Yes. Use LayoutFlushGroup() and LayoutChanged() as bookends to a group you want to change. Don't call CreateLayout() though. Have CreateLayout() call a method that does the group element setup between the GroupBegin()/GroupEnd() of the group that will be changed. Have another method called to do later flushes and resetting (LayoutMyGroup() in this case) :

//*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*
Bool CreateLayout()
//*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*
{
     ...
     GroupBegin(GROUP_MYGROUP,BFH_SCALEFIT|BFV_SCALEFIT,0L,2L,String(""),0L);
     {
          CreateMyGroupElements();
     }
     GroupEnd();
     ...
}
// Relayout MyGroup
//*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*
void LayoutMyGroup()
//*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*
{
     LayoutFlushGroup(GROUP_MYGROUP);
     CreateMyGroupElements();
     LayoutChanged(GROUP_MYGROUP);
}
// Create MyGroup Elements
//*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*
void CreateMyGroupElements()
//*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*
{
     AddButton(blah, blah);
     ...
}

Hi kuroyume0161,

thanks for your reply. Yes, I tried it and it works, do you have an idea how to add a element without deleting the content of the group?

I would like to have an insertion point at the end of the group without deleting the elements before.

Bye

Use a group around just that element. You can do this with any group and there really isn't much penalty for things like lots of groups with one or few elements in each. Even an empty group at first can be filled or emptied as needed. As you can see, the only thing required is a group ID for reference.
