GUI equivalent of TransformNode for grouping

Questions
1

Hi there,
How do I group GUI elements? Can’t see a node for that. TransformNode when set as a parent of a gui element throws the following:
error TS2740: Type ‘TransformNode’ is missing the following properties from type ‘Container’…

Thanks in advance

Depending on how and why you want to group them you could use the stackpanel or grid

You can use a BABYLON.GUI.Container()
It will work simular to a transformNode, children are offset by it’s transformation, inherits visibility setting, etc

@aWeirdo I have 1 extra question: the whole point of my question was to create a collection that stores only the parent, and via scene graph I would be able to access children. So my question here is: is container with added control a real parent I can query for children?

Do these help Container - Babylon.js Documentation, Container - Babylon.js Documentation ?
