So I have the following question which I believe is quite valid.
So Box and Grid are Layout components which you are suppose to add other components inside those as far as I'm aware. However sometimes Box does the job for me and sometimes is Grid and SOMETIMES I use both at same time.
This question came to mind to me after I was trying to CENTER a component, so in this example when I use GRID I can center the component in the middle of the screen without any issues:
Grid Example:
ExampleA-Sandbox
Box Example:
ExampleB-Sandbox
I know I can just simply add pl={number} to the box component and then I can move the box to a desire location but that's not the point.

I have a working vertical column drag and drop React app using react-beautiful-dnd, but would like to 'invert' it so that Draggable items fall to the bottom of the Droppable div instead of floating to the top. Is this possible?
If I'm understanding you correctly, you'd like to have a list where when the container is not full, the items within that list are aligned to the bottom of the container?
If so, then yes - I would utilize flexbox.
Here is a good resource for flex - https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
There are multiple different ways to implement this with flex. Pick your poison.

Based on the code sandbox:
I would add a wrapper div to the bay component with the same height as what you have now. On the child div, add a dynamic height field that is dependent on how many tables the bay contains.
Users won't be able to drop into the entire column but you could style it to show the user where they need to drop when the column is empty.
I ended up just creating another invisible strip with flexGrow = 1 to push everything to the bottom.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask because I dont have any code to show. I'm actually looking for ideas on possible ways to solve my problem.
I have an app that displays the grid on the screen when the media query has a min width of a tablet.
But when the view is in mobile mode I don't want to show the grid. Instead I have a drop down menu which has a grid option. When selected will be show in a paper-dialog (pop up)
The problem is I have to create two grids (vaadin-grid) and show the appropriate one based on the view. Is there a way to have only one grid? Can I put it in a paper-dialog but not pop-out when in tablet and desktop view?
Thanks in advance
If your grid element has every custom property then that is an element in the DOM, so you can move it into the dialog if thats needed using javascript:
let myGrid = this.$$('#myGrid');
let myDialogContent = this.$$('#myDialogContent');
Polymer.dom(myDialogContent).appendChild(myGrid);
Also if you think it a different way, then you can hide the grid outside of the screen and you can slide that in when it's needed like a drawer panel and you dont need to move the element at all in the DOM.
By the way for programming question stackoverflow has the https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/ site, but I think it is Ok to send it here.
I've a GUI built app and I set many Icon images in the code for some components.
The thing is I've made sure all "padding" and "margin" values are the same for the different states of the components (unselected, pressed, etc) but when I try to input data into the TextFields, it seems like the dimensions of some components change without notice and they completely mess with my layout.
Even sometimes some of the icons partially disappear. Please see the following screenshot of before and after text input, where the Container and TextFields shrink
I really don't know what else I can do. I have tried many things, but stil the same outcome. Please help.
You need to make the container housing all this components scrollable.
Use Millimeters for your TextField padding and margin, don't use Screen Percentage. From the image in the images you posted, 2mm top and bottom and 1mm left and right would be suitable.
If the components having those icons are pressable like a button, be sure to set their pressedIcon to the same icon.
Lastly, style your TextField Unselected state and copy this to Selected and Pressed states, to avoid erroneous styling.
I'm trying to create Custom Form configuration with scrollable TitleArea. The Form (black) has a BoxLayout.Y_AXIS Layout in BorderLayout.CENTER (blue). StatusBar (green) stays in BorderLayout.NORTH (green), when rest of the TitleArea (cyan) is in the first position in BoxLayout.
removeComponentFromForm function is unavailable for using in extended class. How can I remove components from Form to removing titleArea from BorderLayout.NORTH?
Why use the title area at all? Why not just add a component to the top of the box layout Y and style it as a Title that way you can scroll it out?
You can also use the new Toolbar API that includes many abilities to fade out the title as you scroll etc. See:

Please have a look on the following image.
How to display values along slider like bars with values ( Extremely unlikely, Neutral and Extremely likely ) as displaying in above image ?
I am fairly certain this is no built-in functionality for this. Make sure to always check out the Sencha Market in case someone made a custom component/extension/plugin though just in case.
My recommendation would be to create your own custom component, which should be simply a container with a vbox layout. First item should be your slider, second item probably another container with a hbox layout. Put your slider values as items under the hbox container with some custom CSS. Take it one step further if you want, and maybe in your constructor/initialize function add a listener to the slider and when it changes you can do something with the labels to indiciate the selected value.
