We introduced, in TotalCross 1.1, a new Container that is used to align a set of Controls with Labels: AlignedLabelsContainer.
This was somewhat dificult to do using relative positioning. The idea of the control is that you pass an array of Strings in the constructor and then it computes the width of the biggest String. Then it sets the Insets of the Container to don't allow new controls to be added over the Labels. So, LEFT/AFTER in this control will exclude the area of the Labels. You can fine control the distance between each Label, and also the alignment (LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT). Note that there are no Labels at all in the Control: it just draws the Strings one after the other. Here is a picture of the new Control, which was taken from the UIGadgets sample:
