No problem. Altough it is a highly specific plug-in, perhaps I can make 
a more generic one.

When I do that what I get is that both, radio and input, get centered 
with respect to the frame, but this is not what I want. The problem is 
that the radio and the input are aligned to their tops, and I would like 
to have them aligned to their center. I have tried different 
combinations of stretch but they didn't work the way I want.

Most of the financial tools have a repository of historical data for the 
analysis (quotes for stocks, bonds, currencies, ...), since all the 
users use the same data, and historycal data does not change. So data is 
part of the program itself, and it gets installed in the same directory 
of the program.
