Here every message is of the same size, but when I insert an image (for ex, dimension of 128x128) in this vpgrid, that image is being overlapped on the messages.

Why vpgrid? Why not viewport and vbox?

Can't use the viewport because it is being displayed at the corner of the screen.
Also, can't use vbox because I need a component with scrolling functionality because messages will be added dynamically.

You can place viewport anywhere with any size, including in the corner of the screen. Internally vpgrid is literally a viewport, if you couldn't do something with viewport, you wouldn't be able to do this with vpgrid. And if you add vbox with all messages (dynamically filled) it will have scrollbars natively.

Proof of concept using viewport and vbox

Thanks, your logic has solved my problem (it has solved with "has vbox" syntax).

has vbox is just a shorthand for writing vbox: and indenting everything below one level. Also I was bored and made message window autoscroll to the bottom when new message is added. Post if you need it.

Thanks a lot for the clarification, also, I have logic for auto-scrolling so, thanks.
