Problem with layout : Grid in MS Windows

[Olemis Lang]

I am using version 2.8.10 of wxPython . I have a GUI arranged as follows :

button button static text
grid

They are placed inside a panel being the only child of the frame .

In Windows, I have tried the following layouts (indentation suggest
parent/child relationship) :

1. box sizers

vertical box (2 rows)
horizontal box (3 cols)
button
button
static text
grid

2. gridbag sizer

gb sizer
button (0,0)
button (0,1)
static text (0,2)
grid (1,0) colspan=3

2. grid sizer

g sizer
g sizer
button
button
static text
grid

In all cases (in Windows) the grid is always overlapping the buttons
and static text. I thought it was a programming error but I just tried
it in Ubuntu Hardy (GTK isn't it ? ) and it works as expected .

Is this a bug, a known issue or expected behavior ? How could I (Is
there a workaround ;o) to make things work as they should ?

Thanx in advance !

Hi,

On Windows, if you resize the window slightly, do the widgets "snap"
into place? If so, you probably need to call Layout() somewhere in
your program.

If you have a small runnable sample that shows the problem, that would
be good too.

Nope they remain just like they were before

... but this is the cause . I checked once again and I found the
problem. Everything was inside a panel and I was calling the frame's
Layout method instead of the panel's .

Thnx !
