Help getting a scrolled page in a wx.Listbook

[Ryan Holmes]

Using Python 3.6, wxPython 4.0.1

I have the following code:

import wx

class MyDialog(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, size=wx.DefaultSize)
        mainSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

        self.listbook = wx.Listbook(self, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.LB_DEFAULT)
        mainSizer.Add(self.listbook, 1, wx.EXPAND)

        page = MyPage(self.listbook)
        self.listbook.AddPage(page, "Test")

        self.SetSizer(mainSizer)
        self.Centre(wx.BOTH)
        self.Layout()

class MyPage(wx.ScrolledWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.ScrolledWindow.__init__(self, parent)

        mainSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

        for x in range(20):
            setattr(self, "test{}".format(x), wx.CheckBox(self, wx.ID_ANY, "Test Content {}".format(x),
            wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0))
            mainSizer.Add(getattr(self, "test{}".format(x)), 0, wx.ALL | wx.EXPAND, 5)

        self.SetSizer(mainSizer)
        self.Layout()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.App()
    frame = MyDialog(None)
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()

It's pretty basic boilerplate code that creates a Listbook, adds a page, and generates controls within that page (20 of them). Here's an image of what this code does:

As you can see, it defaults to only showing the first 7 (and a little more some) controls, when there are 20, without any scroll. The user would have to resize the entire window in order to see all the content. I've tried a few different way, with no luck. How can I accomplish this?
Thanks!

Seems google got confused when I inserted the image and posted it at the top as well! Whoops :)

Accomplish what?  You've done a very nice job of coming up with a
minimal test case and describing what the code actually does, but you
haven't told us what behavior you WANT.

I'm guessing you want to see a vertical scrollbars in the content
window.  In that case, you have to provide the scrolling hints.  Add:
        self.SetScrollbars( 1, 1, 20, 20 )
and I think you'll be happier.

Ah, thank you! Yeah, re-reading it I can see I never actually came to what exactly I wanted lol

But thanks, that code works great for what I'm wanting, and it's so simple!
