Pheonix - Having issues resizing panel based on user action

[Ryan Holmes]

Hello,

I am trying to port over a bit of code from wx2.8 to wxPheonix (3.0.3.dev78356 msw). I'm using code from the pyfa project (https://github.com/DarkFenX/Pyfa) which is currently being rewritten for python3. This code takes some concepts from PyCollapsiblePane and implements it better (there are some bugs with PCP). If you download and open pyfa, the collapsible panels are on the right side (resources, resistances, etc) if you want to get a feel for how it is supposed to work.

Anyway, I'm trying to port this over and I cannot seem to get it to work well. I know Pheonix introduces some changes to sizers and how things are resized. I am able to collapse the panel (and have the parent panel fit to the new size), and then open it again. But when I try to collapse it again nothing seems to happen. 

This is the module that I'm working on (the script has a test case if run directly): http://pastebin.com/ghuVGXWN

Any ideas?

Here's what is currently happening:

And here is how it's suppposed to work (wxPython 2.8 in the pyfa app)

Hi Ryan,

BTW, the sizer changes happened already in 2.9.5.

Just as a quick hack I tried:
#toggle_panel = TogglePanel(self)
toggle_panel = pycp.PyCollapsiblePane(self)
toggle_panel.SetLabel("Test Header")

#content_panel = toggle_panel.GetContentPanel()
content_panel = toggle_panel.GetPane()

To me it looks like PyCollabsiblePane as of 2.9.5 behaves correctly.

1. What about consider switching back to PyCollabsiblePane and submit a
PR for the optimizations done in pyfa.
2. Check out the differences between 2.8.12 and 2.9.5 or Phoenix of
PyCollapsiblePane and reimplement them in pyfa

Hrm, I could have sworn I tried PCP and it didn't work correctly. Maybe I fumbled and tried it in 2.8. Seems to work well in Pheonix

I will look into how it resizes everything and implement it into our own version, will post back with the results. I'll also consider contributing the to module - how does one go about doing this? I primarily use github, but wxPython uses svn. I guess I could contact the original author...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. =)

wxWidgets and wxPython recently switched to github -
