wxCheckListBox size, is there any way to force it to display everything?

[Tony Kennedy]

I'm using a wxCheckListBox (and it's working perfectly).

There are only 10 entries, and I'm using it like a menu. I'd like to make sure the entire list is visible. At the moment, it displays using a scroll bar.

I've tried getting various sizes, nothing seems to give me the size if everything is being displayed.

wxSize szCheckListBox = m_pCheckListBox->GetSize();
wxSize szCheckListBoxVirtual = m_pCheckListBox->GetVirtualSize();

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Tony.

I don't think there is a way to do it directly, its GetBestSize()
implementation typically restricts its height to some "reasonable" value.
However you should be able to use GetCountPerPage() to check if the page
is big enough and increase its size if necessary.
