resizing a wx.grid

[Michael P. Soulier]

Hey people,

I have a wx.grid inside of a wx.Frame, but the grid isn't filling in all of
the space inside of the frame, nor does it resize when the frame resizes.

How might I accomplish that?

topVertBoxSizer = self.GetSizer()
self.processGrid = wx.grid.Grid(self, -1, size=(1, 1))
self.processGrid.CreateGrid(0, self.nColumns)
self.processGrid.SetColLabelValue(0, "PID")
self.processGrid.SetColLabelValue(1, "SILOS")
self.processGrid.SetColLabelValue(2, "TASKS")
self.processGrid.SetColLabelValue(3, "%CPU")
self.processGrid.SetColLabelValue(4, "%MEM")
self.processGrid.SetColLabelValue(5, "COMMAND")
topVertBoxSizer.Add(self.processGrid, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)

Thanks,
Mike

If self is the frame and self.processGrid is the only thing inside the
frame, do this somewhere after the grid creation:

self.processGrid.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, self.OnSize)

And add this method on the frame:

def OnSize(self, evt):
self.processGrid.SetSize(self.GetClientSize())

That should work, and with quick test in PyShell it does work for me.
The grid is sized to fill the frame. (You can tell by the white area of
the grid getting stretched as the frame does.) You're not expecting
the sizer to resize the columns or to add rows are you?

The parent does contain widgets above the grid.

Your code left me with an incomplete grid for some reason, but this seems to
help.

self.processGrid.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, self.onGridSize)

def onGridSize(self, event):
width, height = self.GetClientSizeTuple()
for col in range(NCOLUMNS):
self.processGrid.SetColSize(col, width/(NCOLUMNS+1))

This works!

Is there a way to get rid of the first column where it holds the row number?
I'd rather not have it.

Also, is this the best solution? Isn't there a simple way to tell the child to
always resize to the client area of the parent?

grid.SetRowLabelSize(0)

Proper use of sizers will let you do this.
