[SOLVED] Overlapping TextCtrls

[Slyde]

I have a wxNoteBook that I add a page to that'll hold a wxPanel with two TextCtrls on it. But when I run it, the two TextCtrls are overlapping, one lying on top of the other. But as soon as I resize it even one pixel, the TextCtrls jump into place.

Code: Select all

{
    wxBoxSizer* mainSizer = new wxBoxSizer( wxVERTICAL);
    wxNotebook* notebook = new wxNotebook(this, wxID_ANY);
    mainSizer->Add( notebook, 1, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 5);


    wxPanel *panel1 = new wxPanel(notebook, wxID_ANY);
    wxBoxSizer *panel1Sizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
    panel1->SetSizer(panel1Sizer);

    wxBoxSizer *textCtrl1Sizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL);
    wxTextCtrl* textCtrl1 = new wxTextCtrl(panel1, wxID_ANY, "textCtrl1");
    textCtrl1Sizer->Add(textCtrl1, 1);
    panel1Sizer->Add(textCtrl1Sizer, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 5);

    wxBoxSizer *textCtrl3Sizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL);
    wxTextCtrl* textCtrl3 = new wxTextCtrl(panel1, wxID_ANY, "textCtrl3");
    textCtrl3Sizer->Add(textCtrl3, 1);
    panel1Sizer->Add(textCtrl3Sizer, 0, wxEXPAND | wxLEFT | wxRIGHT | wxBOTTOM, 5);

    notebook->AddPage(panel1, L"Tab 1");

    SetSizer(mainSizer);

    SetMinClientSize(wxSize(1000,550));

    mainSizer->Fit(this);
}

What am I missing?

FWIW, the controls are displayed properly from start on Win10 with GIT master, when running it like this

Code: Select all

#include <wx/wx.h>
#include <wx/notebook.h>

class MyFrame : public wxFrame
{
public:
    MyFrame() : wxFrame(nullptr, wxID_ANY, "Test")
    {
        wxBoxSizer* mainSizer = new wxBoxSizer( wxVERTICAL);
        wxNotebook* notebook = new wxNotebook(this, wxID_ANY);
        mainSizer->Add( notebook, 1, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 5);


        wxPanel *panel1 = new wxPanel(notebook, wxID_ANY);
        wxBoxSizer *panel1Sizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
        panel1->SetSizer(panel1Sizer);

        wxBoxSizer *textCtrl1Sizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL);
        wxTextCtrl* textCtrl1 = new wxTextCtrl(panel1, wxID_ANY, "textCtrl1");
        textCtrl1Sizer->Add(textCtrl1, 1);
        panel1Sizer->Add(textCtrl1Sizer, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 5);

        wxBoxSizer *textCtrl3Sizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL);
        wxTextCtrl* textCtrl3 = new wxTextCtrl(panel1, wxID_ANY, "textCtrl3");
        textCtrl3Sizer->Add(textCtrl3, 1);
        panel1Sizer->Add(textCtrl3Sizer, 0, wxEXPAND | wxLEFT | wxRIGHT | wxBOTTOM, 5);

        notebook->AddPage(panel1, L"Tab 1");

        SetSizer(mainSizer);

        SetMinClientSize(wxSize(1000,550));

        mainSizer->Fit(this);
    }
};

class MyApp : public wxApp
{
public:
    bool OnInit() override
    {
        (new MyFrame)->Show();
        return true;
    }
}; wxIMPLEMENT_APP(MyApp);

The code looks OK to me, no extra calls like Layout() or even SendSizeEvent() should be needed. OTOH, trying if it helps probably would do no harm.

Thanks for the reply, PB. I actually got it to work just now by adding another boxSizer with a couple buttons in it.
