How to proper alighn widgets

Post by maximand »

Hello,
I have an issue with dialog on Linux. Weekday name is displayed outside the transaction dialog's border
And wxChoice widgets are smaller than other widgets in the transaction dialog:

l1.PNG (30.43 KiB) Viewed 966 times

The same dialog on Windows OS looks nice

The code:

Please advice how to fix?

I guess this the problem.

Code: Select all

itemStaticTextWeek_ = new wxStaticText(this, wxID_STATIC, "");
This text is initially empty and the dialog is big enough for that. But when you change this text, you must re-Layout() the sizer and adjust the dialog size.

But it wouldn't look nice if the size of the dialog changes, each time the user changes the date. So maybe it's better to just reserve a size that's guaranteed to be big enough for all days/translations.
Use the source, Luke!

doublemax, thank you.

We have implemented this hack:

Code: Select all

    //Text field for name of day of the week
    wxSize WeekDayNameMaxSize(wxDefaultSize);
    for (wxDateTime::WeekDay d = wxDateTime::Sun;
            d != wxDateTime::Inv_WeekDay;
            d = wxDateTime::WeekDay(d+1))
        WeekDayNameMaxSize.IncTo(GetTextExtent(
            wxGetTranslation(wxDateTime::GetEnglishWeekDayName(d))));

    itemStaticTextWeek_ = new wxStaticText(this, wxID_STATIC, "",
        wxDefaultPosition, WeekDayNameMaxSize, wxST_NO_AUTORESIZE);
