Sizer Question

[cr_itm]

Hello,

I'm new to the concept of sizers, and I like the mechanism. Just one question:

A horizontal sizer positions its childs horizontally, a vertical sizer positions its childs vertically. But, what if I want two objects (let's say two wxStaticBoxSizers) be aligned vertically (one StaticBox under the other), but expand horizontally?

I use a vertical BoxSizer to align the StaticBoxes under each other. But then thay expand vertically, not horizontally. I want them to not expand vertically, but horizontally.

How can I do this?

I hope I could describe it well enough.

Thanks a lot!

Use the flag wxEXPAND.

Use the flag wxEXPAND.

Thanks for the answer, but I used the wxEXPAND flag. Here is my code:

Code: Select all

wxBoxSizer* pSizer1 = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);

wxStaticBoxSizer* pSizer1_1 = new wxStaticBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL, p, "Simulation Control");

wxStaticBoxSizer* pSizer1_2 = new wxStaticBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL, p, "Record Simulation");


pSizer1->Add(pSizer1_1, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 5);
pSizer1->Add(pSizer1_2, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 5);

pSizer1_1->Add(pText_SimScript, wxALL, 5);

p->SetSizer(pSizer1);

There are two StaticBoxes, expanding vertically. But they use a minimal width (taking from the with of the static text pText_SimScript), and do not expand horizontally, but I want them to do so.

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance

Code: Select all

pSizer1->Add(pSizer1_1, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 5);
pSizer1->Add(pSizer1_2, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 5);

pSizer1_1->Add(pText_SimScript, wxALL, 5);

It looks like you are missing a parameter in there (proportion). Try this:

Code: Select all

pSizer1->Add(pSizer1_1, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 5);
pSizer1->Add(pSizer1_2, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 5);

pSizer1_1->Add(pText_SimScript, 0, wxALL, 5);
