Add Scroll boxes around wxgrid

[guzzi_jones]

How do i add scroll boxes around a wxgrid.
I have a wxgrid on my frame, but when the results are longer than the display i have no way to scroll down.
Thanks as always very helpful.

I attached a pic of what i explained.

I tried to add the scroll attributes, but it did not help
Grid1 = new wxGrid(Panel1, ID_GRID1, wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(516,218), wxVSCROLL|wxHSCROLL, _T("ID_GRID1"));

Usually you don't have to do anything to make the scrollbars appear. They should be displayed automatically if the client size of the grid is too small to display its content.

From the screenshot it looks like the grid is big enough, but leaving the parent window at the bottom. This shouldn't happen if you're using sizers.

Maybe you can post some more code.

As i can't just paste this code into a minimal sample to test it myself, i'll make a first blind guess:

Code: Select all

Grid1 = new wxGrid(Panel1, ID_GRID1, wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(516,209), wxVSCROLL|wxHSCROLL, _T("ID_GRID1"));
BoxSizer2->Add(Grid1, 1, wxALL|wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL|wxALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL, 5); 

Use wxEXPAND instead of wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL|wxALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL for the sizer flags.

And BTW: I assume this code is generated by some GUI editor? Most sizer flags are illogical. E.g having both wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL and wxALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL in a wxBoxSizer doesn't make sense. Same goes for the combination of wxEXPAND with wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL or wxALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL depending on the direction of the sizer.

You are correct!. I am using codeblocks with wxwidgets/wxsmith add ons.
Is there a really good tutorial i can pick up to learn wxwidgets for a newb. I have been teaching myself c++ for a few months now, but i am still learning. Thanks.

aahhh. my bad.
after i drew the wxgrid i had:
Grid1->AutoSize();

which created a new size for the grid. All good now!
