wx.lib.sized_controls¶

The sized controls default HIG compliant sizers under the hood and provides a simple interface for customizing those sizers.

The following sized controls exist:

SizedFrame SizedDialog SizedPanel SizedScrolledPanel :class SizedStaticBox

Description¶

The sized controls allow you to create sizer based layouts without having to code the sizers by hand, but still provide you the manual detailed control of the sizer and sizer items if necessary.

Usage¶

Sample usage:

import wx
import wx.lib.sized_controls as sc

app = wx.App(0)

frame = sc.SizedFrame(None, -1, "A sized frame")

pane = frame.GetContentsPane()
pane.SetSizerType("horizontal")

b1 = wx.Button(pane, wx.ID_ANY)
t1 = wx.TextCtrl(pane, -1)
t1.SetSizerProps(expand=True)

frame.Show()

app.MainLoop()
