I was able to discover the left by just added all the column widths. But what Larry has discovered is an issue in my mind. We are using sizers for the panel (there are multiple panels with multiple tabs). We add each object to a vertical sizer for each panel. However, for this one item ( the textbox that follows the location of the last column on a grid) we don't explictly add the textbox to the panels sizer. But instead add it to the form (self.Form.paidlbl = dabo.ui.dTextBox(self, DynamicPosition=self.pdlblpos, DynamicWidth = self.pdlblwidth). For some reason (unknown to me) the textbox appears at the correct location. I would have thought that the textbox would have appeared on all tabs (because we appear to be adding it to the form and not the panel). Also in general, just adding an object using position on a form that uses sizers seems wrong. Are we going the wrong way with this?
