Robin,
Thanks. I know there have been many changes in Python, wxWidgets, and
wxPython over the years so I've been looking for current documentation that
I can use for reference with current versions.
The Phoenix docs are the most up to date. There are some differences
between Phoenix and Classic, but probably close enough.
Are you using a sizer in the frame?
Yes.
Does the frame have other child widgets?
No.
If a frame has only one child then it will automatically resize it to
fit in the frame's client area by default. If it has more than one
child or if you want different behavior then you'll either need to
give it some help with a sizer, or explicitly manage the children's
layout in the frame's EVT_SIZE handler.
A semi-common problem that could could result in the layout failure you
describe is if there is no size event after the sizer has been set. If
the frame was created with a fixed size and shown and then after the
child widgets and sizers are added there is nothing that change the size
of the frame, then there will be no initial size event and the sizer is
not triggered. In cases like this it is easiest to just do something
like self.Layout() in the frame after all the content has been created
and the sizers set.
