I can understand that, but I was under the impression that the rows in
a BoxSizer had to all be the same size. Is that not true?
No.
my $sizer = Wx::BoxSizer->new(wxVERTICAL);
Things you add will get allocated space in the vertical direction
according to the proportion param to $sizer->Add. If you want things to
expand to the full width of the sizer, add wxEXPAND flag.
my $sizer = Wx::BoxSizer->new(wxHORIZONTAL);
Things you add will get allocated space in the horizontal direction
according to the proportion param to $sizer->Add. If you want things to
expand to the full height of the sizer, add wxEXPAND flag.
So effectively, for a vertical Wx::BoxSizer, you get vertical slots
which will expand in the vertical direction.
In terms of getting the minimum size for a control, if the default isn't
quite what you want, consider using $control->SetMinSize before adding
to the sizer. (or passing a specific size to the constructor). But in
general, try to avoid setting specific sizes.
Learn to love sizers and you'll achieve cross-platform happiness. Note
that the Wx::Demo example code has to be backwards compatible with many
versions of Wx and wxWidgets and also account for the swapping in and
swapping out of panels in the demo. In your own code you might not need
to call
$window->SetAutoLayout
$window->Fit
$window->Layout
at all and just rely on it all to happen automatically. Just be aware
that methods are available to force certain things to happen if you
contrive a case where it doesn't work automatically.
Hope this helps.
