Dialog size to fit controls size

Hi,

My goal is to create a dialog that fits It’s control’s size

I started by creating a dialog that contains only TextCtrl

def InitUI_option1(self):
    self.CreateTextCtrl()
    self.Layout()

def CreateTextCtrl(self):
    textCtrl = ExpandoTextCtrl(self, -1, "", style=wx.TE_MULTILINE|wx.TE_RICH2 | wx.NO_BORDER | wx.TE_DONTWRAP)
    for idx in range(0,10):
        textCtrl.AppendText("text1 text1 text1 text1 text1 text1 \n")

``

This created the window I expected means - The size of the window was set to the size of the control without scrolling

Then I tried to insert the control to a BoxSizer in the following code

def InitUI_option2(self):
BoxSizer_TextCtrl = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
BoxSizer_TextCtrl.Add(self.CreateTextCtrl(),1, flag = wx.ALL, border = 10)
self.SetSizer(BoxSizer_TextCtrl)
self.Layout()

``

And this made the control present only one line with scroll (which I don’t want)

you can see the dialogs in the attached file

I know I am missing something simple but I coul’d not find why

Thanks,

Ilan
