Dynamic scrolled window with a static area

wxPython Users
#1

Hi all,

I can’t reach to create a dialog window with a dynamic scrolled area, (list of checkboxes) and a static one (2 buttons), in order that I can scroll the area of checkboxes, but with the buttons area always visible (which not part of the scrolled elements).

Is there a way to do that ?

Thanks in advance

Did you try and put your check boxes in a scrolledpanel and the two fixed buttons in another panel, then joining these two panels in a sizer?

Here is some dirty code, I can’t make it to work out, can you achieve it to work ?

Just looking at it on the phone, I believe sizer_general should have self.scroll and self.panel as children, not the other sizers, I.e.:

sizer_general.Add(self.scroll, 1, wx.EXPAND)
sizer_general.Add(self.panel, 0, wx.EXPAND)

I haven’t looked at the proportions and expand flags but I’m sure you get the idea.

now the dialog doesn’t shows up at all, and there is no error message…
What else am I missing do you think ?

Many thanks :slight_smile:

self.scroll.SetSizer(sizer_corp)

I’m still on the phone so take it with a grain of salt :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot Andrea :slight_smile:

But I have another question for you :
how can you get the " self.scroll " to be the largest possible, in order it can occupy all the size of the screen in the y axis (height dimension), as high as it can before it shots the scroll ?
It doesn’t maximize its height… it remains limited to few pixels.
(It is not very “dynamic”)

I tried to change with :
sizer_corp.Add(sizer_list, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND , 5)
but with no sucess …

What is your opinion ?
Sorry to bother you with my questions
