extra sized dialogs under win32

I'd thought about posting on this myself. Would have replied sooner, but apparently my subscription to the list was no longer active.

I think I've tracked down the difference that's causing dialogs to show up larger than they should, though.

In wxPython 2.6, these seemed to be pretty much equivalent:

Method A:
self.SetSizer( sizer )
self.Fit()

Method B:
self.SetSizerAndFit( sizer )

In 2.7, however, Method B results in the same size as under 2.6, but Method A results in a larger size.

Not sure why the difference is there, but that does seem to be the difference.

Thanks for reminding me about this issue. I forgot to mark the original email so it slipped my mind.

The difference is that in 2.7 wxWindow::Fit calls SetClientSize instead of SetSize. But the sizers take into account the difference between size and client size so Fit really should be using SetSize... I'll see what I can do.

BTW, the equivalent to the 2.6 Fit would be to call self.SetSize(self.GetBestSize()). SetSizerAndFit actually calls sizer.Fit not window.Fit, so it has a bit different results (the window's min size will be set, etc.)
