Fix size of sizer cells?

wxPython Users

Hi, I’m new to wxPython and tryed to work with wxGlade, but also to write some GUIs myself (following the tutorials).

But I still have problems with a relative sinmple problem: How can I fix the size of a sizer cell?

Example:
The dialog of an instant messagner. It is divided into two main parts.
The chat (textbox) and the message/send (textbox+button). I want the
message/send part to stay at its size, when I resize the window and I
want the chatbox to resize automatically.

Sorry, if the question was already posted several times - I did not
find any answer (I guess I just don not know what to look for).

Thanks for any answer,
Michael

PS: Sorry if I sent the mail twice - school network is f***ing around …

There are several ways to do this and they can be found in "Sizers"
and "GridBagSizer" under the "Window Layout" section of the wxPython
demo.

Set the second argument of Sizer.Add() to 0

I want the message/send part to stay at its size, when I resize the
window and I want the chatbox to resize automatically.

pseudo code:

S = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

S.Add(ChatBox, 1, wx.EXPAND)

S.Add(MsgBox, 0, wx.EXPAND)
