Suppose I have a window with two grids. I want each grid to be sized to exactly half the window size so I add them both to a BoxSizer and set proportion=1 and flag=wx.EXPAND.
This works perfectly fine if there’s no rows in the grid, but once there are rows the 2nd grid is shrunk down to zero height until all the rows of the first grid are shown. You can see this by resizing the frame vertically. This makes it impossible to use both grids in my application where there could be hundreds or thousands of rows.
I feel like I’m missing something simple here. Using WIT, I can see that both grids have the same minsize of (-1,-1) and they both have the same bestsize (162, 412) in this example. Any ideas?
Windows 7, Python 2.7.3, wxPython 2.9.4.0
Attached is a small sample application to reproduce my problem.
When I set the MinSize for both grids to (10, 10) it works fine.
It's like it's implicitly calculating the minimum size based on the grid's content when it's set to (-1, -1).
BTW, it works fine unmodified with wx 2.8 (tested on windows).
Cheers,
Toni

Thanks Toni, that did the trick. I just stuck SetMinSize(10,10) into my base grid class so that the fix works for all of the grids in my application. Thanks again.

Hmm, I didn’t want any tabs for this blank space. This listbook is not going to be the main one so a news tab wouldn’t work.
When the program starts up there will be by default no tabs, (then the user will add tabs). When there is no tabs (and therefore no space), it just looks a little awkward.

Just have a panel of the same size with a static text saying what will
go there - in the same place as the listbook but hide the listbook until
there is a tab then hide the panel - you may need to put both of them in
their own sizers for this to work properly.
