Hiding Panels

wxPython Users
1

I have a column in a FlexGridSizer with several panels. I am able to show/hide the panels as needed. However, when I hide a panel in the middle of the column, I would expect that the other panels would move up into the empty space but they are not. I used wxFormBuilder to build the form and if I click on the hidden box for one of those panels in that program, it behaves just as I would expect. Is there something else that I need to be doing after panel.Hide()?

Wouldn’t that require that panels change their grid position?
I don’t think that is an automatic function. You just have a grid with an unshown object in it.

@Rufus
All of the panels are in the same grid cell.

@Che M
Thanks, panel.GetParent().Layout() worked.
