Hello i am trying to creating a simple very simple application, but as i see
how iam going to go about every thing, i find the problem. There is a
wxTexCtrl that needs to spann some colums. but when i extende it's size the
other also changes position as you can see in the photo below.

BoxSizer’s don’t have columns. Perhaps you were referring to a GridSizer, GridBagSizer or similar? I have a tutorial on the latter: wxPython Sizers Tutorial: Using a GridBagSizer - Mouse Vs Python

There are also these links that may help you:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/SizerTutorials

If you meant that you want your widgets to stretch within a BoxSizer, then you’ll need to do something like this:

mySizer.Add(widget, proportion=1, flag=wx.EXPAND)
