How to get the size of a window

wxPython Users

Hello,

My Problem now is, that parent.GetSize() only returns the ClientSize of
the parent-window (wxFrame) and not the whole size of the window. Also there
was no GetPos() or something like that for the wxFame.

wxFrame has a GetPosition() method because it's derived (inherited) from
wxWindow class. (And wxWindow has a GetPosition() method)

Alternatively you could say wxFrame.Centre() to center the Frame on
screen.

Hello Atti,

...thats right ...I must have been blind... Thanks for that!

Alternatively you could say wxFrame.Centre() to center the Frame on
screen.

The Problem with that is, that I have a Window with some Buttons as the Apps
Menubar and then some Client-windows that should stick to the Menubar.

Am I right, that the clientsize + the size of Titlebar and borders would be
the whole Size of the Window?

So, is there any possibility to find out these (OS-dependent) Sizes??

Thanks in advance,

Bjoern

Hi,

be

the whole Size of the Window?

I think GetSize() or GetSizeTuple() gives the whole size of the window. I
may have missed some of the earlier mails but it seems this is what you are
looking for. GetClientSize() returns only the client size.

So, is there any possibility to find out these (OS-dependent) Sizes??

wxSystemSettings gives you all the system dependent sizes of things like
window borders, captions, scroll bars, etc.

Hi Rick,

[...]

... unfortunately not. My Window was 780 X 80 and GetSize gave me 752 x 56 or
something like that and I think, this could only be the "inner size".

looking for. GetClientSize() returns only the client size.

TNX 1.0E6 !!!
I think this will do what I need.

Bye,
