Newbie trying to align text

wxPython Users
1

Hello,

I just starting with wx.Python and of course have a little problem:

I use this:
naamLbl = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Naam : ", size=(120,-1), style =
wx.ALIGN_RIGHT)

and later in a grid:

wedstr2Sizer.Add(naamLbl, flag=
wx.LEFT|wx.ALIGN_RIGHT|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL)

I thought the first would right align the text, where the second would right
align the widget.

Where an I wrong? I need the txt "Naam : " to be right aligned within the
120 px.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Bauke

You should set the wx.EXPAND flag in the sizer.Add method. I have
attached a quick script that
demonstrates what wx.EXPAND does.

I know I struggled with this when I started.

Yes, that sounds like it should be working, although wx.LEFT is not needed since you do not specify a border size. Please make a small runnable sample that demonstrates the problem so we can see all the details of your situation. MakingSampleApps - wxPyWiki

BTW, there is some code in the demo that does something similar to what it sounds like you want to do. Look at the subpanels in the ScrolledPanel sample. In that case it is not specifying a width for the static texts, so the widget alignment flag is not used.
