notebook trouble

Hello, I created a notedbook with some buttons and other controls. When I change the notebook to multiline and execute my program, the controls on the notebook look strange. When I resize the frame everything moves to where it should and looks ok. When I view the notebook in the editor it looks and behaves ok. I attached my code. What might be happening here? Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

Adding the notebook to a boxsizer with proportion 1 and wx.EXPAND and do a setsizer for it on the frame fixes this.

See you
Werner

Thanks Werner, I know that some controls don’t need sizers, for example if I put a panel withing a frame. A notebook does need a sizer though if it is placed within a frame? thanks for the help, its much appreciated.

This is from the docs:

If the frame has exactly one child window, not counting the status and toolbar, this child is resized to take the entire frame client area. If two or more windows are present, they should be laid out explicitly either by manually handling wxEVT_SIZE or using sizers <wx_sizeroverview.html#sizeroverview>

A notebook is not special from this aspect.

ok thanks. I added a sizer to my frame and added the notebook to it. it doesn’t seem to solve the problem of the initial sizing. I attached my code. Any ideas? thanks!

Well I did find that I was adding a sizer using AddWindow, I changed these to AddSizer for adding a sizer to a sizer. alhtough this didn’t seem to fix my trouble. I attached my code. there are two areas that cause trouble. one is that the sizers overlap the multiline notebook tabs, the other is that the static text controls in the “line” notebook page are initially off in a corner. Only when the frame is resized do the controls go to where they should be. I’m not sure why this is happening.

Hi Jeff,

Adding the following sizer.Fit does the trick this time:
    def __init__(self, parent):
        self._init_ctrls(parent)
        self.bsFrame.Fit(self)

Don't ask me to explain this, my tactic with sizers is trial and error :slight_smile:

See you
Werner
