Preventing Frame Resizing or Resizing Widgets

wxPython Users

When the frame is resized by dragging on a corner the non-grid widgets on
the panel do not shrink, but are lost to view. This seems to be the result
of having a wx.Grid with a defined number of rows occupying most of the
panel's interior.

   What is the recommended way of addressing this issue? I've not seen a way
to make the grid shrink with the frame. I know that I can append rows as
needed, but that's done in a method when the 'Add' button is clicked and the
data fill the last available row.

Please include two snapshots or example code.

You can prevent frame resizing by using the SetSizeHints method: wxPython API Documentation — wxPython Phoenix 4.2.2 documentation

Something to think about anyway.
