RowColSizer problem

wxPython Users

Hi,
  I can't make a control in a RowColSizer resize only horizontally.
  With a wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL) this would be sizer.Add(ctrl, 1) but I
can't do that with the RowColSizer, I can only make them grow to fill
the cell.
  Is this a limitation of the sizer or am I doing something wrong?

TIA,
  Javier

My original code can't handle this.

The RowColSizer doesn't use the option parameter so it either fills the cell or can be aligned within the cell depending on the flags passed.

You can probably derive a class and override SetItemBounds and do something like this yourself...

I worked around it using boxSizers. I'll just leave it like this.

Thanks,
