Setting button size in a ButtonPanel?

I have a ButtonPanel and want all the buttons to be the same width. Setting the rect with SetRect() appears to have no effect. Does anyone know a way to do this?

Try making all the buttons the same size using their size parameter in the wx.Button() constructor. I've done something like this before:

<code>
# untested

btnSize = ((30, -1))
myBtn = wx.Button(panel, wx.ID_ANY, size=btnSize)

</code>

myBtn = wx.Button(panel, wx.ID_ANY, size=btnSize)

Thanks for the tip. The ButtonPanel class uses ButtonInfo to create its buttons and does not allow a size parameter, unfortunately.

Thanks for the tip. The ButtonPanel class uses ButtonInfo to create its buttons and does not allow a size parameter, unfortunately.

Derive a new class from ButtonInfo and override GetBestSize.

Ah… I’ll try it. Thanks!
