sized_control and wx.lib.agw.aui

Hi (probably Kevin and/or Andrea;-) ),

I have a layout using aui and the dialog and all panels are sized_control version of these controls, all works well until I try to manually detach/float one of the panels, when I try to do this I get this exception:

dexternalimp.py, line 1246, in <module>
   dlg.ShowModal()
_windows.py, line 805, in ShowModal
   return _windows_.Dialog_ShowModal(*args, **kwargs)
dexternalimp.py, line 1224, in onImportVintButton
   self.newWineDialog(self.dbItem, xmlLog)

framemanager.py, line 4237, in CreateFloatingFrame
   return AuiFloatingFrame(parent, self, pane_info)

   size=pane.floating_size, style=style, name="auiFloatingFrame")

sized_controls.py, line 617, in AddChild
   SizedParent.AddChild(self, child)
sized_controls.py, line 488, in AddChild
   item = sizer.Add(child)

self = wx.lib.sized_controls.SizedPanel instance
child = wx._windows.MiniFrame

A SizedPanel has a sizer, so I don't understand why at this point for some reason the sizer is gone.

Appreciate any tips on what might cause this.

Problem can be recreated by detaching e.g. the lower left panel when running the attached code.

P.S.
I am using wxPython 2.9.4.0.b20120623 on Python 2.7.2 and AGW hasn't been updated for a few month - will try that later today).

P.S.2
Andrea, could we take up the AUI tutorial idea again?

Have been digging a bit more on this problem.

In wx.lib.aui.framemanager.py from about line 6226 we have this:

         # delete old sizer first
         self._frame.SetSizer(None)

         # create a layout for all of the panes
         sizer = self.LayoutAll(self._panes, self._docks, self._uiparts, False)

If self._frame is a sizedControl this removes its sizer which then causes the above error. self.LayoutAll is creating a new sizer which later on will be used for self._frame.SetSizer(sizer) but it is too late if control is a sizedControl.

Any tip on how I should go about to come up with a patch for this?

Ideally AUI should leave the sizer(s) managed by SizedControl alone, especially as AUI uses a BoxSizer when creating the new sizer which might not be what was used in the SizedControl.

Any one has a suggestion on how to fix this, besides adding an additional panel to just hold the sized_control - pretty ugly:-( .

I guess a work around would be not to allow floating.

I can fix the above exception by using a wx.Panel for the panel AUI is managing. So, maybe aui.SetManagedWindow should check that managed window is not a sized control window.

Now I have another little problem. I float two panes and I close the dialog they belong to, the panes stay there and don't close, nor can I do anything with them if I open the dialog again, i.e. can't unfloat, nor are they usable in any way.

How do I ensure that floated panes close?

Hi Andrea,

I think there is no real need to support sized_control as the window which is managed by AUI.

The following patch just ensures that people don't use it, as errors are not certainly obvious when one does use it.

Thank you for the patch, I have uploaded it in SVN for both Classic and Phoenix.
