sizer question

Greetings,

I have a grid control in a panel and two other panels in the frame. I generate the grid dynanmically and would like to set the size of the frame such that grid is exactly fit and there are no scrollers. How do I do this?

Yes, I am using sizers. But I got a feeling that whatever I do with sizers, it’s not going to change the size of my main frame and I would like to do that based up on the size of the grid. Then I tried reading the size of the grid using grid.GetSize() and it returns the current size of the grid. How do you get the expanded size(with no scrollers) of a grid if I want to use this size to enforce size of the frame.

Thanks in advance,

Ananda

I guess you have to set to do something like this:
grid.SetMinSize(grid.GetSize())
Afterwards you have to layout and fit your main frame again.

Thanks for the response Stani…

Would you mind elaborating a little on “Afterwards you have to layout and fit your main frame again.”

Probably something like this (self=frame), supposing that the grid is in
the first sizer of your frame:
self.grid.SetMinSize(self.grid.GetVirtualSize())
self.SetMinSize(self.GetSizer().GetMinSize())
self.Fit()

The size you are after is the virtual size, which you want to match with
the visible client size. (So this was wrong in my first post.)

I think, this is tricky. At least you can't do that only by relying on the
sizing mechanism of sizers. See that thread:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.wxpython/34427/focus=34521

I once solved that like this:

size = 0
for c in range(self.GetNumberCols()):
     size += self.GetColSize(c)
size += self.GetRowLabelSize()+1

self.SetSizeHints(size,-1)
self.SetMinSize((size, -1))

where self is a wx.Grid

Thanks Christian…

It worked great.
