because I am writing ab app with multi-languages support, it is not a
good idea to use a bitmap, on which the border is drawn with fixed
cell size, as the background pic.
maybe a table/cell works, but since the text in the parentheses is the
type of the control. for example, a choice is used for the bloodtype,
so we can choose A/B/O. there exists 3 problems
1. how to set the color/width/other style of the border line
2. as the blue line shows, Name/Address/Job have a border on the same
vertical line, it is hard to do this in a table( we have to merge many
cells, I don't like it)
3. how to embed combo/pic in cell? I don't find it in demo\GridCustEditor.py

As for how to do the design, I would either use a group of nested BoxSizers or a FlexGridSizer. I don't think the grid widget is a good fit. You might take a look at the Sized Controls demo as well. I haven't used that method before, but I think it looks interesting.

One way to do this is to embed each of your items in their own panel and give the panels a EVT_PAINT handler which draws a border around the edges of that panel, and then put those panels in the sizer.
Another (possibly better) way is to bind the EVT_PAINT handler to the parent panel that contains all the items, and it can use the items in the sizer to figure out where to draw lines. You can get all the sizer items with self.GetSizer().GetChildren().

You can also draw a basic borders around panels easily by passing a border style in the style parameter. For example,
