Spacer Appears to Malfunction

wxPython Users

In the attached sample file, I want to keep the static text label adjacent
to its text entry field, but I'd like the pairs to expand when the window is
enlarged. The spacer must have a runtime error that keeps it from working.

   What have I missed here?

You only allow the space between the text and label to expand. Did you want
the wx.TextCtrls to expand, too?

You didn't tell the outerBox that hbox is expandable. Change:
    outerBox.Add(hbox1, 1, wx.ALL, 5)
to
    outerBox.Add(hbox1, 1, wx.EXPAND|wx.ALL, 5)

John,

   No. I played with that and it looks ugly.

   outerBox.Add(hbox1, 1, wx.ALL, 5)
to
   outerBox.Add(hbox1, 1, wx.EXPAND|wx.ALL, 5)

   Oops! Guess the coffee had not reached full titer in the bloodstream that
early in the morning.

Many thanks,

Rich
