Hi -
I have an application that requires a combo box in some situations, and a text control in others. What I’d like is to be able to switch the controls from my application, but all my attempts at this place the replacement control top-left of the parent, instead of where the original control was.
What is the best way to do this?
Cheers!
Greg Fawcett.

You have probably forgotten to add the new item to the proper sizer.
What I have done in the past is to add the two controls at the same
time (if you are using a grid sizer, add a little box sizer with both
controls in it), then depending on which one I want to see, .Show(1)
on the one I want to see, .Show(0) on the one I don't, then .Layout()
on the parent to force a layout. From there it's just logic to decide
which control you want to get data from.

Thanks - I tried putting both in a sizer early on, but didn’t have the Layout() call. Later I tried the Layout() call, but was calling it on the frame, not the panel the controls were on, and by that stage I had got rid of the sizer and was trying to replace objects directly. Easy when you know how!
