wx.FileDialog for open file cannot be resizable by user.

when I create a new dialog to open a new file with fileDialog its always full screen and cannot be resizable by end user.

What platform? Does the wxDemo work? It works for me on windows 7,10 and Linux. Maybe you need to show some code.

wx demo works fine but its same. When an filedialog pops up its always ullcreen with no way to resize it.
I am using this on winodows7. file dialog cannot be resized with the code below:

I use something as:

dlg = wx.FileDialog(self, "Open file", "", "", "files (*.*)|*.*", style=wx.OPEN )
dlg.Center()

if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_CANCEL:
    dlg.Destroy()
else:
    print dlg.GetPath()

Can you try with the latest wxPython?

Thank you.

I am using
wxPython3.0-win32-py27
32-bit Python 2.7
can you share a code piece to set its size? I have tried a few examples I found from internet but none of them did work.
in wxpython website I checked this is still the latest version.

You should be able to add size = (200,200) but I doubt that’s going to help. What size is your screen? Not that I believe that is the problem. Although if the screen resolution is small enough I guess it could be a problem.

Looking for needles in a hay stack at this point. If you create a frame/window can you resize it?

Try starting the app from a command prompt - maybe there is some sort of error message that will appear.

screen resolution is 1920x1080. I run from command line and there is no output as error, size parameter below also did not work. no error but the open file dialog is still fullscreen with no ability to resize.
My main window can be resized, its a wx.Frame and it has all minimize maximize and close buttons. also I can resize it by dragging from borders.

I’m sorry but I’m out of solutions. I have used the file dialog on so many different computers over many years - all without this issue. I’d try re-installing everything (including python). You are saying the demo does the same thing (full screen) so it’s not your code. I hope someone else can help!

My guess is this has nothing to do with wxPython, but simply a preference in your Windows registry. wx.FileDialog uses the native file dialog, so it shows whatever Windows 7 would use for any application.

This answer might explain how you might try to change your registry back to how you want it, if my guess is right.

I tried a couple of times to recreate what you describe using the
wxPython Demo, python 2.7, and wxPython 3.0.2.0 without success.
Then, I double-clicked the File Dialog window header and the window
maximized to full screen and I could not resize it. Double-clicking
in the window header de-maximized the window, restoring it to its
original size and allowing resizability. Could it be that simple?

thanks for the double clicking idea David. I was not expecting this! It actually resized the window. (to be honest I feel embarrassed)

I don’t know why it was maximized even when I tried giving specific size and position during initialize.

Any way I guess its a user setting stored in registry or somewhere to start maximized for that dialog as “Che M” suggested.

Its up to me to find that out where that is in registry now.

thanks you guys all for the help! I was obsessed with this and now I can continue!
