Hello, I'm trying to understand how wxNotebook works for automaitc sizing.
I developed a subclass of wxPanel with an add method that dynamically adds controls using a RowColSizer.
If I use it directly in a window I got no problem, using sizers I obtain exactly what I want.
Problems arise when I want to put that panel in a wxNotebook. The notebook keeps its standard size.
Well I nver worked with notebooks.
The problem, to state it in another way is:
I need to add a variable number of controls inside a tab, therefore I don't know the size of the notebook in advance. How can I resize it? I don't need to add controls at runtime, just once.

If you put the notebook in a wxNotebookSizer then it will query the sizers on all the pages to determine the minimum size that the notebook should be. Then if you put it in an enclosing sizer or whatever then the notebook and its contents will be treated more as expected.

Thanks! I was making a silly error: not adding the notebooksizer to the
"global" sizer, but the notebook itself
As already noted several times on this list, Robin is doing really an
amazing work!
