[wxPython] [Fwd: wx: Does constraints work within wxNotebook ??]

[Brendan_J_Simon1]

I’m forwarding this to the list again as it seemed to bounce. Sorry
if you get it twice

I’m using wxPython and can’t get contraints to work
with any window/control within a wxNotebook page.

It should be possible to have a wxNotebook page that contains other
windows/controls that are constrained in various ways, shouldn’t it ???
I have attatched a simple test program (bjs.py). Maybe I’m doing
something wrong.

The class MyFrame contains two lines to instantiate MyWindow and MyNotebook
classes. Uncomment the one to test to see the differences.

Thanks for any help,

Brendan Simon.

#   DESCRIPTION :   A python program to test wxConstraints.
#
#   NOTES       :   There are two classes used for testing.
#                   They are called MyWindow and MyNotebook.
#                   The class MyFrame instantiates these classes.
#                   Test them individually by uncommenting the desired object
#                   instance call in MyFrame.
#
#                   MyWindow should display 3 windows with position defined
#                   by the wxConstraint values.  This appears to work fine.
#
#                   MyNotebook should display a notebook with 2 windows
#                   within it.  I couldn't get the first window to resize
#                   to anything other than the height/width of the notebook
#                   page, so I decided to added another window with the page
#                   window, hoping that I could size that one via constraints.
#                   I STILL CAN'T GET IT TO WORK.  ARGGGGHHH!!!!
