wxPython Pheonix TextCtrl Widget not changing size

wxPython Users

Recently did an upgrade to my debian distribution to debian jesse

I notice my GUI program which I wrote in wxpython 2.8 was not displaying propery in wxpython3.0

Specifically, the text control box and button was not the same size. To add to this, I attempt to change the size of the mentioned widgets but it remained. the same.

Just to check if I am sane

I created two input box in a frame as follows:

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self,title, pos, size):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, -1, title, pos, size)
        self.input_box_search=wx.TextCtrl(self,-1,pos=(90,13),size=(400,80),style=wx.BORDER_NONE)
        self.input_box_search1=wx.TextCtrl(self,-1,pos=(90,103),size=(400,40),style=wx.BORDER_NONE)

The two TextCtrl boxes had the same size!
the picture shows how two textctrl boxes of different size are displayed in wxpython3.0

Note: using wxpython2.8, each box size displayed correctly.

Any suggestions?

I am using No box sizers…the window frame is
fixed with widgets have fixed position…I am using wxpython3.0.3…when i execute “wx.version()” in python2.7 shell i got
“wx.version() ‘3.0.1.1 gtk2 (classic)’”

I found a workaround to my solution…I placed the textctrl box in a box sizer and place the boxsizer in a small panel and everything was perfect!
