wxpython rearrange bitmap on resize and flickering

I have this wxpython code, where I am display images along with text. I am using flexgridsizer. I want when I resize the window, images should reshuffle as per the size like if there is more room than the column/row should expand, also I see flicker while regenerating images.

Please suggest if there is anyother better way to do this

python 2.7.x , wxpython 2.8.11.0

import wx

ID_MENU_REFRESH = wx.NewId()

#dummy description of image

imglist =[‘One’,‘Two’,‘Three’,‘Four’,‘Five’,‘Six’,‘Seven’,‘Eight’,‘Nine’,‘Ten’]

class Example(wx.Frame):

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

    super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) 

    mb = wx.MenuBar()

    fMenu = wx.Menu()

    fMenu.Append(ID_MENU_REFRESH, 'Refresh')

    mb.Append(fMenu, '&Action')

    self.SetMenuBar(mb)

    self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.refreshApps, id=ID_MENU_REFRESH) 

    #storing the thumb image in memory

    self.bmp=wx.Image('img/myimg.png', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG).ConvertToBitmap()

    self.panelOne = wx.Panel(self)        

    sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)

    self.panelOne.SetSizer(sizer)

    self.panelOne.Layout()

    self.myimg_holder={}

    self.showThumb(imglist)

    self.SetTitle('Example')

    self.Centre()

    self.Show(True)

    

def refreshApps(self,event=None):

    #remove 

    self.showThumb()

    #repaint

    self.showThumb(imglist)

    

def showThumb(self,thumblist=None):



    

    if not thumblist:

        for child in self.panelOne.GetChildren(): 

            child.Destroy() 

        self.myimg_holder.clear()

        self.panelOne.Layout()

        return 

    

    vbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

    hbox = wx.BoxSizer()

    gs = wx.FlexGridSizer(8, 6, 10, 20)

    #blank text holder for padding

    gs.Add(wx.StaticText(self.panelOne),flag=wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, border=2)

        vzis[num].Add(appid,0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER)

        self.myimg_holder[appid]=app

        vzis[num].Add(wx.StaticText(self.panelOne,-1,app),0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER,border=1)

    for i in range(len(thumblist)):

        if i in [4,8,12]:

            gs.Add(wx.StaticText(self.panelOne),flag=wx.ALL, border=2)

            gs.Add(vzis[i],flag=wx.ALL, border=1)

        else:
