wxpython - wx.GridBagSizer + wx.StaticBoxSizer: How to automate span calculation -
i have following following window generated using function called createstaticboxsizer staticbox3 contains empty spaces @ end of dont want to.
i contain no empty space. noticed if put span staticbox3 7 gives result want automate process of generating span opposed hard-coding it:
the code uses span based on number of items creates, if creates 8 items within boxsizer, uses span of 8.
i can't understand why wrong can please clarify? should span corresponding to?
also staticbox::4 intruding on row of staticbox::1 why doesn't expand staticbox::3 does?
the code generate follows:
import wx import wx.lib.inspection class myregion(wx.frame): = 0 def __init__(self, parent): wx.frame.__init__(self, parent, title="my region") gridsizer = wx.gridbagsizer() gridsizer.add(self.createstaticboxsizer(4), pos=(0,0), span=(4,1), flag=wx.expand) gridsizer.add(self.createstaticboxsizer(4), pos=(4,0), span=(4,1), flag=wx.expand) gridsizer.add(self.createstaticboxsizer(4), pos=(0,1), span=(4,1), flag=wx.expand) gridsizer.add(self.createstaticboxsizer(8), pos=(0,2), span=(8,1), flag=wx.expand) gridsizer.add(self.createstaticboxsizer(6), pos=(0,3), span=(6,1), flag=wx.expand) self.setsizer(gridsizer) def createstaticboxsizer(self, x=4): box = wx.staticbox(parent=self, label="staticbox::" + str(myregion.i)) myregion.i += 1 sz = wx.staticboxsizer(orient=wx.vertical, box=box) in range(x): sz.add(wx.statictext(parent=sz.getstaticbox(), label="this window child of staticbox")) return sz if __name__ == "__main__": app = wx.app() frame = myregion(none) frame.show() wx.lib.inspection.inspectiontool().show() app.mainloop()
your sizer #3 has row span of 8, has same height of sum of sizers #0 , #1, , results in gap 2 sizers have 2 labels take more vertical space one.
there ways make work wxgridbagsizer imo sizer should (almost) never used anyhow. kind of normal layout should use wxflexgridsizer , wxboxsizer instead.
