Summary: Maximize eats controls

Initial Comment:

----------
First of all sorry for my English and grama. I’m not
sure where to place this and I know that CVS is “under
work”, but I have noticed something strange regarding
Maximize for wxFrame. 

I have recompiled my project that was working on
wx2.6.3 to CVS build wx2.7.0 from 07/08/2006. I must
tell you that I didn’t have any problems with wx2.6.3,
but I wanted to see how wx2.7.0 is performing. And it
appears that there is a problem with displaying
controls or sizers. It seams that Maximize is doing
something wrong (deleting/hiding/changing) with sizers
or controls. I know that I can close Maximize between
Show/Hide and problem will disappears, but this
solution will damage message dialogs (like wxBusyInfo
displayed on background). It is not a big problem
because I’m still using wx2.6.3, but I just wanted to
point to possible problem.

What is happening:
I have created the main view frame using wxBoxSizers
and three wxPanels. One is placed at top of frame, rest
is placed horizontally in bottom part of frame. When I
display main frame top wxPanel disappears. Putting
wxBoxSizer::Fit() farther in the code shows that top
panel or sizer is not present. It seams that I have
only two horizontal panels.

I’m using:
-	wxWidgets 2.7.0 CVS from 07/08/2006 static build with
Microsoft Visual C++ ToolKit
-	Windows XP SP2 with XP look
-	Code::Blocks IDE

Full source code with working binaries (compressed with
UPX):

Example on wrong behaviour (frame constructor):

MainFrame::MainFrame(wxWindow* parent,wxWindowID id)
{
    m_close = false;
	//(*Initialize(MainFrame)
	Create(parent,id,_("evs"),wxDefaultPosition,wxDefaultSize,wxRESIZE_BORDER,_T(""));
	BoxSizer1 = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
	BoxSizer2 = new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL);
	Panel2 = new
wxPanel(this,ID_PANEL2,wxDefaultPosition,wxDefaultSize,0,_("ID_PANEL2"));
	BoxSizer4 = new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL);
	MenuButton = new
wxButton(Panel2,ID_MENUBUTTON,_("Menu"),wxDefaultPosition,wxSize(-1,20),0,wxDefaultValidator,_("ID_MENUBUTTON"));
	if (false) MenuButton->SetDefault();
	CurrentTime = new
wxStaticText(Panel2,ID_CURRENTTIME,_("00:00:00
00/00/0000"),wxDefaultPosition,wxDefaultSize,wxALIGN_RIGHT,_("ID_CURRENTTIME"));
	BoxSizer4->Add(MenuButton,0,wxLEFT|wxRIGHT|wxALIGN_CENTER,3);
	BoxSizer4->Add(-1,-1,1);
	BoxSizer4->Add(CurrentTime,0,wxLEFT|wxRIGHT|wxALIGN_CENTER,3);
	Panel2->SetSizer(BoxSizer4);
	BoxSizer4->Fit(Panel2);
	BoxSizer4->SetSizeHints(Panel2);
	BoxSizer2->Add(Panel2,1,wxALL|wxALIGN_LEFT|wxALIGN_TOP|wxEXPAND,0);
	BoxSizer3 = new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL);
	view = new ViewPanel(this);
	Panel1 = new
wxPanel(this,ID_PANEL1,wxDefaultPosition,wxDefaultSize,0,_("ID_PANEL1"));
	BoxSizer5 = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
	StaticText2 = new
wxStaticText(Panel1,ID_STATICTEXT2,_("i\nc\no\cn\ns"),wxDefaultPosition,wxDefaultSize,wxALIGN_CENTRE,_("ID_STATICTEXT2"));
	BoxSizer5->Add(-1,-1,1);
	BoxSizer5->Add(StaticText2,0,wxALL|wxALIGN_LEFT|wxALIGN_TOP|wxEXPAND,0);
	BoxSizer5->Add(-1,-1,1);
	Panel1->SetSizer(BoxSizer5);
	BoxSizer5->Fit(Panel1);
	BoxSizer5->SetSizeHints(Panel1);
	BoxSizer3->Add(view,0,wxALL|wxALIGN_LEFT|wxALIGN_TOP,0);
	BoxSizer3->Add(Panel1,1,wxALL|wxALIGN_LEFT|wxALIGN_TOP|wxEXPAND,0);
	BoxSizer1->Add(BoxSizer2,1,wxALL|wxALIGN_LEFT|wxALIGN_TOP|wxEXPAND,0);
	BoxSizer1->Add(BoxSizer3,0,wxALL|wxALIGN_LEFT|wxALIGN_TOP|wxEXPAND,0);
	this->SetSizer(BoxSizer1);
	BoxSizer1->Fit(this);
	BoxSizer1->SetSizeHints(this);
	//*)

    //*  Activate current time  *//
    wxDateTime now = wxDateTime::Now();
    CurrentTime->SetLabel(now.Format(_T("%X %x")));
	wxTimer *t = new wxTimer(this,ID_CLOCKTIMER);
	t->Start(1000);
	BoxSizer1->Fit(this);

    //  This should put window into fullscreen mode
(toplevel,no caption,no resize). For test it is just
maximized.
	Maximize(true);		//  This line is removing top panel
from view. 
	/* Solution for it is to replace upper line with:
	Show();
	Maximize(true);
	Hide();
	*/

	CreateMenus();
}
