AW: Again, sorry...Sizer Problem *SIGH*

[JT]

Hi Sergei,

Yes, there are some flags to set or unset in wxWidgets like wxGrow and
wxADJUST_MINIMAL_SIZE a.s.o., but this is exactly my problem. I cant figure
out which one do what and when. :-) There is a good tutorial explaining a
lot...but i am still confused.

Greetings
Jörg
