Hello Emilien,

A possible solution, which I am using is to capture EVT_SIZE event on
your frame and resize the required control to desired width.

Code Snippet

void CFrame::OnSize(wxSizeEvent& event)
{
        // calculate nDesiredWidth of the control ;
        m_ptrControl->SetSize(nDesiredWidth, -1);
	m_ptrToolBar->Realize();

	event.Skip();
}

I hope this helps.
