Chris,

That's what I originally had, but in trying to simplify as much as possible
found it didn't make any difference.  Here's my attempt using a panel
(@panel is an instance variable):


    @panel =3D Panel.new(self, -1)

    lr_sizer =3D BoxSizer.new( HORIZONTAL )

    txt =3D StaticText.new(@panel, -1, "Text Left")

    static_box =3D StaticBox.new(@panel, -1, "Static Box", :size =3D> [100,=
 40]
)
    right_sizer =3D StaticBoxSizer.new( static_box, VERTICAL)
    static_box.set_min_size([ 100, 40 ])

    lr_sizer.add(txt, 1, EXPAND | ALL, 4)
    lr_sizer.add(right_sizer, 0, EXPAND | ALL, 4)

    @panel.set_sizer(lr_sizer)
    layout()

This gives an identical result as described before.  Am I missing something
else?  I have played with various permutations of SetSizeHints() and Fit(),
but nothing seems to do what I want.
