splitter in notebook

[Matt Connolly]

I had a similar problem.

It seems to me that any wxWindow added to a Frame (or top level  
window) automagically sizes to fill the frame, but any (sub)windows  
(this terminology still confuses me) added to a window that's in a  
frame don't get resized.

I thought wxSizer's might have done the trick, but I wanted to centre  
something in the window (vertically and horizontally), and wxBoxSizer  
does one or the other, not both.

I ended up adding a size event handler and writing my own code to  
resize the views within my window (within my frame):

EVT_SIZE( MyWindow::HandleResize )
...
void MyWindow::HandleResize( wxSizeEvent& event )
{
...
}

You can probably achieve what you want with a "wxBoxSizer".

Best,
Matt
