 Unfortunately (2) is not currently possible (just as with your other
questions, there is a pending patch which does make it possible but it's
for 2.9 only). So right now you should fiddle with the return value of your
DoGetBestSize() to add wxSystemSettings::GetMetric(wxSYS_VSCROLL_X) to
leave enough space for the automatically shown scrollbar if necessary. This
is rather ugly and I'd really like to allow people implementing just some
DoGetBestClientSize() and dealing with the scrollbars automatically but
we still haven't had time to do it...
