Why not make this a toolbar and have the frame manage it.

What about using a flexgridsizer for this.

My actual setup is actually a frame, with a menubar, a statusbar and a 
splitterwindow.  The left side panel in the splitter allows the user to 
select the graph to be displayed and appropriate filters.  The graph is 
selected with a combobox, when one selects the graph I clear the figure 
(in the right side panel) and recalculate the graph/plot with the new 
default values.  My graphs are pretty simple so the calc is done in less 
then a second.

If you are still stuck maybe post a small runable sample.
