[wxPython-users] Setting wx.Grid Widget Size

[Christopher Barker]

Rich,

It would help if you posted a bit more code. Ideally, make a small, 
stand-alone sample that puts your modData object and button and all in a 
Frame and shows it -- then we can see what you're doing and test it.

That gets you closer, but If I am guessing right about what you are 
doing (more code would help....). It sounds like you are putting self in 
a sizer, then setting the sizer on self -- that's not going to work. 
It's a hierarchy. I think you want something like this:

class modDataPanel(wx.Panel):
     def __init__(......)
         wx.Panel.__init__(....)

         self.modgrid = modData(self,.....)
         self.SaveButton = wx.Button(self, .....)
         self.SaveButton.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON,
         sizer = wx.Sizer(wx.VERTICAL)

         sizer.Add(self.modgrid, .....)
         sizer.Add(self.SaveButton, ....)

         self.SetSizer(sizer)


In short -- if you want to put both a Grid and a Button on something, 
you put them on Panel -- a Grid can't put a Button on itself. (at least 
not the way you want it)
