Eli,

Did you see a posting earlier I sent about using assigning a variable from
wx.xrc using XRCCTRL?  The type is wxHtmlWindow however it is saying it is
of type wxScrollableWindow.  I seen previous posts that this was a bug, but
that was back in 2.7, I'm running 2.8.1.  I think I can use wxPyTypeCast()
for now, but is there something wrong I'm doing?

You can't resize a dialog, you'll need a frame for that.
Other than that the attached XRC should be about what you want.

The main thing you to realize is that you can and should create 
alignments using BoxSizer's one within the other. The other thing that 
seems to keep people confused is the difference between wxEXPAND and 
option = 1.

Here's a simple explanations that might help:

"option = 1" will grow your control in the same orientation as the 
sizer. If the sizer is horizontal, it will grow horizontally. If it is 
vertical, it will grow vertically.

wxEXPAND will grow you control in the perpendicular direction to the 
direction of the sizer. For a horizontal sizer it will grow your control 
vertically. For a vertical sizer, it will grow the control horizontally.

Also, when you show your frame (using the biohazard button), if you 
click on the sizers and controls on a tree, you should see a red frame 
around them. That should help debug these things.

Hope it works out. XRCed is really nice when you get the hang of it.
