[wxPython-users] newbie question on auto sizing

[Christopher Barker]

NOTE:

In general, it's better to enclose code, rather than inlining it -- =

mailers tend to mangle whitespace.

I've enclosed a version that works. I changed a bunch of minor stuff =

(much of it for style, really), but the big change is that it creates =

the sizer, then add the buttons, then calls panel.SetSizerAndFit(Sizer).

You could probably have done it the way you originally had it, if you =

had called self.panel.Fit() after adding the buttons.

Note that I got rid of your explicit size for the buttons -- that's what =

sizers are for!
