You can access a control after you add it to the GridBagSizer, the
problem is you are attempting to create the widgets all wrong.


import wx

class SizerFrame (wx.Frame):

	def __init__ (self):
		wx.Frame.__init__ (self,None, -1, 'Blocks')

		self.panel = wx.Panel ( self, -1 )
		self.sizer = wx.GridBagSizer ( 2, 2 )

		self.lblID = wx.StaticText(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, 'Block ID'),
		self.sizer.Add(self.lblID,  (1, 0) )

		self.txtID = wx.TextCtrl( self.panel, wx.ID_ANY)
		self.sizer.Add (self.txtID, (1, 1))

		self.lblName = wx.StaticText(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, 'Block Name')
		self.sizer.Add(self.lblName, ( 2, 0))

		self.txtID = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY)
		self.sizer.Add (self.txtID, ( 2,  ))

		self.lblBlockHead = wx.StaticText(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, 'Block Head')
		self.sizer.Add(self.lblBlockHead, ( 3, 0))

		self.txtBlockHead = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY)
		self.sizer.Add (self.txtBlockHead, ( 3, 1))

		self.CMDNew = wx.Button(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, 'New' )
		self.sizer.Add (self.CMDNew, ( 8, 0))

		self.CMDEdit = wx.Button(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, 'Edit ')
		self.sizer.Add (self.CMDEdit, ( 8, 1))

		self.CMDSave = wx.Button(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, 'Save' )
		self.sizer.Add (self.CMDSave, ( 8, 2))

		self.CMDDelete = wx.Button(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, 'Delete' )
		self.sizer.Add (self.CMDDelete, ( 8, 3))

		self.CMDClose = wx.Button (self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, 'Close' )
		self.sizer.Add (self.CMDClose, ( 8, 4))

                self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.closeme, self.CMDClose)

		self.panel.SetSizerAndFit(self.sizer)
		self.SetClientSize (self.panel.GetSize())
		self.CenterOnParent()
		self.Show()

	def closeme(self,event):
		self.Hide()


application = wx.PySimpleApp()
window = SizerFrame()
application.MainLoop()
