[wxPython-users] Another sizer question

[Alun Griffiths]

Christopher

tried both hints but the problem is still 
there.  PlotFrame.__init__() also sets a sizer - is the problem that 
there is some interference between the sizers?

I added

self.SetMinSize((320,100))

to PlotFrame.__init__() but that did not help either.  Still not sure 
why I meed to do this - WxPIA (p335) says "If the control is created 
with a size explicitly set, that size overrides the control's default 
calculation of its best minimum size".  So if I define the size 
explicitly during the call to __init__ (which I do), doesn't this 
mean that I don't need to bother with SetMinSize?

Nope, that didn't solve the problem either, but thanks for the hint!
