No joking here, he is one that asked "What is self?" I thought my question was 
so simple that a "runnable" example wouldn't be necessary (the solution was to 
add self.Refresh() to the frame that gets executed when the ExpandoCtrl needs 
resizing).  Next time I'll try to post a runnable example that demonstrates the 
problem..  Since this is maybe my 2nd wxPython program, I'm still learning a lot 
and I didn't have any idea who was asking.
