Take a look at your desired layout and decompose it into boxes within =

boxes, as in the attached, where each box in the decomposition contains =

either another set of boxes, or a single widget.  If you then work from =

the outside-in you can see that first we have two boxes arranged =

vertically (the bluish ones) and within one of those boxes we have three =

arranged horizontally (the pinkish ones) and each of those has a set of =

greenish boxes arranged vertically.

Translating that into sizer-speak, we have:

blue: A vertical box sizer that has items that are a static text and a =

sizer (pink).

pink: A horizontal box sizer that contains three sizers (the greens)

green1: A vertical static box sizer containing the checkbox widgets

green2 and green3: Each is a vertical box sizer containing a static text =

and a combobox widget.
