A vertical box sizer is one that stacks the items vertically, and a 
horizontal box sizer stacks the items horizontally.  In the diagram the 
two blue boxes are stacked vertically, and the three pink boxes are 
arraigned in a horizontal "stack".  Does that help?

I recommend that you play with layouts in one of the wx visual design 
tools that are available, such as XRCed.  That really helps a lot with 
the basic understanding of how things are related to each other.
