Make wxListCtrl fit around contents and parent frame fit around listctrl

Hello,
I am working on a graphical MySQL Frontend written in python/wxPython.
The results from a table query are displayed either in a wxGrid or in
a wxListCtrl. I would prefer the latter because it underlines the
read-only character of the data, but I am not happy with the way the
results are displayed.
The wxGrid with the results is laid out by the following code:
resultsFrame = wxFrame(parent,-1,title)
resultsTable = wxGrid(resultsF rame,-1)
#populate grid with results...
resultsTable.Fi t()
sizer = wxBoxSizer(wxVE RTICAL)
sizer.Add(resul tsTable,1,wxEXP AND)
resultsFrame.Se tSizer(sizer)
resultsFrame.Se tAutoLayout(Tru e)
sizer.Fit(resul tsFrame)
resultsFrame.Sh ow(True)
This ensures that each column of the grid is adjusted to fit the
longest cell and that the wxFrame fits around the grid. However, I
have not found a way to achieve the same results for a wxListCtrl
despite trying several combinations of .Fit()-functions. For example,
the following code
resultsFrame = wxFrame(parent,-1,title)
resultsList = wxListCtrl(resu ltsFrame,-1,style =
wxLC_REPORT|wxL C_VRULES|wxLC_H RULES)
#populate wxListCtrl
resultsList.Fit ()
resultsList.Ens ureVisible(True )
resultsList.Set ColumnWidth(-1,-1)
sizer = wxBoxSizer(wxVE RTICAL)
sizer.Add(resul tsList,1,wxEXPA ND)
resultsFrame.Se tSizer(sizer)
resultsFrame.Se tAutoLayout(Tru e)
sizer.Fit(resul tsFrame)
resultsFrame.Fi t()
resultsFrame.Sh ow(True)
always generates a Frame of the same size, regardless of the length
and width of the listctrl. I have checked the wxListCtrl
documentation, but I couldn't find the information I was looking for.
Does anyboy know how to format a wxListCtrl that displays all of its
information without scrolling and/or resizing columns?
THanks in advance
Piet

Hi, I am new to pogramming. I have written a small program which retrieves emails from server, unless all the messages are loaded only then it displays on screen properlely. Whole thing works fine if I use events to activate logMail() after start but I don't know how to activate an event at the start (witout pressing mouse or menu key) as I want this to load messages at the start of the program.

Hi there. I am trying to display tabular data in a wxListCtrl. What I get from the script below are only the headers, not the items themselves.

I am sure the solution is only one step away, but I need somebody to point in the direction. Heres the script: from wxPython.wx import * class...

Hello. I am working on an XML editor that will not display the xml file as plain text, but will rather work with a combination of a tree view for the main element nodes and some kind of tabular view to view attributes. By this way, the user (i.e. me) will only have the opportunity to change textual contents and attribute values, but neither element nor attribute names. Building the tree view was not a problem, but I haven´t found a good...
