I often use Notebook to structure my GUIs. Sometimes I have to provide a
Settings page. Doing changes in this page influences other pages in such a
way, that some controls have to change add or remove children or even have
to be removed from the page at all.
Yet I could not come up with a solid pattern how to do this. I tried to call
DestroyChildren (), delete all ref's to them, and to set the page's sizer to
None. This doesn't work very well. When I rebuild the page, at least the
arrangement of the controls is not the same as before, which makes me think,
that other things will go wrong in the long run too.
For now I issue a dialog telling the user, that he has to restart the app -
not very professional looking...
So, how is this done best?
Kind regards

I use this technique with little issue (although I haven't tried it with
a wx.Notebook). One thing you might try is to use an extra wx.Panel as
a container for the entire page. So each page then would end up with a
single panel for the page, and each panel further containing *another*
single panel which contains your actual controls. This way you can
simply destroy the second panel and recreate it and the layout is simple
enough that you shouldn't run into problems with sizers getting
confused.

Cliff

I thought about an extra panel too, shouldn't be a problem with Notebook
either. So if this is how it is done, I'll go for it. Regards, Cliff
Many thanks for your quick reply!

I've been trying to learn wxPython and/or wax for a few weeks,

wxWindows seems to be more low-level than the other GUI

I'm trying to implement XHTML standards in my ASP.NET web pages but
whenever I use web controls I get problems because of the very strict
nature of W3C XHTML (transitional version is picky but strict1.1 very
severe!)
e.g. align="Center" fails validation because of the capital "C" - this
makes asp:Calendar control unuseable because it happens to use this
tag for each of the cells. Also Javascript tags require a 'type'
attribute...etc

Hi, I am looking for a tip. I have a panel and a checkbox. When I

If you have a simpler example, that is fine. I just need a hint as to

Hi all,
I am experiencing a strange thing happening with a "designer.vb" page. Controls I manually declare in this page are automatically deleted after I drop another control on a ".aspx" page.
- Why is this happening?
- Can I disable automatic declaration and have everything be declared manually?
- Any other options to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
