Resizing VListBox on parent (wxPython)

I hava a hierarhical sizer layout in which there's a panel in the upper
part of a window with some buttons, and another panel with wxVListBox
that's meant to occupy all the remaining space in the window. Both
panels are put inside a vertical BoxSizer, and the VListBox in its panel
is also in BoxSizer.

The hierarchy is like this:

- window, vertical BoxSizer
- panel, horizontal BoxSizer
- some buttons
- panel, vertical BoxSizer
- a single VListBox

(the VListBox is alone in its panel for "future compatibility" - I plan
to add more controls to the panel)

I want the lower panel and the VListBox to automatically resize and fill
all the remaining space in the window. I can get this to work in the
horizontal direction by default, but not in vertical. When I set the
vertical size of VListBox to -1, it only displays one line; I can set it
to a fixed vertical size, but I really need it to adapt its size to that
of the window (something like "Center" layout option in Java BorderLayout).

(The items in VListBox are generated at program runtime, and are not
available during window controls creation stage)

Can somebody explain why is this happening and how to do what I want? I
have almost no experience in wxWindows.

Forgot to mention it - I'm using wx.GROW flag on both of them.

I have some old code that I use from the Access 95 Developers handbook. The code works very well, with the exception that it doesn't seem to recognize wide screens, and sizes tab controls so that they are too big and wind up covering up some of the fields on the main form. Is there any good code out there that works in a similar fashion that will also either a) stretch the form width wise on widescreens or b), rely on height rather than...

I've seen several posts from people who have seen this flashing in TreeView's when resizing a form. I've noticed it in my app, but only in the child windows. For example, my main form has a splitter with a TreeView and I do not get the flickering with it. I created a new Form based Windows app. Added a TreeView (dock left), then a splitter and a property grid on the right (dock fill). For this test, I added a panel and button at the...

I'm writing a new control derived from UserControl. I need to get an event when the control is done resizing. I tried the Resize, SizeChanged, Move and the Layout events and I also tried to override them. But they all invoked when the control is in the middle of the resizing process. I'm not using breakpoints, I'm using trace to see which one is invoked and when.

Hi Diez & All, Do you mind explaining "why" you find it *buttugly*? I am asking just out of curiosity, obviously. I am so biased towards wxPython that I won't make any comment on this thread in particular, but I am curious to know why some people find it "ugly" or "bad" or whatever. It has its own bugs and missing features, of course, but it is one of the major GUI player in the arena, together with PyQt and PyGTK.

Ok, I've been going through these tutorials for both PyGame and wxPython, but I've hit a big speed bump. In each tutorial, I've gotten to the point where I need to "import" or "load" images for various purposes (animation, icons, etc.). Each time I follow the tutorial, I can't quite get it right... please don't tell me "Hey, you can't use the pictures in the tutorial example because those are not the directories, paths, or pics that are on your ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
