gridSizer inside a panel element

[Gandalf]

why when I try to insert gridSizer to a panel which already inside
another panel the gridSizer doesn't work?

this is the code:

panel3= wx.Panel(self, -1, (0, 60), size=(400, 240) ,
style=wx.SIMPLE _BORDER);
panel3.SetBackg roundColour('#d adadb')
panel = wx.Panel(panel3 , wx.ID_ANY, style=wx.SIMPLE _BORDER,
size=(150, 60))
panel.SetBackgr oundColour("#ff fFFF")

bmp = wx.ArtProvider. GetBitmap(wx.AR T_TIP, wx.ART_OTHER, (16,
16))
inputIco = wx.StaticBitmap (panel, wx.ID_ANY, bmp)

labelThree= wx.StaticText(p anel, wx.ID_ANY, 'Hello')

label2=wx.Stati cText(panel, wx.ID_ANY, 'Pease, Quite, Hello, Shalom')
topSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx. VERTICAL)
gridSizer = wx.GridSizer(ro ws=2, cols=1, hgap=5, vgap=5)
input = wx.BoxSizer(wx. HORIZONTAL)
output = wx.BoxSizer(wx. HORIZONTAL)
input.Add((20,2 0), 1, wx.EXPAND) # this is a spacer
input.Add(input Ico, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
input.Add(label Three, 0, wx.ALL|wx.ALIGN _CENTER_VERTICA L, 5)

output.Add((20, 20), 1, wx.EXPAND) # this is a spacer

output.Add(labe l2, 0, wx.ALL|wx.ALIGN _CENTER_VERTICA L, 5)

gridSizer.Add(i nput, 0, wx.ALIGN_LEFT)
gridSizer.Add(o utput, 0, wx.ALIGN_RIGHT)

topSizer.Add(gr idSizer, 0, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAN D, 5)
panel.SetSizer( topSizer)

I'm not sure you can just add sizers together like that. When I'm
doing this I'd make panels for each sub-sizer; so input and output
would be panels rather than the sizers themselves. For example
(untested):

grid = wx.Panel(panel, wx.ID_ANY)

input = wx.Panel(grid, wx.ID_ANY)
inputIco = wx.StaticBitmap (input, wx.ID_ANY, bmp)
labelThree= wx.StaticText(i nput, wx.ID_ANY, 'Hello')
sz = wx.BoxSizer(wx. HORIZONTAL)
sz.Add((20,20), 1, wx.EXPAND) # this is a spacer
sz.Add(inputIco , 0, wx.ALL, 5)
sz.Add(labelThr ee, 0, wx.ALL|wx.ALIGN _CENTER_VERTICA L, 5)
input.SetSizer( sz)

output = = wx.Panel(grid, wx.ID_ANY)
label2=wx.Stati cText(output, wx.ID_ANY, 'Pease, Quite, Hello, Shalom')
sz = wx.BoxSizer(wx. HORIZONTAL)
sz.Add((20,20), 1, wx.EXPAND) # this is a spacer
sz.Add(label2, 0, wx.ALL|wx.ALIGN _CENTER_VERTICA L, 5)
output.SetSizer (sz)

sz = wx.GridSizer(ro ws=2, cols=1, hgap=5, vgap=5)
sz.Add(input, 0, wx.ALIGN_LEFT)
sz.Add(output, 0, wx.ALIGN_RIGHT)
grid.SetSizer(s z)

sz = wx.BoxSizer(wx. VERTICAL)
sz.Add(grid, 0, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAN D, 5)
panel.SetSizer( sz)

I'm not sure how to do multiple panels like that. And I'm not really
sure what you're trying to achieve by doing that anyway. Regardless,
you should post these types of questions to the wxPython user's group
where they can tell you exactly what you need to know:

Nesting sizers is pretty common, at least it is over at the wxPython
user's group: http://wxpython.org/maillist.php

I do it all the time, myself.
