wxSizer: Define sizer hierarchie before putting controls in or vice versa?

[Piet]

Hello,
I have a short question about sizers and how they work when I have a
frame or panel with a complex sizer hierarchie. When creating a new
sizer which sits itself in its parent sizer, should I add the new
sizer to the parent sizer and then populate the new sizer with its
controls (some of them might be sizers on their own) or should I
populate the new sizer with all its controls before I add the new
sizer to its parent sizer? Or doesn´t it make any difference and all
the sizes and sizers are calculated anyways when the
wx.Window.SetSizer(wx.Sizer),wx.Window.SetAutoLayo ut(True) and
wx.Sizer.Fit(wx.Window) functions are run before before the window is
finally made visible?
Thanx in advance
Peter

In my experience, it doesn't make any difference. Perhaps there is a
minor performance advantage one way or the other, but not enough for me
to ever worry about.

I like to bunch everything together so its easier to see later.

#
self.linkpanel = wx.Panel(self.notebook,-1)
self.link_thing = LinkListCtrlPanel(self.linkpanel)
txtbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
txtbox.Add(self.link_thing, 2, wx.EXPAND)
self.linkpanel.SetSizer(txtbox)
self.linkpanel.SetAutoLayout(1)
txtbox.Fit(self.linkpanel)
self.notebook.AddPage(self.linkpanel, "Links")
