1 | \section{\class{wxSizer}}\label{wxsizer} |
2 | ||
7e9a386e | 3 | wxSizer is the abstract base class used for laying out subwindows in a window. You |
3baaf313 VZ |
4 | cannot use wxSizer directly; instead, you will have to use one of the sizer |
5 | classes derived from it. Currently there are \helpref{wxBoxSizer}{wxboxsizer}, | |
6 | \helpref{wxStaticBoxSizer}{wxstaticboxsizer}, | |
c6eb7785 | 7 | \helpref{wxGridSizer}{wxgridsizer} |
b19d7524 | 8 | \helpref{wxFlexGridSizer}{wxflexgridsizer} and \helpref{wxGridBagSizer}{wxgridbagsizer}. |

fc2171bd | 10 | The layout algorithm used by sizers in wxWidgets is closely related to layout |
515da557 RR |
11 | in other GUI toolkits, such as Java's AWT, the GTK toolkit or the Qt toolkit. It is |
12 | based upon the idea of the individual subwindows reporting their minimal required | |
13 | size and their ability to get stretched if the size of the parent window has changed. | |
749bb9f1 DS |
14 | This will most often mean that the programmer does not set the original size of |
15 | a dialog in the beginning, rather the dialog will be assigned a sizer and this sizer | |
1193d8fa RR |
16 | will be queried about the recommended size. The sizer in turn will query its |
17 | children, which can be normal windows, empty space or other sizers, so that | |
18 | a hierarchy of sizers can be constructed. Note that wxSizer does not derive from wxWindow | |
749bb9f1 | 19 | and thus does not interfere with tab ordering and requires very little resources compared |
515da557 RR |
20 | to a real window on screen. |
21 | ||
fc2171bd | 22 | What makes sizers so well fitted for use in wxWidgets is the fact that every control |
515da557 RR |
23 | reports its own minimal size and the algorithm can handle differences in font sizes |
24 | or different window (dialog item) sizes on different platforms without problems. If e.g. | |
25 | the standard font as well as the overall design of Motif widgets requires more space than | |
f6bcfd97 | 26 | on Windows, the initial dialog size will automatically be bigger on Motif than on Windows. |

28 | Sizers may also be used to control the layout of custom drawn items on the window. The |
29 | Add, Insert, and Prepend functions return a pointer to the newly added wxSizerItem. Just | |
30 | add empty space of the desired size and attributes, and then use the wxSizerItem::GetRect | |
31 | method to determine where the drawing operations should take place. | |

34 | Please notice that sizers, like child windows, are owned by the library and |
35 | will be deleted by it which implies that they must be allocated on the heap. | |
36 | However if you create a sizer and do not add it to another sizer or window, the | |
37 | library wouldn't be able to delete such an orphan sizer and in this, and only | |
38 | this, case it should be deleted explicitly. | |

87 | Appends a child to the sizer. wxSizer itself is an abstract class, but the parameters are |
88 | equivalent in the derived classes that you will instantiate to use it so they are described | |
89 | here: | |
8fe05782 | 90 | |
4130b487 RR |
91 | \docparam{window}{The window to be added to the sizer. Its initial size (either set explicitly by the |
92 | user or calculated internally when using wxDefaultSize) is interpreted as the minimal and in many | |
fd52f255 | 93 | cases also the initial size.} |
4130b487 RR |
94 | |
95 | \docparam{sizer}{The (child-)sizer to be added to the sizer. This allows placing a child sizer in a | |
96 | sizer and thus to create hierarchies of sizers (typically a vertical box as the top sizer and several | |
97 | horizontal boxes on the level beneath).} | |
98 | ||
99 | \docparam{width and height}{The dimension of a spacer to be added to the sizer. Adding spacers to sizers | |
2edb0bde | 100 | gives more flexibility in the design of dialogs; imagine for example a horizontal box with two buttons at the |
4130b487 | 101 | bottom of a dialog: you might want to insert a space between the two buttons and make that space stretchable |
e3950b18 | 102 | using the \arg{proportion} flag and the result will be that the left button will be aligned with the left |
4130b487 RR |
103 | side of the dialog and the right button with the right side - the space in between will shrink and grow with |
104 | the dialog.} | |
105 | ||
2b5f62a0 | 106 | \docparam{proportion}{Although the meaning of this parameter is undefined in wxSizer, it is used in wxBoxSizer |
a6f3598d | 107 | to indicate if a child of a sizer can change its size in the main orientation of the wxBoxSizer - where |
2edb0bde | 108 | 0 stands for not changeable and a value of more than zero is interpreted relative to the value of other |
f6bcfd97 BP |
109 | children of the same wxBoxSizer. For example, you might have a horizontal wxBoxSizer with three children, two |
110 | of which are supposed to change their size with the sizer. Then the two stretchable windows would get a | |
fc9c7c09 | 111 | value of 1 each to make them grow and shrink equally with the sizer's horizontal dimension.} |
a6f3598d | 112 | |
caa251e0 RD |
113 | \docparam{flag}{This parameter can be used to set a number of flags |
114 | which can be combined using the binary OR operator |. Two main | |
115 | behaviours are defined using these flags. One is the border around a | |
e3950b18 | 116 | window: the \arg{border} parameter determines the border width whereas |
caa251e0 RD |
117 | the flags given here determine which side(s) of the item that the |
118 | border will be added. The other flags determine how the sizer item | |
119 | behaves when the space allotted to the sizer changes, and is somewhat | |
120 | dependent on the specific kind of sizer used. | |

e3950b18 VZ |
203 | Detach a child from the sizer without destroying it. \arg{window} is the window to be |
204 | detached, \arg{sizer} is the equivalent sizer and \arg{index} is the position of | |
00976fe5 RL |
205 | the child in the sizer, typically 0 for the first item. This method does not |

542 | Normally, when you add an item to a sizer via |
543 | \helpref{wxSizer::Add}{wxsizeradd}, you have to specify a lot of flags and | |
544 | parameters which can be unwieldy. This is where wxSizerFlags comes in: it | |
545 | allows you to specify all parameters using the named methods instead. For | |
546 | example, instead of | |
40210d8a | 547 | |
62637495 VZ |
548 | \begin{verbatim} |
549 | sizer->Add(ctrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxBORDER, 10); | |
550 | \end{verbatim} | |
2a3c8b65 | 551 | |
62637495 | 552 | you can now write |
2a3c8b65 | 553 | |
62637495 VZ |
554 | \begin{verbatim} |
555 | sizer->Add(ctrl, wxSizerFlags().Expand().Border(10)); | |
556 | \end{verbatim} | |
557 | ||
558 | This is more readable and also allows you to create wxSizerFlags objects which | |
559 | can be reused for several sizer items. | |
560 | \begin{verbatim} | |
561 | wxSizerFlags flagsExpand(1); | |
562 | flagsExpand.Expand().Border(10); | |
563 | ||
564 | sizer->Add(ctrl1, flagsExpand); | |
565 | sizer->Add(ctrl2, flagsExpand); | |
566 | \end{verbatim} | |
567 | ||
568 | Note that by specification, all methods of wxSizerFlags return the wxSizerFlags | |
569 | object itself to allowing chaining multiple methods calls like in the examples | |
