3wxSizer is the abstract base class used for laying out subwindows in a window. You
4cannot use wxSizer directly; instead, you will have to use one of the sizer
5classes derived from it. Currently there are \helpref{wxBoxSizer}{wxboxsizer},
6\helpref{wxStaticBoxSizer}{wxstaticboxsizer},
7\helpref{wxGridSizer}{wxgridsizer}
8\helpref{wxFlexGridSizer}{wxflexgridsizer} and \helpref{wxGridBagSizer}{wxgridbagsizer}.
9
10The layout algorithm used by sizers in wxWidgets is closely related to layout
11in other GUI toolkits, such as Java's AWT, the GTK toolkit or the Qt toolkit. It is
12based upon the idea of the individual subwindows reporting their minimal required
13size and their ability to get stretched if the size of the parent window has changed.
14This will most often mean that the programmer does not set the original size of
15a dialog in the beginning, rather the dialog will be assigned a sizer and this sizer
16will be queried about the recommended size. The sizer in turn will query its
17children, which can be normal windows, empty space or other sizers, so that
18a hierarchy of sizers can be constructed. Note that wxSizer does not derive from wxWindow
19and thus does not interfere with tab ordering and requires very little resources compared
20to a real window on screen.
21
22What makes sizers so well fitted for use in wxWidgets is the fact that every control
23reports its own minimal size and the algorithm can handle differences in font sizes
24or different window (dialog item) sizes on different platforms without problems. If e.g.
25the standard font as well as the overall design of Motif widgets requires more space than
26on Windows, the initial dialog size will automatically be bigger on Motif than on Windows.
27
28Sizers may also be used to control the layout of custom drawn items on the window. The
29Add, Insert, and Prepend functions return a pointer to the newly added wxSizerItem. Just
30add empty space of the desired size and attributes, and then use the wxSizerItem::GetRect
31method to determine where the drawing operations should take place.
32
33
34Please notice that sizers, like child windows, are owned by the library and
35will be deleted by it which implies that they must be allocated on the heap.
36However if you create a sizer and do not add it to another sizer or window, the
37library wouldn't be able to delete such an orphan sizer and in this, and only
38this, case it should be deleted explicitly.
39
40\pythonnote{If you wish to create a sizer class in wxPython you should
41derive the class from {\tt wxPySizer} in order to get Python-aware
42capabilities for the various virtual methods.}

86
87Appends a child to the sizer. wxSizer itself is an abstract class, but the parameters are
88equivalent in the derived classes that you will instantiate to use it so they are described
89here:
90
91\docparam{window}{The window to be added to the sizer. Its initial size (either set explicitly by the
92user or calculated internally when using wxDefaultSize) is interpreted as the minimal and in many
93cases also the initial size.}
94
95\docparam{sizer}{The (child-)sizer to be added to the sizer. This allows placing a child sizer in a
96sizer and thus to create hierarchies of sizers (typically a vertical box as the top sizer and several
97horizontal 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
100gives more flexibility in the design of dialogs; imagine for example a horizontal box with two buttons at the
101bottom of a dialog: you might want to insert a space between the two buttons and make that space stretchable
102using the \arg{proportion} flag and the result will be that the left button will be aligned with the left
103side of the dialog and the right button with the right side - the space in between will shrink and grow with
104the dialog.}
105
106\docparam{proportion}{Although the meaning of this parameter is undefined in wxSizer, it is used in wxBoxSizer
107to indicate if a child of a sizer can change its size in the main orientation of the wxBoxSizer - where
1080 stands for not changeable and a value of more than zero is interpreted relative to the value of other
109children of the same wxBoxSizer. For example, you might have a horizontal wxBoxSizer with three children, two
110of which are supposed to change their size with the sizer. Then the two stretchable windows would get a
111value of 1 each to make them grow and shrink equally with the sizer's horizontal dimension.}
112
113\docparam{flag}{This parameter can be used to set a number of flags
114which can be combined using the binary OR operator |. Two main
115behaviours are defined using these flags. One is the border around a
116window: the \arg{border} parameter determines the border width whereas
117the flags given here determine which side(s) of the item that the
118border will be added. The other flags determine how the sizer item
119behaves when the space allotted to the sizer changes, and is somewhat
120dependent on the specific kind of sizer used.

132the space assigned to the item.}
133\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxSHAPED}}{The item will be expanded as much
134as possible while also maintaining its aspect ratio}
135\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxFIXED\_MINSIZE}}{Normally wxSizers will use
136\helpref{GetAdjustedBestSize}{wxwindowgetadjustedbestsize} to
137determine what the minimal size of window items should be, and will
138use that size to calculate the layout. This allows layouts to
139adjust when an item changes and its \arg{best size} becomes
140different. If you would rather have a window item stay the size it
141started with then use wxFIXED\_MINSIZE.}

150the sizer, adjusted for the border if any.}

152}
153
154\docparam{border}{Determines the border width, if the \arg{flag}
155 parameter is set to include any border flag.}
156
157\docparam{userData}{Allows an extra object to be attached to the sizer
158item, for use in derived classes when sizing information is more
159complex than the \arg{proportion} and \arg{flag} will allow for.}

162enables you to specify most of the above parameters more conveniently.}
163
164\membersection{wxSizer::AddSpacer}\label{wxsizeraddspacer}
165
166\func{wxSizerItem*}{AddSpacer}{\param{int }{size}}
167
168Adds non-stretchable space to the sizer. More readable way of calling
169\helpref{Add}{wxsizeradd}(size, size, 0).
170
171
172\membersection{wxSizer::AddStretchSpacer}\label{wxsizeraddstretchspacer}
173
174\func{wxSizerItem*}{AddStretchSpacer}{\param{int }{prop = 1}}
175
176Adds stretchable space to the sizer. More readable way of calling
177\helpref{Add}{wxsizeradd}(0, 0, prop).
178
179
180\membersection{wxSizer::CalcMin}\label{wxsizercalcmin}
181
182\func{wxSize}{CalcMin}{\void}
183
184This method is abstract and has to be overwritten by any derived class.
185Here, the sizer will do the actual calculation of its children minimal sizes.
186
187
188\membersection{wxSizer::Clear}\label{wxsizerclear}
189
190\func{void}{Clear}{\param{bool }{delete\_windows = false}}
191
192Detaches all children from the sizer. If \arg{delete\_windows} is \true then child windows will also be deleted.
193
194
195\membersection{wxSizer::Detach}\label{wxsizerdetach}
196
197\func{bool}{Detach}{\param{wxWindow* }{window}}
198
199\func{bool}{Detach}{\param{wxSizer* }{sizer}}
200
201\func{bool}{Detach}{\param{size\_t }{index}}
202
203Detach a child from the sizer without destroying it. \arg{window} is the window to be
204detached, \arg{sizer} is the equivalent sizer and \arg{index} is the position of
205the child in the sizer, typically 0 for the first item. This method does not
206cause any layout or resizing to take place, call \helpref{wxSizer::Layout}{wxsizerlayout}
207to update the layout "on screen" after detaching a child from the sizer.
208
209Returns true if the child item was found and detached, false otherwise.

215
216\membersection{wxSizer::Fit}\label{wxsizerfit}
217
218\func{wxSize}{Fit}{\param{wxWindow* }{window}}
219
220Tell the sizer to resize the \arg{window} to match the sizer's minimal size. This
221is commonly done in the constructor of the window itself, see sample in the description
222of \helpref{wxBoxSizer}{wxboxsizer}. Returns the new size.
223
224For a top level window this is the total window size, not client size.
225
226
227\membersection{wxSizer::FitInside}\label{wxsizerfitinside}
228
229\func{void}{FitInside}{\param{wxWindow* }{window}}
230
231Tell the sizer to resize the virtual size of the \arg{window} to match the sizer's
232minimal size. This will not alter the on screen size of the window, but may cause
233the addition/removal/alteration of scrollbars required to view the virtual area in
234windows which manage it.

257Finds item of the sizer which holds given \arg{window}, \arg{sizer} or is located
258in sizer at position \arg{index}.
259Use parameter \arg{recursive} to search in subsizers too.
260
261Returns pointer to item or NULL.

279
280\func{wxSize}{GetMinSize}{\void}
281
282Returns the minimal size of the sizer. This is either the combined minimal
283size of all the children and their borders or the minimal size set by
284\helpref{SetMinSize}{wxsizersetminsize}, depending on which is bigger.
285

292
293\func{bool}{Hide}{\param{size\_t }{index}}
294
295Hides the \arg{window}, \arg{sizer}, or item at \arg{index}.
296To make a sizer item disappear, use Hide() followed by \helpref{Layout()}{wxsizerlayout}.
297Use parameter \arg{recursive} to hide elements found in subsizers.
298
299Returns \true if the child item was found, \false otherwise.

359
360\func{void}{Layout}{\void}
361
362Call this to force layout of the children anew, e.g. after having added a child
363to or removed a child (window, other sizer or space) from the sizer while keeping
364the current dimension.

378
379Same as \helpref{wxSizer::Add}{wxsizeradd}, but prepends the items to the beginning of the
380list of items (windows, subsizers or spaces) owned by this sizer.

400
401\func{void}{RecalcSizes}{\void}
402
403This method is abstract and has to be overwritten by any derived class.
404Here, the sizer will do the actual calculation of its children's positions
405and sizes.

407
408\membersection{wxSizer::Remove}\label{wxsizerremove}
409
410\func{bool}{Remove}{\param{wxWindow* }{window}}
411
412\func{bool}{Remove}{\param{wxSizer* }{sizer}}
413
414\func{bool}{Remove}{\param{size\_t }{index}}
415
416Removes a child from the sizer and destroys it if it is a sizer or a spacer,
417but not if it is a window (because windows are owned by their parent window,
418not the sizer). \arg{sizer} is the wxSizer to be removed,
419\arg{index} is the position of the child in the sizer, e.g. $0$ for the first item.
420This method does not cause any layout or resizing to take place, call
421\helpref{wxSizer::Layout}{wxsizerlayout} to update the layout "on screen" after removing a
422child from the sizer.
423
424{\bf NB:} The method taking a wxWindow* parameter is deprecated as it does not
425destroy the window as would usually be expected from Remove. You should use
426\helpref{wxSizer::Detach}{wxsizerdetach} in new code instead. There is
427currently no wxSizer method that will both detach and destroy a wxWindow item.
428
429Returns true if the child item was found and removed, false otherwise.

431
432\membersection{wxSizer::Replace}\label{wxsizerreplace}

437
438\func{bool}{Remove}{\param{size\_t }{oldindex}, \param{wxSizerItem* }{newitem}}
439
440Detaches the given \arg{oldwin}, \arg{oldsz} child from the sizer and
441replaces it with the given window, sizer, or wxSizerItem.
442
443The detached child is removed {\bf only} if it is a sizer or a spacer
444(because windows are owned by their parent window, not the sizer).
445
446Use parameter \arg{recursive} to search the given element recursively in subsizers.
447
448
449This method does not cause any layout or resizing to take place, call
450\helpref{wxSizer::Layout}{wxsizerlayout} to update the layout "on screen" after replacing a
451child from the sizer.
452
453Returns true if the child item was found and removed, false otherwise.

457
458\func{void}{SetDimension}{\param{int }{x}, \param{int }{y}, \param{int }{width}, \param{int }{height}}
459
460Call this to force the sizer to take the given dimension and thus force the items owned
461by the sizer to resize themselves according to the rules defined by the parameter in the
462\helpref{Add}{wxsizeradd} and \helpref{Prepend}{wxsizerprepend} methods.

468
469\func{void}{SetMinSize}{\param{const wxSize\& }{size}}
470
471Call this to give the sizer a minimal size. Normally, the sizer will calculate its
472minimal size based purely on how much space its children need. After calling this
473method \helpref{GetMinSize}{wxsizergetminsize} will return either the minimal size
474as requested by its children or the minimal size set here, depending on which is
475bigger.

486Set an item's minimum size by window, sizer, or position. The item will be found recursively
487in the sizer's descendants. This function enables an application to set the size of an item
488after initial creation.

492
493\func{void}{SetSizeHints}{\param{wxWindow* }{window}}
494
495This method first calls \helpref{wxSizer::Fit}{wxsizerfit} and then
496\helpref{SetSizeHints}{wxtoplevelwindowsetsizehints} on the {\it window}
497passed to it. This only makes sense when {\it window} is actually a
498\helpref{wxTopLevelWindow}{wxtoplevelwindow} such as a wxFrame or a
499wxDialog, since SetSizeHints only has any effect in these classes.
500It does nothing in normal windows or controls.
501
502This method is commonly invoked in the constructor of a toplevel window itself
503(see the sample in the description of \helpref{wxBoxSizer}{wxboxsizer}) if the
504toplevel window is resizable.
505
506\membersection{wxSizer::SetVirtualSizeHints}\label{wxsizersetvirtualsizehints}
507
508\func{void}{SetVirtualSizeHints}{\param{wxWindow* }{window}}
509
510Tell the sizer to set the minimal size of the \arg{window} virtual area to match the sizer's
511minimal size. For windows with managed scrollbars this will set them appropriately.

523
524\func{bool}{Show}{\param{size\_t }{index}, \param{bool }{show = true}}
525
526Shows or hides the \arg{window}, \arg{sizer}, or item at \arg{index}.
527To make a sizer item disappear or reappear, use Show() followed by \helpref{Layout()}{wxsizerlayout}.
528Use parameter \arg{recursive} to show or hide elements found in subsizers.
529
530Returns true if the child item was found, false otherwise.

540\section{\class{wxSizerFlags}}\label{wxsizerflags}
541
542Normally, when you add an item to a sizer via
543\helpref{wxSizer::Add}{wxsizeradd}, you have to specify a lot of flags and
544parameters which can be unwieldy. This is where wxSizerFlags comes in: it
545allows you to specify all parameters using the named methods instead. For
546example, instead of
547
548\begin{verbatim}
549 sizer->Add(ctrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxBORDER, 10);
550\end{verbatim}
551
552you can now write
553
554\begin{verbatim}
555 sizer->Add(ctrl, wxSizerFlags().Expand().Border(10));
556\end{verbatim}
557
558This is more readable and also allows you to create wxSizerFlags objects which
559can 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
568Note that by specification, all methods of wxSizerFlags return the wxSizerFlags
569object itself to allowing chaining multiple methods calls like in the examples
570above.
