2
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.}
160
161\docparam{flags}{A \helpref{wxSizerFlags}{wxsizerflags} object that
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.

290
291Returns the minimal size of the sizer. This is either the combined minimal
292size of all the children and their borders or the minimal size set by
293\helpref{SetMinSize}{wxsizersetminsize}, depending on which is bigger.

420
421\func{bool}{Remove}{\param{wxSizer* }{sizer}}
422
423\func{bool}{Remove}{\param{size\_t }{index}}
424
425Removes a child from the sizer and destroys it if it is a sizer or a spacer,
426but not if it is a window (because windows are owned by their parent window,
427not the sizer). \arg{sizer} is the wxSizer to be removed,
428\arg{index} is the position of the child in the sizer, e.g. $0$ for the first item.
429This method does not cause any layout or resizing to take place, call
430\helpref{wxSizer::Layout}{wxsizerlayout} to update the layout "on screen" after removing a
431child from the sizer.
432
433{\bf NB:} The method taking a wxWindow* parameter is deprecated as it does not
434destroy the window as would usually be expected from Remove. You should use
435\helpref{wxSizer::Detach}{wxsizerdetach} in new code instead. There is
436currently no wxSizer method that will both detach and destroy a wxWindow item.
437
438Returns true if the child item was found and removed, false otherwise.

446
447\func{bool}{Remove}{\param{size\_t }{oldindex}, \param{wxSizerItem* }{newitem}}
448
449Detaches the given \arg{oldwin}, \arg{oldsz} child from the sizer and
450replaces it with the given window, sizer, or wxSizerItem.
451
452The detached child is removed {\bf only} if it is a sizer or a spacer
453(because windows are owned by their parent window, not the sizer).
454
455Use parameter \arg{recursive} to search the given element recursively in subsizers.
456
457
458This method does not cause any layout or resizing to take place, call
459\helpref{wxSizer::Layout}{wxsizerlayout} to update the layout "on screen" after replacing a
460child from the sizer.
461

466
467\func{void}{SetDimension}{\param{int }{x}, \param{int }{y}, \param{int }{width}, \param{int }{height}}
468
469Call this to force the sizer to take the given dimension and thus force the items owned
470by the sizer to resize themselves according to the rules defined by the parameter in the
471\helpref{Add}{wxsizeradd} and \helpref{Prepend}{wxsizerprepend} methods.

477
478\func{void}{SetMinSize}{\param{const wxSize\& }{size}}
479
480Call this to give the sizer a minimal size. Normally, the sizer will calculate its
481minimal size based purely on how much space its children need. After calling this
482method \helpref{GetMinSize}{wxsizergetminsize} will return either the minimal size
483as requested by its children or the minimal size set here, depending on which is
484bigger.

492
493\func{void}{SetItemMinSize}{\param{size\_t }{index}, \param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}}
494
495Set an item's minimum size by window, sizer, or position. The item will be found recursively
496in the sizer's descendants. This function enables an application to set the size of an item
497after initial creation.

500\membersection{wxSizer::SetSizeHints}\label{wxsizersetsizehints}
501
502\func{void}{SetSizeHints}{\param{wxWindow* }{window}}
503
504This method first calls \helpref{wxSizer::Fit}{wxsizerfit} and then
505\helpref{SetSizeHints}{wxtoplevelwindowsetsizehints} on the {\it window}
506passed to it. This only makes sense when {\it window} is actually a
507\helpref{wxTopLevelWindow}{wxtoplevelwindow} such as a wxFrame or a
508wxDialog, since SetSizeHints only has any effect in these classes.
509It does nothing in normal windows or controls.
510
511This method is commonly invoked in the constructor of a toplevel window itself
512(see the sample in the description of \helpref{wxBoxSizer}{wxboxsizer}) if the
513toplevel window is resizable.
514
515\membersection{wxSizer::SetVirtualSizeHints}\label{wxsizersetvirtualsizehints}
516
517\func{void}{SetVirtualSizeHints}{\param{wxWindow* }{window}}
518
519Tell the sizer to set the minimal size of the \arg{window} virtual area to match the sizer's
520minimal size. For windows with managed scrollbars this will set them appropriately.

532
533\func{bool}{Show}{\param{size\_t }{index}, \param{bool }{show = true}}
534
535Shows or hides the \arg{window}, \arg{sizer}, or item at \arg{index}.
536To make a sizer item disappear or reappear, use Show() followed by \helpref{Layout()}{wxsizerlayout}.
537Use parameter \arg{recursive} to show or hide elements found in subsizers.
538
539Returns true if the child item was found, false otherwise.

549\section{\class{wxSizerFlags}}\label{wxsizerflags}
550
551Normally, when you add an item to a sizer via
552\helpref{wxSizer::Add}{wxsizeradd}, you have to specify a lot of flags and
553parameters which can be unwieldy. This is where wxSizerFlags comes in: it
554allows you to specify all parameters using the named methods instead. For
555example, instead of
556
557\begin{verbatim}
558 sizer->Add(ctrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxBORDER, 10);
559\end{verbatim}
560
561you can now write
562
563\begin{verbatim}
564 sizer->Add(ctrl, wxSizerFlags().Expand().Border(10));
565\end{verbatim}
566
567This is more readable and also allows you to create wxSizerFlags objects which
568can be reused for several sizer items.
569\begin{verbatim}
570 wxSizerFlags flagsExpand(1);
571 flagsExpand.Expand().Border(10);
572
573 sizer->Add(ctrl1, flagsExpand);
574 sizer->Add(ctrl2, flagsExpand);
575\end{verbatim}
576
577Note that by specification, all methods of wxSizerFlags return the wxSizerFlags
578object itself to allowing chaining multiple methods calls like in the examples
579above.
