11 @wxheader{sizer.h}
12
13 This class creates button layouts which conform to the standard button spacing
14 and ordering defined by the platform
15 or toolkit's user interface guidelines (if such things exist). By using this
16 class, you can ensure that all your
17 standard dialogs look correct on all major platforms. Currently it conforms to
18 the Windows, GTK+ and Mac OS X
19 human interface guidelines.
20
21 When there aren't interface guidelines defined for a particular platform or
22 toolkit, wxStdDialogButtonSizer reverts
23 to the Windows implementation.
24
25 To use this class, first add buttons to the sizer by calling AddButton (or
26 SetAffirmativeButton, SetNegativeButton,
27 or SetCancelButton) and then call Realize in order to create the actual button
28 layout used. Other than these special
29 operations, this sizer works like any other sizer.
30
31 If you add a button with wxID_SAVE, on Mac OS X the button will be renamed to
32 "Save" and
33 the wxID_NO button will be renamed to "Don't Save" in accordance with the Mac
34 OS X Human Interface Guidelines.

305 Normally, when you add an item to a sizer via
306 wxSizer::Add, you have to specify a lot of flags and
307 parameters which can be unwieldy. This is where wxSizerFlags comes in: it
308 allows you to specify all parameters using the named methods instead. For
309 example, instead of
310
311 @code
312 sizer-Add(ctrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 10);
313 @endcode
314
315 you can now write
316
317 @code
318 sizer-Add(ctrl, wxSizerFlags().Expand().Border(10));
319 @endcode
320
321 This is more readable and also allows you to create wxSizerFlags objects which
322 can be reused for several sizer items.
323

466 wxNotebookSizer is a specialized sizer to make sizers work in connection

468 you must not add any children to it - instead, it queries the notebook class
469 itself.

471 page of the notebook and report an adjusted minimal size to a more toplevel
472 sizer.

502 rows or all columns are not necessarily the same height or width as in

504
505 Since wxWidgets 2.5.0, wxFlexGridSizer can also size items equally in one

609
610 wxSizer is the abstract base class used for laying out subwindows in a window.
611 You
612 cannot use wxSizer directly; instead, you will have to use one of the sizer
613 classes derived from it. Currently there are wxBoxSizer,
614 wxStaticBoxSizer,
615 wxGridSizer,
616 wxFlexGridSizer,
617 wxWrapSizer
618 and wxGridBagSizer.
619
620 The layout algorithm used by sizers in wxWidgets is closely related to layout
621 in other GUI toolkits, such as Java's AWT, the GTK toolkit or the Qt toolkit.
622 It is
623 based upon the idea of the individual subwindows reporting their minimal
624 required
625 size and their ability to get stretched if the size of the parent window has
626 changed.
627 This will most often mean that the programmer does not set the original size of
628 a dialog in the beginning, rather the dialog will be assigned a sizer and this
629 sizer
630 will be queried about the recommended size. The sizer in turn will query its
631 children, which can be normal windows, empty space or other sizers, so that
632 a hierarchy of sizers can be constructed. Note that wxSizer does not derive
633 from wxWindow
634 and thus does not interfere with tab ordering and requires very little
635 resources compared
636 to a real window on screen.
637
638 What makes sizers so well fitted for use in wxWidgets is the fact that every
639 control
640 reports its own minimal size and the algorithm can handle differences in font
641 sizes
642 or different window (dialog item) sizes on different platforms without
643 problems. If e.g.
644 the standard font as well as the overall design of Motif widgets requires more
645 space than
646 on Windows, the initial dialog size will automatically be bigger on Motif than
647 on Windows.
648
649 Sizers may also be used to control the layout of custom drawn items on the
650 window. The
651 Add, Insert, and Prepend functions return a pointer to the newly added
652 wxSizerItem. Just
653 add empty space of the desired size and attributes, and then use the
654 wxSizerItem::GetRect
655 method to determine where the drawing operations should take place.
656
657 Please notice that sizers, like child windows, are owned by the library and
658 will be deleted by it which implies that they must be allocated on the heap.
659 However if you create a sizer and do not add it to another sizer or window, the
660 library wouldn't be able to delete such an orphan sizer and in this, and only
661 this, case it should be deleted explicitly.
662
663 @b wxPython note: If you wish to create a sizer class in wxPython you should
664 derive the class from @c wxPySizer in order to get Python-aware
665 capabilities for the various virtual methods.

697 user or calculated internally when using wxDefaultSize) is interpreted as
698 the minimal and in many
699 cases also the initial size.
700 @param sizer
701 The (child-)sizer to be added to the sizer. This allows placing a child
702 sizer in a
703 sizer and thus to create hierarchies of sizers (typically a vertical box as
704 the top sizer and several
705 horizontal boxes on the level beneath).
706 @param width and height
707 The dimension of a spacer to be added to the sizer. Adding spacers to sizers
708 gives more flexibility in the design of dialogs; imagine for example a
709 horizontal box with two buttons at the
710 bottom of a dialog: you might want to insert a space between the two
711 buttons and make that space stretchable
712 using the proportion flag and the result will be that the left button will
713 be aligned with the left
714 side of the dialog and the right button with the right side - the space in
715 between will shrink and grow with
716 the dialog.
717 @param proportion
718 Although the meaning of this parameter is undefined in wxSizer, it is used
719 in wxBoxSizer
720 to indicate if a child of a sizer can change its size in the main
721 orientation of the wxBoxSizer - where
722 0 stands for not changeable and a value of more than zero is interpreted
723 relative to the value of other
724 children of the same wxBoxSizer. For example, you might have a horizontal
725 wxBoxSizer with three children, two
726 of which are supposed to change their size with the sizer. Then the two
727 stretchable windows would get a
728 value of 1 each to make them grow and shrink equally with the sizer's
729 horizontal dimension.
730 @param flag
731 This parameter can be used to set a number of flags
732 which can be combined using the binary OR operator |. Two main
733 behaviours are defined using these flags. One is the border around a
734 window: the border parameter determines the border width whereas
735 the flags given here determine which side(s) of the item that the
736 border will be added. The other flags determine how the sizer item
737 behaves when the space allotted to the sizer changes, and is somewhat
738 dependent on the specific kind of sizer used.

796 determine what the minimal size of window items should be, and will
797 use that size to calculate the layout. This allows layouts to
798 adjust when an item changes and its best size becomes
799 different. If you would rather have a window item stay the size it
800 started with then use wxFIXED_MINSIZE.

834 A wxSizerFlags object that

1320 the sizer may create it itself as a convenience. In any case, the sizer owns
1321 the wxStaticBox control and will delete it if it is
1322 deleted.
