13 wxSizer is the abstract base class used for laying out subwindows in a window.
14 You cannot use wxSizer directly; instead, you will have to use one of the sizer
15 classes derived from it. Currently there are wxBoxSizer, wxStaticBoxSizer,
16 wxGridSizer, wxFlexGridSizer, wxWrapSizer and wxGridBagSizer.
18 The layout algorithm used by sizers in wxWidgets is closely related to layout
19 in other GUI toolkits, such as Java's AWT, the GTK toolkit or the Qt toolkit.
20 It is based upon the idea of the individual subwindows reporting their minimal
21 required size and their ability to get stretched if the size of the parent window
24 This will most often mean that the programmer does not set the original size of
25 a dialog in the beginning, rather the dialog will be assigned a sizer and this
26 sizer will be queried about the recommended size. The sizer in turn will query
27 its children, which can be normal windows, empty space or other sizers, so that
28 a hierarchy of sizers can be constructed. Note that wxSizer does not derive
29 from wxWindow and thus does not interfere with tab ordering and requires very little
30 resources compared to a real window on screen.
32 What makes sizers so well fitted for use in wxWidgets is the fact that every
33 control reports its own minimal size and the algorithm can handle differences in
34 font sizes or different window (dialog item) sizes on different platforms without
35 problems. If e.g. the standard font as well as the overall design of Motif widgets
36 requires more space than on Windows, the initial dialog size will automatically
37 be bigger on Motif than on Windows.
39 Sizers may also be used to control the layout of custom drawn items on the
40 window. The wxSizer::Add(), wxSizer::Insert(), and wxSizer::Prepend() functions
41 return a pointer to the newly added wxSizerItem.
42 Just add empty space of the desired size and attributes, and then use the
43 wxSizerItem::GetRect() method to determine where the drawing operations
46 Please notice that sizers, like child windows, are owned by the library and
47 will be deleted by it which implies that they must be allocated on the heap.
48 However if you create a sizer and do not add it to another sizer or
49 window, the library wouldn't be able to delete such an orphan sizer and in
50 this, and only this, case it should be deleted explicitly.
52 @section wxsizer_flags wxSizer flags
54 The "flag" argument accepted by wxSizeItem constructors and other
55 functions, e.g. wxSizer::Add(), is OR-combination of the following flags.
56 Two main behaviours are defined using these flags. One is the border around
57 a window: the border parameter determines the border width whereas the
58 flags given here determine which side(s) of the item that the border will
59 be added. The other flags determine how the sizer item behaves when the
60 space allotted to the sizer changes, and is somewhat dependent on the
61 specific kind of sizer used.
69 These flags are used to specify which side(s) of the sizer item
70 the border width will apply to.}
72 The item will be expanded to fill the space assigned to the item.}
74 The item will be expanded as much as possible while also
75 maintaining its aspect ratio.}
76 @itemdef{wxFIXED_MINSIZE,
77 Normally wxSizers will use GetAdjustedBestSize() to determine what
78 the minimal size of window items should be, and will use that size
79 to calculate the layout. This allows layouts to adjust when an
80 item changes and its best size becomes different. If you would
81 rather have a window item stay the size it started with then use
83 @itemdef{wxRESERVE_SPACE_EVEN_IF_HIDDEN,
84 Normally wxSizers don't allocate space for hidden windows or other
85 items. This flag overrides this behaviour so that sufficient space
86 is allocated for the window even if it isn't visible. This makes
87 it possible to dynamically show and hide controls without resizing
88 parent dialog, for example. (Available since 2.8.8.)}
89 @itemdef{wxALIGN_CENTER<br>
95 wxALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL<br>
96 wxALIGN_CENTRE_VERTICAL<br>
97 wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL<br>
98 wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL,
99 The @c wxALIGN_* flags allow you to specify the alignment of the item
100 within the space allotted to it by the sizer, adjusted for the

154 Although the meaning of this parameter is undefined in wxSizer, it
155 is used in wxBoxSizer to indicate if a child of a sizer can change
156 its size in the main orientation of the wxBoxSizer - where 0 stands
157 for not changeable and a value of more than zero is interpreted
158 relative to the value of other children of the same wxBoxSizer. For
159 example, you might have a horizontal wxBoxSizer with three
160 children, two of which are supposed to change their size with the
161 sizer. Then the two stretchable windows would get a value of 1 each
162 to make them grow and shrink equally with the sizer's horizontal
165 OR-combination of flags affecting sizer's behaviour. See
166 @ref wxsizer_flags "wxSizer flags list" for details.
168 Determines the border width, if the flag parameter is set to

243 in the derived classes that you will instantiate to use it so they are
246 @a width and @a height specify the dimension of a spacer to be added to
247 the sizer. Adding spacers to sizers gives more flexibility in the
248 design of dialogs; imagine for example a horizontal box with two
249 buttons at the bottom of a dialog: you might want to insert a space
250 between the two buttons and make that space stretchable using the
251 proportion flag and the result will be that the left button will be
252 aligned with the left side of the dialog and the right button with the
253 right side - the space in between will shrink and grow with the dialog.
258 Height of the spacer.
260 Although the meaning of this parameter is undefined in wxSizer, it
261 is used in wxBoxSizer to indicate if a child of a sizer can change

303 This base function adds non-stretchable space to both the horizontal
304 and vertical orientation of the sizer.

329 Detaches all children from the sizer.
330 If @a delete_windows is @true then child windows will also be deleted.
332 virtual void Clear(bool delete_windows
= false);
335 Computes client area size for @a window so that it matches the sizer's
336 minimal size. Unlike GetMinSize(), this method accounts for other
337 constraints imposed on @e window, namely display's size (returned size
338 will never be too large for the display) and maximum window size if
339 previously set by wxWindow::SetMaxSize().
341 The returned value is suitable for passing to wxWindow::SetClientSize() or
342 wxWindow::SetMinClientSize().
346 @see ComputeFittingWindowSize(), Fit()
348 wxSize
ComputeFittingClientSize(wxWindow
* window
);
351 Like ComputeFittingClientSize(), but converts the result into window
352 size. The returned value is suitable for passing to wxWindow::SetSize()
353 or wxWindow::SetMinSize().

365 to update the layout "on screen" after detaching a child from the sizer.
367 Returns @true if the child item was found and detached, @false otherwise.
371 virtual bool Detach(wxWindow
* window
);
374 Detach the child @a sizer from the sizer without destroying it.
376 This method does not cause any layout or resizing to take place, call Layout()
377 to update the layout "on screen" after detaching a child from the sizer.
379 Returns @true if the child item was found and detached, @false otherwise.

389 to update the layout "on screen" after detaching a child from the sizer.
390 Returns @true if the child item was found and detached, @false otherwise.
394 virtual bool Detach(int index
);
397 Tell the sizer to resize the @a window so that its client area matches the
398 sizer's minimal size (ComputeFittingClientSize() is called to determine it).
399 This is commonly done in the constructor of the window itself, see sample
400 in the description of wxBoxSizer.
402 @return The new window size.
404 @see ComputeFittingClientSize(), ComputeFittingWindowSize()
406 wxSize
Fit(wxWindow
* window
);
409 Tell the sizer to resize the virtual size of the @a window to match the sizer's
410 minimal size. This will not alter the on screen size of the window, but may
411 cause the addition/removal/alteration of scrollbars required to view the virtual
412 area in windows which manage it.
414 @see wxScrolled::SetScrollbars(), SetVirtualSizeHints()
416 void FitInside(wxWindow

419 Inform sizer about the first direction that has been decided (by
420 parent item). Returns true if it made use of the information (and
421 recalculated min size).
423 virtual bool InformFirstDirection(int direction
, int size
, int availableOtherDir
);
428 Returns the list of the items in this sizer.

448 Returns the number of items in the sizer.
450 If you just need to test whether the sizer is empty or not you can also
451 use IsEmpty() function.

456 Finds wxSizerItem which holds the given @a window.
457 Use parameter @a recursive to search in subsizers too.
458 Returns pointer to item or @NULL.

473 Returns pointer to item or @NULL.
475 wxSizerItem
* GetItem(size_t index
);
478 Finds item of the sizer which has the given @e id.
479 This @a id is not the window id but the id of the wxSizerItem itself.
480 This is mainly useful for retrieving the sizers created from XRC resources.
481 Use parameter @a recursive to search in subsizers too.
482 Returns pointer to item or @NULL.
484 wxSizerItem
* GetItemById(int id
, bool recursive
= false);
487 Returns the minimal size of the sizer.
489 This is either the combined minimal size of all the children and their
490 borders or the minimal size set by SetMinSize(), depending on which is bigger.
491 Note that the returned value is client size, not window size.
492 In particular, if you use the value to set toplevel window's minimal or
493 actual size, use wxWindow::SetMinClientSize() or wxWindow::SetClientSize(),
494 not wxWindow::SetMinSize() or wxWindow::SetSize().

799 Detaches the given item at position @a index from the sizer and
800 replaces it with the given wxSizerItem @a newitem.
802 The detached child is deleted @b only if it is a sizer or a spacer
803 (but not if it is a wxWindow because windows are owned by their
804 parent window, not the sizer).
806 This method does not cause any layout or resizing to take place,

827 Set an item's minimum size by window, sizer, or position.
829 This function enables an application to set the size of an item after

853 Call this to give the sizer a minimal size.
855 Normally, the sizer will calculate its minimal size based purely on how
856 much space its children need. After calling this method GetMinSize()
857 will return either the minimal size as requested by its children or the
858 minimal size set here, depending on which is bigger.
860 void SetMinSize(const wxSize
& size
);
865 void SetMinSize(int width

868 This method first calls Fit() and then wxTopLevelWindow::SetSizeHints()
869 on the @a window passed to it.
871 This only makes sense when @a window is actually a wxTopLevelWindow such
872 as a wxFrame or a wxDialog, since SetSizeHints only has any effect in these classes.
873 It does nothing in normal windows or controls.
875 This method is implicitly used by wxWindow::SetSizerAndFit() which is
876 commonly invoked in the constructor of a toplevel window itself (see
877 the sample in the description of wxBoxSizer) if the toplevel window is
880 void SetSizeHints(wxWindow
* window
);
883 Tell the sizer to set the minimal size of the @a window virtual area to match
884 the sizer's minimal size. For windows with managed scrollbars this will set them

940 @class wxStdDialogButtonSizer
942 This class creates button layouts which conform to the standard button spacing
943 and ordering defined by the platform or toolkit's user interface guidelines
944 (if such things exist). By using this class, you can ensure that all your
945 standard dialogs look correct on all major platforms. Currently it conforms to
946 the Windows, GTK+ and Mac OS X human interface guidelines.
948 When there aren't interface guidelines defined for a particular platform or
949 toolkit, wxStdDialogButtonSizer reverts to the Windows implementation.
951 To use this class, first add buttons to the sizer by calling
952 wxStdDialogButtonSizer::AddButton (or wxStdDialogButtonSizer::SetAffirmativeButton,
953 wxStdDialogButtonSizer::SetNegativeButton or wxStdDialogButtonSizer::SetCancelButton)
954 and then call Realize in order to create the actual button layout used.
955 Other than these special operations, this sizer works like any other sizer.
957 If you add a button with wxID_SAVE, on Mac OS X the button will be renamed to
958 "Save" and the wxID_NO button will be renamed to "Don't Save" in accordance
959 with the Mac OS X Human Interface Guidelines.

975 Adds a button to the wxStdDialogButtonSizer. The @a button must have
976 one of the following identifiers:

* button
);
990 Rearranges the buttons and applies proper spacing between buttons to make
991 them match the platform or toolkit's interface guidelines.
996 Sets the affirmative button for the sizer.
998 This allows you to use identifiers other than the standard identifiers
1001 void SetAffirmativeButton(wxButton
* button
);
1004 Sets the cancel button for the sizer.
1006 This allows you to use identifiers other than the standard identifiers
1009 void SetCancelButton(wxButton

1028 The wxSizerItem class is used to track the position, size and other
1029 attributes of each item managed by a wxSizer.
1031 It is not usually necessary to use this class because the sizer elements can
1032 also be identified by their positions or window or sizer pointers but sometimes
1033 it may be more convenient to use it directly.

1300 Container for sizer items flags providing readable names for them.
1302 Normally, when you add an item to a sizer via wxSizer::Add, you have to
1303 specify a lot of flags and parameters which can be unwieldy. This is where
1304 wxSizerFlags comes in: it allows you to specify all parameters using the
1305 named methods instead. For example, instead of
1308 sizer->Add(ctrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 10);
1314 sizer->Add(ctrl, wxSizerFlags().Expand().Border(wxALL, 10));
1317 This is more readable and also allows you to create wxSizerFlags objects which
1318 can be reused for several sizer items.
1321 wxSizerFlags flagsExpand(1);
1322 flagsExpand.Expand().Border(wxALL, 10);
1324 sizer->Add(ctrl1, flagsExpand);
1325 sizer->Add(ctrl2, flagsExpand);
1328 Note that by specification, all methods of wxSizerFlags return the wxSizerFlags
1329 object itself to allowing chaining multiple methods calls like in the examples

1368 Direction(s) to apply the border in.
1370 wxSizerFlags
& Border(int direction

1411 of the window should be also set as its minimal size.
1413 wxSizerFlags
& FixedMinSize();
1416 Set the @c wxRESERVE_SPACE_EVEN_IF_HIDDEN flag. Normally wxSizers
1417 don't allocate space for hidden windows or other items. This flag
1418 overrides this behaviour so that sufficient space is allocated for the
1419 window even if it isn't visible. This makes it possible to dynamically
1420 show and hide controls without resizing parent dialog, for example.
1424 wxSizerFlags
& ReserveSpaceEvenIfHidden();
1427 Returns the border used by default in Border() method.
1429 static int GetDefaultBorder();
1432 Aligns the object to the left, similar for @c Align(wxALIGN_LEFT).
1434 Unlike Align(), this method doesn't change the vertical alignment of
1437 wxSizerFlags

1440 Sets the proportion of this wxSizerFlags to @e proportion
1442 wxSizerFlags
& Proportion(int proportion
);
1445 Aligns the object to the right, similar for @c Align(wxALIGN_RIGHT).
1447 Unlike Align(), this method doesn't change the vertical alignment of
1450 wxSizerFlags
& Right();
1453 Set the @c wx_SHAPED flag which indicates that the elements should
1454 always keep the fixed width to height ratio equal to its original value.
1456 wxSizerFlags
& Shaped();
1459 Aligns the object to the top, similar for @c Align(wxALIGN_TOP).
1461 Unlike Align(), this method doesn't change the horizontal alignment of
1464 wxSizerFlags
& Top();
1467 Sets the border in the given @a direction having thrice the default
1470 wxSizerFlags
& TripleBorder(int direction
= wxALL
);
1475 Values which define the behaviour for resizing wxFlexGridSizer cells in the
1476 "non-flexible" direction.
1478 enum wxFlexSizerGrowMode
1480 /// Don't resize the cells in non-flexible direction at all.
1481 wxFLEX_GROWMODE_NONE
,
1483 /// Uniformly resize only the specified ones (default).
1484 wxFLEX_GROWMODE_SPECIFIED
,
1486 /// Uniformly resize all cells.
1491 @class wxFlexGridSizer
1493 A flex grid sizer is a sizer which lays out its children in a two-dimensional
1494 table with all table fields in one row having the same height and all fields
1495 in one column having the same width, but all rows or all columns are not
1496 necessarily the same height or width as in the wxGridSizer.
1498 Since wxWidgets 2.5.0, wxFlexGridSizer can also size items equally in one
1499 direction but unequally ("flexibly") in the other. If the sizer is only
1500 flexible in one direction (this can be changed using wxFlexGridSizer::SetFlexibleDirection),
1501 it needs to be decided how the sizer should grow in the other ("non-flexible")
1502 direction in order to fill the available space.
1503 The wxFlexGridSizer::SetNonFlexibleGrowMode() method serves this purpose.

1529 Specifies that column @a idx (starting from zero) should be grown if
1530 there is extra space available to the sizer.
1532 The @a proportion parameter has the same meaning as the stretch factor
1533 for the sizers (see wxBoxSizer) except that if all proportions are 0,
1534 then all columns are resized equally (instead of not being resized at all).
1536 Notice that the column must not be already growable, if you need to change
1537 the proportion you must call RemoveGrowableCol() first and then make it
1538 growable (with a different proportion) again. You can use IsColGrowable()
1539 to check whether a column is already growable.
1541 void AddGrowableCol(size_t idx
, int proportion

1544 Specifies that row idx (starting from zero) should be grown if there
1545 is extra space available to the sizer.
1547 This is identical to AddGrowableCol() except that it works with rows
1550 void AddGrowableRow(size_t idx
, int proportion
= 0);
1553 Returns a ::wxOrientation value that specifies whether the sizer flexibly
1554 resizes its columns, rows, or both (default).
1557 One of the following values:
1558 - wxVERTICAL: Rows are flexibly sized.
1559 - wxHORIZONTAL: Columns are flexibly sized.
1560 - wxBOTH: Both rows and columns are flexibly sized (this is the default value).
1562 @see SetFlexibleDirection()
1564 int GetFlexibleDirection() const;
1567 Returns the value that specifies how the sizer grows in the "non-flexible"
1568 direction if there is one.
1570 The behaviour of the elements in the flexible direction (i.e. both rows
1571 and columns by default, or rows only if GetFlexibleDirection() is
1572 @c wxVERTICAL or columns only if it is @c wxHORIZONTAL) is always governed
1573 by their proportion as specified in the call to AddGrowableRow() or
1574 AddGrowableCol(). What happens in the other direction depends on the
1575 value of returned by this function as described below.
1578 One of the following values:
1579 - wxFLEX_GROWMODE_NONE: Sizer doesn't grow its elements at all in
1580 the non-flexible direction.
1581 - wxFLEX_GROWMODE_SPECIFIED: Sizer honors growable columns/rows set
1582 with AddGrowableCol() and AddGrowableRow() in the non-flexible
1583 direction as well. In this case equal sizing applies to minimum
1584 sizes of columns or rows (this is the default value).
1585 - wxFLEX_GROWMODE_ALL: Sizer equally stretches all columns or rows in
1586 the non-flexible direction, independently of the proportions
1587 applied in the flexible direction.

);
1613 Specifies that the @a idx row index is no longer growable.
1615 void RemoveGrowableRow(size_t idx

1618 Specifies whether the sizer should flexibly resize its columns, rows, or both.
1620 Argument @a direction can be @c wxVERTICAL, @c wxHORIZONTAL or @c wxBOTH
1621 (which is the default value). Any other value is ignored.
1623 See GetFlexibleDirection() for the explanation of these values.

1626 void SetFlexibleDirection(int direction

1629 Specifies how the sizer should grow in the non-flexible direction if
1630 there is one (so SetFlexibleDirection() must have been called previously).

1647 A grid sizer is a sizer which lays out its children in a two-dimensional
1648 table with all table fields having the same size, i.e. the width of each
1649 field is the width of the widest child, the height of each field is the
1650 height of the tallest child.

1655 @see wxSizer, @ref overview_sizer
1657 class wxGridSizer
: public wxSizer
1662 wxGridSizer constructors.
1664 Usually only the number of columns in the flex grid sizer needs to be
1665 specified using @a cols argument. The number of rows will be deduced
1666 automatically depending on the number of the elements added to the
1669 If a constructor form with @a rows parameter is used (and the value of
1670 @a rows argument is not zero, meaning "unspecified") the sizer will
1671 check that no more than @c cols*rows elements are added to it, i.e.
1672 that no more than the given number of @a rows is used. Adding less than
1673 maximally allowed number of items is not an error however.
1675 Finally, it is also possible to specify the number of rows and use 0
1676 for @a cols. In this case, the sizer will use the given fixed number of
1677 rows and as many columns as necessary.
1679 The @a gap (or @a vgap and @a hgap, which correspond to the height and
1680 width of the wxSize object) argument defines the size of the padding
1681 between the rows (its vertical component, or @a vgap) and columns
1682 (its horizontal component, or @a hgap), in pixels.

1771 @class wxStaticBoxSizer
1773 wxStaticBoxSizer is a sizer derived from wxBoxSizer but adds a static box around
1776 The static box may be either created independently or the sizer may create it
1777 itself as a convenience. In any case, the sizer owns the wxStaticBox control
1778 and will delete it in the wxStaticBoxSizer destructor.
1780 Note that since wxWidgets 2.9.1 you are encouraged to create the windows
1781 which are added to wxStaticBoxSizer as children of wxStaticBox itself, see
1782 this class documentation for more details.
1784 Example of use of this class:
1786 void MyFrame::CreateControls()
1788 wxPanel *panel = new wxPanel(this);
1790 wxStaticBoxSizer *sz = new wxStaticBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL, panel, "Box");
1791 sz->Add(new wxStaticText(sz->GetStaticBox(), wxID_ANY,
1792 "This window is a child of the staticbox"));

1806 This constructor uses an already existing static box.
1809 The static box to associate with the sizer (which will take its
1812 Can be either @c wxVERTICAL or @c wxHORIZONTAL.
1814 wxStaticBoxSizer(wxStaticBox
* box
, int orient

1817 This constructor creates a new static box with the given label and parent window.
1819 wxStaticBoxSizer(int orient
, wxWindow
*parent
,
1820 const wxString

1836 The basic idea behind a box sizer is that windows will most often be laid out
1837 in rather simple basic geometry, typically in a row or a column or several
1838 hierarchies of either.

1847 class wxBoxSizer
: public wxSizer
1851 Constructor for a wxBoxSizer. @a orient may be either of wxVERTICAL
1852 or wxHORIZONTAL for creating either a column sizer or a row sizer.
1854 wxBoxSizer(int orient
);
1857 Adds non-stretchable space to the main orientation of the sizer only.
1858 More readable way of calling:
1860 if ( wxBoxSizer::IsVertical() )
1862 wxBoxSizer::Add(0, size, 0).
1866 wxBoxSizer::Add(size, 0, 0).
