11 @class wxSizer
12
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.
17
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
22 has changed.
23
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.
31
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.
38
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
44 should take place.
45
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.
51
52 @beginWxPythonOnly
53 If you wish to create a sizer class in wxPython you should
54 derive the class from @c wxPySizer in order to get Python-aware
55 capabilities for the various virtual methods.
56 @endWxPythonOnly
57
58 @section wxsizer_flags wxSizer flags
59
60 The "flag" argument accepted by wxSizeItem constructors and other
61 functions, e.g. wxSizer::Add(), is OR-combination of the following flags.
62 Two main behaviours are defined using these flags. One is the border around
63 a window: the border parameter determines the border width whereas the
64 flags given here determine which side(s) of the item that the border will
65 be added. The other flags determine how the sizer item behaves when the
66 space allotted to the sizer changes, and is somewhat dependent on the
67 specific kind of sizer used.
68
69 @beginDefList
70 @itemdef{wxTOP<br>
71 wxBOTTOM<br>
72 wxLEFT<br>
73 wxRIGHT<br>
74 wxALL,
75 These flags are used to specify which side(s) of the sizer item
76 the border width will apply to.}
77 @itemdef{wxEXPAND,
78 The item will be expanded to fill the space assigned to the item.}
79 @itemdef{wxSHAPED,
80 The item will be expanded as much as possible while also
81 maintaining its aspect ratio.}
82 @itemdef{wxFIXED_MINSIZE,
83 Normally wxSizers will use GetAdjustedBestSize() to determine what
84 the minimal size of window items should be, and will use that size
85 to calculate the layout. This allows layouts to adjust when an
86 item changes and its best size becomes different. If you would
87 rather have a window item stay the size it started with then use
88 @c wxFIXED_MINSIZE.}
89 @itemdef{wxRESERVE_SPACE_EVEN_IF_HIDDEN,
90 Normally wxSizers don't allocate space for hidden windows or other
91 items. This flag overrides this behaviour so that sufficient space
92 is allocated for the window even if it isn't visible. This makes
93 it possible to dynamically show and hide controls without resizing
94 parent dialog, for example. (Available since 2.8.8.)}
95 @itemdef{wxALIGN_CENTER<br>
96 wxALIGN_CENTRE<br>
97 wxALIGN_LEFT<br>
98 wxALIGN_RIGHT<br>
99 wxALIGN_TOP<br>

101 wxALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL<br>
102 wxALIGN_CENTRE_VERTICAL<br>
103 wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL<br>
104 wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL,
105 The @c wxALIGN_* flags allow you to specify the alignment of the item
106 within the space allotted to it by the sizer, adjusted for the
107 border if any.}

911 standard dialogs look correct on all major platforms. Currently it conforms to

920 and then call Realize in order to create the actual button layout used.
921 Other than these special operations, this sizer works like any other sizer.
922
923 If you add a button with wxID_SAVE, on Mac OS X the button will be renamed to
924 "Save" and the wxID_NO button will be renamed to "Don't Save" in accordance
925 with the Mac OS X Human Interface Guidelines.

1267
1268 Normally, when you add an item to a sizer via wxSizer::Add, you have to
1269 specify a lot of flags and parameters which can be unwieldy. This is where
1270 wxSizerFlags comes in: it allows you to specify all parameters using the
1271 named methods instead. For example, instead of
1272
1273 @code
1274 sizer->Add(ctrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 10);
1275 @endcode
1276
1277 you can now write
1278
1279 @code
1280 sizer->Add(ctrl, wxSizerFlags().Expand().Border(wxALL, 10));
1281 @endcode
1282
1283 This is more readable and also allows you to create wxSizerFlags objects which
1284 can be reused for several sizer items.
1285
1286 @code
1287 wxSizerFlags flagsExpand(1);
1288 flagsExpand.Expand().Border(wxALL, 10);
1289
1290 sizer->Add(ctrl1, flagsExpand);
1291 sizer->Add(ctrl2, flagsExpand);
1292 @endcode
1293
1294 Note that by specification, all methods of wxSizerFlags return the wxSizerFlags
1295 object itself to allowing chaining multiple methods calls like in the examples
1296 above.

1459 A flex grid sizer is a sizer which lays out its children in a two-dimensional

1461 in one column having the same width, but all rows or all columns are not
1462 necessarily the same height or width as in the wxGridSizer.
1463
1464 Since wxWidgets 2.5.0, wxFlexGridSizer can also size items equally in one
1465 direction but unequally ("flexibly") in the other. If the sizer is only
1466 flexible in one direction (this can be changed using wxFlexGridSizer::SetFlexibleDirection),
1467 it needs to be decided how the sizer should grow in the other ("non-flexible")
1468 direction in order to fill the available space.
1469 The wxFlexGridSizer::SetNonFlexibleGrowMode() method serves this purpose.
