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

 323
 324     Normally, when you add an item to a sizer via wxSizer::Add, you have to
 325     specify a lot of flags and parameters which can be unwieldy. This is where
 326     wxSizerFlags comes in: it allows you to specify all parameters using the
 327     named methods instead. For example, instead of
 328
 329     @code
 330     sizer->Add(ctrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 10);
 331     @endcode
 332
 333     you can now write
 334
 335     @code
 336     sizer->Add(ctrl, wxSizerFlags().Expand().Border(wxALL, 10));
 337     @endcode
 338
 339     This is more readable and also allows you to create wxSizerFlags objects which
 340     can be reused for several sizer items.
 341
 342     @code
 343     wxSizerFlags flagsExpand(1);
 344         flagsExpand.Expand().Border(wxALL, 10);
 345
 346         sizer->Add(ctrl1, flagsExpand);
 347         sizer->Add(ctrl2, flagsExpand);
 348     @endcode
 349
 350     Note that by specification, all methods of wxSizerFlags return the wxSizerFlags
 351     object itself to allowing chaining multiple methods calls like in the examples
 352     above.

 535
 536     A flex grid sizer is a sizer which lays out its children in a two-dimensional
 537     table with all table fields in one row having the same
 538     height and all fields in one column having the same width, but all
 539     rows or all columns are not necessarily the same height or width as in
 540     the wxGridSizer.
 541
 542     Since wxWidgets 2.5.0, wxFlexGridSizer can also size items equally in one
 543     direction but unequally ("flexibly") in the other. If the sizer is only
 544     flexible in one direction (this can be changed using
 545     wxFlexGridSizer::SetFlexibleDirection),
 546     it needs to be decided how the sizer should grow in the other ("non-flexible")
 547     direction in order to fill the available space. The
 548     wxFlexGridSizer::SetNonFlexibleGrowMode method
 549     serves this purpose.

 644     @class wxSizer
 645
 646     wxSizer is the abstract base class used for laying out subwindows in a window.
 647     You
 648     cannot use wxSizer directly; instead, you will have to use one of the sizer
 649     classes derived from it. Currently there are wxBoxSizer,
 650     wxStaticBoxSizer,
 651     wxGridSizer,
 652     wxFlexGridSizer,
 653     wxWrapSizer
 654      and wxGridBagSizer.
 655
 656     The layout algorithm used by sizers in wxWidgets is closely related to layout
 657     in other GUI toolkits, such as Java's AWT, the GTK toolkit or the Qt toolkit.
 658     It is
 659     based upon the idea of the individual subwindows reporting their minimal
 660     required
 661     size and their ability to get stretched if the size of the parent window has
 662     changed.
 663     This will most often mean that the programmer does not set the original size of
 664     a dialog in the beginning, rather the dialog will be assigned a sizer and this
 665     sizer
 666     will be queried about the recommended size. The sizer in turn will query its
 667     children, which can be normal windows, empty space or other sizers, so that
 668     a hierarchy of sizers can be constructed. Note that wxSizer does not derive
 669     from wxWindow
 670     and thus does not interfere with tab ordering and requires very little
 671     resources compared
 672     to a real window on screen.
 673
 674     What makes sizers so well fitted for use in wxWidgets is the fact that every
 675     control
 676     reports its own minimal size and the algorithm can handle differences in font
 677     sizes
 678     or different window (dialog item) sizes on different platforms without
 679     problems. If e.g.
 680     the standard font as well as the overall design of Motif widgets requires more
 681     space than
 682     on Windows, the initial dialog size will automatically be bigger on Motif than
 683     on Windows.
 684
 685     Sizers may also be used to control the layout of custom drawn items on the
 686     window.  The Add(), Insert(), and Prepend() functions return a pointer to
 687     the newly added wxSizerItem. Just add empty space of the desired size and
 688     attributes, and then use the wxSizerItem::GetRect() method to determine
 689     where the drawing operations should take place.
 690
 691     Please notice that sizers, like child windows, are owned by the library and
 692     will be deleted by it which implies that they must be allocated on the
 693     heap.  However if you create a sizer and do not add it to another sizer or
 694     window, the library wouldn't be able to delete such an orphan sizer and in
 695     this, and only this, case it should be deleted explicitly.
 696
 697     @b wxPython note: If you wish to create a sizer class in wxPython you should
 698     derive the class from @c wxPySizer in order to get Python-aware
 699     capabilities for the various virtual methods.

 701     @anchor wxsizer_flags
 702     @par wxSizer flags
 703     The "flag" argument accepted by wxSizeItem constructors and other
 704     functions, e.g. wxSizer::Add(), is OR-combination of the following flags.
 705     Two main behaviours are defined using these flags. One is the border around
 706     a window: the border parameter determines the border width whereas the
 707     flags given here determine which side(s) of the item that the border will
 708     be added.  The other flags determine how the sizer item behaves when the
 709     space allotted to the sizer changes, and is somewhat dependent on the
 710     specific kind of sizer used.
 711     @beginDefList
 712     @itemdef{wxTOP<br>
 713              wxBOTTOM<br>
 714              wxLEFT<br>
 715              wxRIGHT<br>
 716              wxALL,
 717              These flags are used to specify which side(s) of the sizer item
 718              the border width will apply to.}
 719     @itemdef{wxEXPAND,
 720              The item will be expanded to fill the space assigned to the item.}
 721     @itemdef{wxSHAPED,
 722              The item will be expanded as much as possible while also
 723              maintaining its aspect ratio.}
 724     @itemdef{wxFIXED_MINSIZE,
 725              Normally wxSizers will use GetAdjustedBestSize() to determine what
 726              the minimal size of window items should be, and will use that size
 727              to calculate the layout. This allows layouts to adjust when an
 728              item changes and its best size becomes different. If you would
 729              rather have a window item stay the size it started with then use
 730              wxFIXED_MINSIZE.}
 731     @itemdef{wxRESERVE_SPACE_EVEN_IF_HIDDEN,
 732              Normally wxSizers don't allocate space for hidden windows or other
 733              items. This flag overrides this behavior so that sufficient space
 734              is allocated for the window even if it isn't visible. This makes
 735              it possible to dynamically show and hide controls without resizing
 736              parent dialog, for example. (Available since 2.8.8.)
 737              }

 740              wxALIGN_LEFT<br>
 741              wxALIGN_RIGHT<br>
 742              wxALIGN_TOP<br>
 743              wxALIGN_BOTTOM<br>

 745              wxALIGN_CENTRE_VERTICAL<br>
 746              wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL<br>
 747              wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL,
 748              The wxALIGN flags allow you to specify the alignment of the item
 749              within the space allotted to it by the sizer, adjusted for the
 750              border if any.}
