cannot use wxSizer directly; instead, you will have to use one of the sizer
classes derived from it. Currently there are \helpref{wxBoxSizer}{wxboxsizer},
\helpref{wxStaticBoxSizer}{wxstaticboxsizer},
-\helpref{wxGridSizer}{wxgridsizer}
-\helpref{wxFlexGridSizer}{wxflexgridsizer} and \helpref{wxGridBagSizer}{wxgridbagsizer}.
+\helpref{wxGridSizer}{wxgridsizer},
+\helpref{wxFlexGridSizer}{wxflexgridsizer},
+\helpref{wxWrapSizer}{wxwrapsizer}
+ and \helpref{wxGridBagSizer}{wxgridbagsizer}.
The layout algorithm used by sizers in wxWidgets is closely related to layout
in other GUI toolkits, such as Java's AWT, the GTK toolkit or the Qt toolkit. It is
method to determine where the drawing operations should take place.
+Please notice that sizers, like child windows, are owned by the library and
+will be deleted by it which implies that they must be allocated on the heap.
+However if you create a sizer and do not add it to another sizer or window, the
+library wouldn't be able to delete such an orphan sizer and in this, and only
+this, case it should be deleted explicitly.
+
\pythonnote{If you wish to create a sizer class in wxPython you should
derive the class from {\tt wxPySizer} in order to get Python-aware
capabilities for the various virtual methods.}

+\func{wxSizerItem *}{GetItemById}{\param{int }{id}, \param{bool }{recursive = false}}
+
+Finds item of the sizer which has the given \arg{id}. This \arg{id} is not the
+window id but the id of the wxSizerItem itself. This is mainly useful for
+retrieving the sizers created from XRC resources.
+
+Use parameter \arg{recursive} to search in subsizers too.

\func{void}{SetSizeHints}{\param{wxWindow* }{window}}
-Tell the sizer to set (and \helpref{Fit}{wxsizerfit}) the minimal size of the \arg{window} to
-match the sizer's minimal size. This is commonly done in the constructor of the window itself,
-see sample in the description of \helpref{wxBoxSizer}{wxboxsizer} if the window is resizable
-(as are many dialogs under Unix and frames on probably all platforms).
+This method first calls \helpref{wxSizer::Fit}{wxsizerfit} and then
+\helpref{SetSizeHints}{wxtoplevelwindowsetsizehints} on the {\it window}
+passed to it. This only makes sense when {\it window} is actually a
+\helpref{wxTopLevelWindow}{wxtoplevelwindow} such as a wxFrame or a
+wxDialog, since SetSizeHints only has any effect in these classes.
+It does nothing in normal windows or controls.
+This method is commonly invoked in the constructor of a toplevel window itself
+(see the sample in the description of \helpref{wxBoxSizer}{wxboxsizer}) if the
+toplevel window is resizable.

example, instead of
\begin{verbatim}
- sizer->Add(ctrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxBORDER, 10);
+ sizer->Add(ctrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 10);
\end{verbatim}
you can now write
object itself to allowing chaining multiple methods calls like in the examples
above.
