+Sizers may also be used to control the layout of custom drawn items on the window.  The
+Add, Insert, and Prepend functions return a pointer to the newly added wxSizerItem. Just

+
+Detaches the given \arg{oldwin}, \arg{oldsz} child from the sizer and 
+replaces it with the given window, sizer, or wxSizerItem.
+
+The detached child is removed {\bf only} if it is a sizer or a spacer
+(because windows are owned by their parent window, not the sizer).
+
+Use parameter \arg{recursive} to search the given element recursively in subsizers.
+
+
+This method does not cause any layout or resizing to take place, call
+\helpref{wxSizer::Layout}{wxsizerlayout} to update the layout "on screen" after replacing a
+child from the sizer.

 
 Returns true if the child item was found and removed, false otherwise.

+
+Normally, when you add an item to a sizer via 
+\helpref{wxSizer::Add}{wxsizeradd}, you have to specify a lot of flags and
+parameters which can be unwieldy. This is where wxSizerFlags comes in: it
+allows you to specify all parameters using the named methods instead. For
+example, instead of
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+    sizer->Add(ctrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 10);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+you can now write
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+    sizer->Add(ctrl, wxSizerFlags().Expand().Border(10));
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This is more readable and also allows you to create wxSizerFlags objects which
+can be reused for several sizer items.
+\begin{verbatim}
+    wxSizerFlags flagsExpand(1);
+    flagsExpand.Expand().Border(10);
+
+    sizer->Add(ctrl1, flagsExpand);
+    sizer->Add(ctrl2, flagsExpand);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Note that by specification, all methods of wxSizerFlags return the wxSizerFlags
+object itself to allowing chaining multiple methods calls like in the examples
+above.
