-\wxheading{wxNotebookSizer}
-
-\helpref{wxNotebookSizer}{wxnotebooksizer} can be used
-with notebooks. It calculates the size of each
-notebook page and sets the size of the notebook to the size
-of the biggest page plus some extra space required for the
-notebook tabs and decorations.

\subsection{Programming with wxBoxSizer}\label{boxsizerprogramming}
The basic idea behind a \helpref{wxBoxSizer}{wxboxsizer} is that windows will most often be laid out in rather
}

+Note that the new way of specifying flags to wxSizer is via \helpref{wxSizerFlags}{wxsizerflags}. This class greatly eases the burden of passing flags to a wxSizer.
+
+Here's how you'd do the previous example with wxSizerFlags:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+// we want to get a dialog that is stretchable because it
+// has a text ctrl at the top and two buttons at the bottom
+
+MyDialog::MyDialog(wxFrame *parent, wxWindowID id, const wxString &title )
+ : wxDialog(parent, id, title, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize,
+ wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE | wxRESIZE_BORDER)
+{
+ wxBoxSizer *topsizer = new wxBoxSizer( wxVERTICAL );
+
+ // create text ctrl with minimal size 100x60 that is horizontally and
+ // vertically stretchable with a border width of 10
+ topsizer->Add(
+ new wxTextCtrl( this, -1, "My text.", wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(100,60), wxTE_MULTILINE),
+ wxSizerFlags(1).Align().Expand().Border(wxALL, 10));
+
+ wxBoxSizer *button_sizer = new wxBoxSizer( wxHORIZONTAL );
+
+ //create two buttons that are horizontally unstretchable,
+ // with an all-around border with a width of 10 and implicit top alignment
+ button_sizer->Add(
+ new wxButton( this, wxID_OK, "OK" ),
+ wxSizerFlags(0).Align().Border(wxALL, 10));
+
+ button_sizer->Add(
+ new wxButton( this, wxID_CANCEL, "Cancel" ),
+ wxSizerFlags(0).Align().Border(wxALL, 10));
+
+ //create a sizer with no border and centered horizontally
+ topsizer->Add(
+ button_sizer,
+ wxSizerFlags(0).Center() );
+
+ SetSizer( topsizer ); // use the sizer for layout
+
+ topsizer->SetSizeHints( this ); // set size hints to honour minimum size
+}
+\end{verbatim}

\subsection{Programming with wxGridSizer}\label{gridsizerprogramming}
\helpref{wxGridSizer}{wxgridsizer} is a sizer which lays out its children in a two-dimensional
rows or all columns are not necessarily the same height or width as in
the \helpref{wxGridSizer}{wxgridsizer}.
-\subsection{Programming with wxNotebookSizer}\label{notebooksizerprogramming}
-
-\helpref{wxNotebookSizer}{wxnotebooksizer} is a specialized sizer to make sizers work in connection
-with using notebooks. This sizer is different from any other sizer as
-you must not add any children to it - instead, it queries the notebook class itself.
-The only thing this sizer does is to determine the size of the biggest
-page of the notebook and report an adjusted minimal size to a more toplevel
-sizer.
-
-In order to query the size of notebook page, this page needs to have its
-own sizer, otherwise the wxNotebookSizer will ignore it. Notebook pages
-get their sizer by assigning one to them using \helpref{wxWindow::SetSizer}{wxwindowsetsizer}
-and setting the auto-layout option to true using
-\helpref{wxWindow::SetAutoLayout}{wxwindowsetautolayout}. Here is one
-example showing how to add a notebook page that the notebook sizer is
-aware of:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
- wxNotebook *notebook = new wxNotebook( &dialog, -1 );
- wxNotebookSizer *nbs = new wxNotebookSizer( notebook );
-
- // Add panel as notebook page
- wxPanel *panel = new wxPanel( notebook, -1 );
- notebook->AddPage( panel, "My Notebook Page" );
-
- wxBoxSizer *panelsizer = new wxBoxSizer( wxVERTICAL );
-
- // Add controls to panel and panelsizer here...
-
- panel->SetAutoLayout( true );
- panel->SetSizer( panelsizer );
-\end{verbatim}

\subsection{Programming with wxStaticBoxSizer}\label{staticboxsizerprogramming}
\helpref{wxStaticBoxSizer}{wxstaticboxsizer} is a sizer derived from wxBoxSizer but adds a static
