wx.BoxSizer¶

The basic idea behind a box sizer is that windows will most often be laid out in rather simple basic geometry, typically in a row or a column or several hierarchies of either.

For more information, please see wx.BoxSizer.

Methods Summary¶

`__init__`	Constructor for a wx.BoxSizer.
`AddSpacer`	Adds non-stretchable space to the main orientation of the sizer only.
`CalcMin`	Implements the calculation of a box sizer’s minimal.
`GetOrientation`	Returns the orientation of the box sizer, either `wx.VERTICAL` or `wx.HORIZONTAL`.
`RepositionChildren`	Method which must be overridden in the derived sizer classes.
`SetOrientation`	Sets the orientation of the box sizer, either `wx.VERTICAL` or `wx.HORIZONTAL`.

Class API¶

class wx.BoxSizer(Sizer)¶

Possible constructors:

BoxSizer(orient: int=HORIZONTAL) -> None

The basic idea behind a box sizer is that windows will most often be laid out in rather simple basic geometry, typically in a row or a column or several hierarchies of either.

Methods¶

__init__(self, orient: int = HORIZONTAL)¶

Constructor for a wx.BoxSizer.

orient may be either of wx.VERTICAL or wx.HORIZONTAL for creating either a column sizer or a row sizer.

Parameters:: orient (int)
Return type:: None

AddSpacer(self, size: int)¶

Adds non-stretchable space to the main orientation of the sizer only.

More readable way of calling:

if boxSizer.IsVertical():

    boxSizer.Add(0, size, 0)

else:

    boxSizer.Add(size, 0, 0)

Parameters:: size (int)
Return type:: wx.SizerItem

CalcMin(self)¶

Implements the calculation of a box sizer’s minimal.

It is used internally only and must not be called by the user. Documented for information.

Return type:: wx.Size

GetOrientation(self)¶

Returns the orientation of the box sizer, either wx.VERTICAL or wx.HORIZONTAL.

Return type:: int

RepositionChildren(self, minSize: Size)¶

Method which must be overridden in the derived sizer classes.

The implementation should reposition the children using the current total size available to the sizer ( m_size ) and the size computed by the last call to CalcMin .

Parameters:: minSize (wx.Size)
Return type:: None

Added in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.3: , before this version RecalcSizes() method not taking any arguments had to be overridden in the derived classes instead.

SetOrientation(self, orient: int)¶

Sets the orientation of the box sizer, either wx.VERTICAL or wx.HORIZONTAL.

Parameters:: orient (int)
Return type:: None
