--- Quote from: DaveJ61 on January 11, 2013, 05:29:06 am ---With WXSmith, you need to use sizers with either horizontal or vertical orientation properties set to be able to add new controls or to just create a space. This increases the size of the dialog in whatever direction you have set the sizers orientation.

Not only with wx(SMith/Widgets), but with many other UI toolsets, including QT and Java for example. Its basically a more modern UI design paradigm. Absolute positioning of controls is supported by wxWidgets in principle (and wxSmith, too, if you tweak it), but not recommended at all. You should make yourself familiar wit the sizer concept as it is state-of-the-art and way more flexible.

Search wxWidgets docs / WiKi / forums about resources on the concept and you'll see what I mean.
