Sizers

(1/1)

I am trying to allow a space around the edges of my dialog before the edge of the dialog.  Currently, I am using FlexGridSizer with 10 spacers on 4 * 6 grid.  Is there a better way to do it?  Maybe with code instead of completely relying on wxSmith.

You need to investigate padding.  The dialog has a root sizer, to this root sizer and another sizer which has the padding you desire.  Then add the rest of your controls to this sizer, not the root one.

     I am not completely sure what you mean by padding.  I thought that is what I was doing with the flexgrid & the spacers?  I am using wxSmith, & I don't see a way to set the padding using properties.  Or are you talking about the border size of the elements added to the sizer?  Or did you mean to embed a sizer inside of another sizer?  I think this is what you mean, and then you can set the border value of the inner sizer.  I guess you meant to say "to this root sizer a[d]d another sizer" instead of "to this root sizer and another sizer".

     The second one seems to work the best.  That is better than using 10 spacers!  Thanks.  I didn't think of that.

Yes I meant "add" not "and", despite my bad English (I am American) I still managed to get the point across.  I am glad it was helpful.

jmccay:
Nah...it was not bad English.  Just bad proof reading, and we all do it.  It happens.  Thanks again.
