What magic and/or code should I use to cause a frame to adjust to fit the contents? When I change label text, for example... The docs led me to believe this is done automatically but that doesn''t seem to be the case... Surely I''ve missed something. :-) I''m using sizers for the layout and loading from an xrc, BTW... Thanks! Tim -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Surely I''ve missed something. :-)Try Window#set_sizer_and_fit(a_sizer) or Sizer#fit(a_window) http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/window.html#Window_setsizerandfit http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/sizer.html#Sizer_fit hth alex

One odd thing I notice is that the sizer seems to squash everything really close together. I added small spacers (2-4 pixels) between controls to try and pad things out a bit but they seem to be ignored... I also tried increasing the border sizes on the controls themselves without success. Any idea what I''m not doing correctly? Cheers, Tim -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Are you using XRC or pure ruby? If using pure ruby, check that you have included Wx::ALL or Wx::LEFT or Wx::TOP in the third argument to Sizer#add, to indicate which side of the control you wish to add a border to. See bigdemo/wxSizer.rbw for a demonstration of some of the options. If using XRC, check that you have ticked the box to specify which side you want to add a border to. In DialogBlocks, it usually sets a default border of 5 on each side. alex

I was just requiring the old version of the frame I did in code rather than the code that loaded XRC I was editing :-p Thanks for the help in any case...
