Following alex advices, i''ve used both "text/textctrl.rb" and
"etc/threaded.rb" to build my first wxApp.
I''ve changed the Sizer type mainly (from "Wx::BoxSizer" to
"Wx::FlexGridSizer").
I didn''t find the way to let @log (Wx::TextCtrl) span 2 columns. At the
time
of writing it''s growing only vertically.
And also how to get 16px filler|spacer|border (for window resizer,
bottom-right corner, on Mac OS X) for SOUTH and EAST and 5/16 px for NORTH
and WEST
What i want as a layout;
+----
5/16 px
|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------v----------+
>| |<-- 5/16
px |
| [ Fixed length Wx::Button ] [ <---------- Growable Wx::Gauge

What i''ve cut''n paste as code:
The sizer:
sizer = Wx::FlexGridSizer.new( 2, 2, 5, 5)
sizer.add_growable_col( 1, 1)
sizer.add_growable_row( 1, 1)
Three items added:
@button = Wx::Button.new(panel, :label => ''Export'')
sizer.add(button, 0, Wx::ADJUST_MINSIZE|Wx::ALL, 2 )
@gauge = Wx::Gauge.new(panel, :range => STEPS)
sizer.add(@gauge, 0, Wx::GROW|Wx::ALL, 2)
@log = LogTextCtrl.new(panel) # (LogTextCtrl < Wx::TextCtrl)
sizer.add(@log, 1, Wx::GROW|Wx::ALL, 2)

Hello Yvon, In this example, my suggestion would be to throw away FlexGridSizer, and actually use a couple of BoxSizers to get your desired effect. Here''s how I would do it: vsizer = Wx::BoxSizer.new(Wx::VERTICAL) hsizer = Wx::BoxSizer.new(Wx::HORIZONTAL) # .. create your controls .. # hsizer.add(@button,0,Wx::ADJUST_MINSIZE|Wx::ALL,2) hsizer.add(@guage,1,Wx::GROW|Wx::ALL,2) vsizer.add(hsizer,0,Wx::EXPAND|Wx::ALL,2) vsizer.add(@log,1,Wx::GROW|Wx::ALL,2) self.set_sizer(vsizer) This will create the desired effect that you want, hope this helps.

I think 95% of the time it is easier and more manageable to nest BoxSizers within one another to get complex layouts than it is to use FlexGrid or GridBag. Sizers take few resources so that''s not a problem. I''ve written quite a lot of wxRuby code and I don''t think I''ve ever used anything but BoxSizer/StaticBoxSizer and the occasional specialist sizer like Grid or StdDialogButtonSizer. Aside from the documentation, a good way to get a feel for the way sizer options work together is to look at the "wxSizer.rbw" demo inside "bigdemo", or to use a GUI designer like DialogBlocks where you can see the effect of switching on and off individual options immediately. alex
