[Wxruby-users] FlexGridSizer question

=begin

I am trying to understand how FlexGridSizer works and I have written a small
test application using the latest wxRuby 0.4.0 on Win XP (Home).

I cannot get static text ''Week'', ''Day'' and
''Date'' line up above the OK button.
I have tried all combinations of ALIGN flags, but I either got the text sticking
far too close to the left edge of the dialog or come very close to the Text
Controls on the right.

Any suggestions ?
TIA,
-- shanko

[Wxruby-users] FlexGridSizer question

Have you tried without any ALIGN flags? works beautifully on wxRuby 0.3
:-)
 
e.g. change: sizer.add(week,0,
Wx::ALIGN_CENTRE_VERTICAL|Wx::ALIGN_RIGHT, 10)
to: sizer.add(week,0, Wx::ALL, 10)
 
HTH,
Assaph
 
ps. the ''10'' above has no meaning, as you forgot to add
|Wx::ALL.

[Wxruby-users] FlexGridSizer question

MessageAssaph

Yes, (Wx:ALL,10) worked the best. What I was really looking for is to be able to
specify a border of 20 on the LEFT and a border of 5 on the remaining three
sides. I guess, that is not possible.

Anyway, thanks for looking.

[Wxruby-users] FlexGridSizer question

Would this help:
    sizer.add(week,0, Wx::WEST|Wx::ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL, 15)    # label
    sizer.add(@week, 0, Wx::WEST|Wx::SOUTH|Wx::NORTH, 5)          #
widget

Remember that when you add borders around bordering widgets, you only
need to add on one side (i.e. the border-padding is cumulative from both
neighbouring widgets). 
A combination of specific borders and ALIGN_CENTER_* will keep
everything aligned nicely.
 
Something else that may work is embedding the controls in panels. Make
the top level sizer a vertical box sizer and then add panels, each with
it''s own horizontal sizer. You can then set the horizontal border
between each widgets in a panel, and the vertical borders between
panels.
 
HTH,
Assaph

[Wxruby-users] FlexGridSizer question

MessageYes, that is even better !

The option of using hierarchy of sizers is always there... I was hoping that
FlexGrid will make it less verbose.
