Solving a WxPython Problem: Creating a Window with a Grid

[Tiiba]

I've been trying for days to create a window that contains two grids, or a grid and another - any - window. I tried placing them on my own. I tried sizers. No use. It always goes gray.

I asked for help on the usenet. No use. Now I come here.

from wxPython.wx import *
from wxPython.grid import *
from time import *

GameFrameID = wxNewId()
GridID = wxNewId()
ControlID = wxNewId()


class GameFrame(wxFrame):
    def __init__(self, parent, title):
        wxFrame.__init__(self, parent, GameFrameID, title, size = (500, 500))

        board = wxGrid(parent = self, id = GridID)
        board.CreateGrid(numCols = 25, numRows = 25)
        board.DisableCellEditControl()
        board.DisableDragGridSize()
        board.SetColLabelSize(0)
        board.SetRowLabelSize(0)
        board.SetDefaultColSize(15, 1)
        board.SetDefaultRowSize(15, 1)

        boardbottom = board.GetDefaultRowSize() * board.GetNumberRows()
        boardright = board.GetDefaultColSize() * board.GetNumberCols()

        control = wxGrid(parent = self, id = ControlID)
        control.CreateGrid(numCols = 5, numRows = 1)
        control.DisableCellEditControl()
        control.DisableDragGridSize()
        control.SetColLabelSize(0)
        control.SetRowLabelSize(0)

        self.board = board
        self.boardbottom = boardbottom
        self.boardright = boardright
        self.control = control

        self.sizer = wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL)
        self.sizer.Add(self.board)
        self.sizer.Add(self.control)

        self.SetSizer(self.sizer)
        self.SetAutoLayout(true)
        self.sizer.Fit(self)
        
        
        
        self.Show()

app = wxPySimpleApp()
frame = GameFrame(None, "wxClick")
app.MainLoop()

</code>Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!A:You need to use a <code>wxBoxSizer</code> to layout the two grids. Here's an example showing how to do it.<code>import wxfrom wx.grid import Gridclass MyFrame(wx.Frame): def __init__(self, parent): wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, 'My Frame', size=(500, 500)) # Create the first grid grid1 = Grid(self) grid1.CreateGrid(25, 25) # Create the second grid grid2 = Grid(self) grid2.CreateGrid(1, 5) # Use a sizer to layout the two grids sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL) sizer.Add(grid1, 1, wx.EXPAND) sizer.Add(grid2, 0, wx.EXPAND) self.SetSizer(sizer)if __name__ == '__main__': app = wx.App() frame = MyFrame(None) frame.Show() app.MainLoop()</code>

It sounds like you are having trouble with the layout and sizing of your grids within the window. One suggestion would be to use a wx.GridBagSizer instead of a wxBoxSizer. This will allow you to specify the exact position and size of each grid within the window. You can also use the wx.EXPAND flag to ensure that the grids fill the available space in the window.

Another option would be to use the wx.FlexGridSizer, which allows for more flexibility in the layout of the grids. You can specify the number of rows and columns and then add the grids to the sizer in the desired positions.

Additionally, make sure to call self.Layout() after adding the grids to the sizer to ensure that the layout is updated properly.

If these suggestions do not solve your problem, it would be helpful to see more of the code and perhaps a screenshot of the issue you are experiencing. With more information, we can provide more specific advice to help you solve the problem.
