wxPython and window sizing

[Ville Voipio]

I have a small problem; I would like to have a reasonable
minimum size for a wx.Window.

A simplified version of my code:


s = wx.SplitterWind ow(self, -1)

curves = wx.Notebook(s)
curve = wx.Window(curve s, ID_BLANKCURVE, style=wx.SUNKEN _BORDER,
size=(300,200))
curves.AddPage( curve, "Blank")

textbox = wx.TextCtrl(s, ID_TEXTBOX, style=wx.TE_MUL TILINE,
size=(-1,50))

s.SetMinimumPan eSize(50)
s.SplitHorizont ally(curves, textbox)
s.SetSashGravit y(0.8)


Here 'self' is the main window class, i.e. inherited from wx.Frame.

What I would like to happen is that both the curve area and the
textbox would have an absolute minimum size when moving the
sash or resizing the window.

How to get this behaviour? I have tried setting the minimum sizes
of the curve and the textbox by using the SetMinSize() method,
but this does not seem to affect anything.

Already when the window is shown the upper pane (i.e. the notebook
curves) is smaller than (300,200) set in the code.

TIA,

- Ville

Couldn't you register for a handler? It would be called on changing size or
on moving the sash's slider. And w/i that handler you could resize the
window to its min dims.

Oui, mais...

I can figure out a few ugly workarounds. However, my question is if
there is a nice and clean way to make wxPython set the minimum size.
I'd really hate to start calculating the sizes myself or making
any extra handlers, if the existing infrastructure can handle what
I want.
