#167 "Autogrowing" components on sizers again

[Miroslav Vidiscak]

Autogrowing wxFrame when I put wxPanel to BoxSizer up
to 2154. The same happend with other 'Windows' like
'Grid', 'ScrolledWindow', etc. Is there any way how to
solve this bug? Change the width propriety of wxFrame
does not work.
The only way, how to solve this is to create wxPanel
manually byt then I am unable to use Object Inspector
to set properties and events.

Ok, I try:
I does not change any setting and I will use default name
1. Create new project (wxWidgets Frame)
2. Put BoxSizer to newProgramFrame.wxform
3. Put 'Window' component like Panel, NoteBook, Grid,
ScrolledWindow to WxBoxSizer1

And right now the problem occurs. Width of WxPanel1 is
changed up to 1612 without any chance to change to lower
value. Width and Height of Panel is stayed like Read-only value.
I can change width of frame changing Width value for
newProgramFrame, but it change to 1612 every time, when I
put other components to frame.

Ok, Now I can understand what you are saying. Thanks for the
detailed explanation (ofcourse in the simple sentences ;o) ) .

The problem with window control when dropped on to a Frame
is that they tend to occupy the whole width of the frame
(thats the normal way wxWidgets does at runtime), so the
same thing is happening here. its almost like a sizer when
dropped on to a frame without any other control.

The lesson learnt from this that the size of the Window
control depends on the Size of the Frame here(if the frame
is the immediate parent of the window control ). If you want
to resize the window Control, you have to change the size of
the frame for it. Just go ahead and change the size of the
Frame and your window control will automatically get resized.

If you still think its a problem, let me know, I'll to post
a question in the wx-user Forum and get feedback.

It's still present in 6.6 beta. It turns sizers unusable.
The cross-plataform quality is deeply based in sizers.
There's urgent to make it work properly to make wx-devcpp an
truely option for wx.

pre-release beta.
