[wxperl-users] Promblems with derived GridCellEditor and SetSize

[Mark W. <ma...@ne...>]

Hello,
 
I have been trying to create a GridCellDateEditor derived from
Wx::PlGridCellEditor but I have been experiencing issues with SetSize. I
want to create an editor that uses wxDatePickerCtrl but the size of the
editor is too small to show the control properly.

The base class method SetSize makes some adjustments to the size of the
editor by making it a few pixels larger. Look at the wxGridCER demo and
compare the standard cell editor to the custom cell editor. I wanted to use
the base class method SetSize by simply not defining a SetSize method but
this caused other problems, I then tried calling $self->SUPER::SetSize but
it had similar problems. 
 
Is there any way to use the base class method SetSize from a derived table
or will I have to rewrite this logic myself? The code is fairly complex
hence my reason for attempting to use it (the whole reason encapsulation was
created in the first place).

Any assistance greatly appreciated.
 
Many thanks
Mark
