Yes, once your sizers and sizer items are set up all sizered controls should
definitely relayout if the frame is resized.

Please have a look at the Sizer example under Examples/layout/SizersInBoa.py
Also look at the documentation under Docs/Sizers.html

What you are looking for here sounds like the RowColSizer class,
unfortunately it cannot easily be supported in Boa.

Maybe you can emulate the above by using a sizer inside the
first sizer to pack the three widgets below the one as in the example above.
