Seems to me that you would do one of two things (possibly both?).  You'd 
create a new sizer in that area and just loop through the array adding new 
elements to the sizer accordingly, or you'd put a panel or some scrollable 
widget, then a sizer, and then loop the array adding new elements to the 
sizer.  The second option means it'll size with the dialog without forcing 
the dialog to be too big, possibly bigger than the screen.

So your dialog would have this sort of tree (better set to use a fixed font 
for this):

Dialog
   Panel
      Sizer
         SOme edit gadget
         Antoher edit gadget
         Scrollable widget   // This is the problem I'm solving here ;)
            Sizer
                First array element
                Second array element
         Yet another widget
