Hi *,
I have a listctrl centered inside a boxsizer, and when I resize
the window the list expands only on the right (yuk!), and I want it to
expand on both sides.
def allUsers (self, data):
box = wx.BoxSizer (wx.VERTICAL)
list = wx.ListCtrl (
self.edit_panel, -1, style = wx.LC_REPRT | wx.SUNKEN_BRDER)
list.InsertColumn (-1, "Username")
list.InsertColumn (-1, "Nome")
list.InsertColumn (-1, "Cognome")
list.InsertColumn (-1, "Telefono")
list.InsertColumn (-1, "Fax")
for u in data:
username = list.InsertStringItem (0, u [0])
name = list.SetStringItem (0, 1, u [1])
surname = list.SetStringItem (0, 2, u [2])
telephone = list.SetStringItem (0, 3, u [3])
fax = list.SetStringItem (0, 4, u [4])
box.Add (list, 0, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL | wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL, 15)
self.edit_panel.SetSizer (box)
self.edit_panel.Layout ()
TIA,
ngw

Please put this code in a small, self contained, working example, so we
can run it and see what you're talking about. Also, it's then easy to
make a quick modification and test it before making a suggestion.

Also give your version and platform info.

I don't' really understand what this means? is it no longer centered?

I mean the whole widget. I'd like it to stay on the center instead of
expanding on the right. Maybe it should expand the column labels.

Hi Nicholas,
What about this way? See attached, I used a second sizer.
Well, it's centered but it doesn't expand anymore :)
But probably what I asked wasn't really resonable
Anyway, tank you very much.
