StaticBoxSizer problems

[Matthias Kluwe]

Hi!

If anybody's interested, I've got an solution now.

> frame = wx.Frame(parent=None, title="Test")
> box = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
> frame.SetSizer(box)

> box.Add(item=upper_box, flag=wx.GROW)
> upper_sizer = wx.StaticBoxSizer(upper_box)

Oops. That's a thinko. upper_box is no sizer. The right line must be

box.Add(item=upper_sizer, flag=wx.GROW)

> upper_sizer.Add(wx.Button(parent=frame, label="Button"))
> frame.Show()
> app.MainLoop()

This is still to be solved.
