After I watched the screencasts for how Dabo uses sizers, I really understood them a lot better. I've never used Dabo itself for GUI design, but the screencast, though it shows them in terms of that program, still gives a great visual presentation of how sizers work in general and I suggest you take a look at that: http://leafe.com/screencasts/sizers1.html http://leafe.com/screencasts/sizers2.html P.S. I suggest you post the full code to the wxPython mailing list. I'll take a look at it to see if anything strikes me, but also you will have a ton of other (more experienced) people looking at it too, and I guarantee they will spot your problem. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
