I tried, of course :-) Removing the line box.Add(item=upper_box, flag=wx.GROW) yields the remaining program import wx app = wx.PySimpleApp() frame = wx.Frame(parent=None, title="Test") box = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL) frame.SetSizer(box) upper_box = wx.StaticBox(parent=frame, label="Upper Box") upper_sizer = wx.StaticBoxSizer(upper_box) upper_sizer.Add(wx.Button(parent=frame, label="Button")) frame.Show() app.MainLoop() >> Hmm.

No prediction needed :-) I can't see how I have suggested you're not well-meaning. Regards, Matthias -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
