I am slightly confused that the program doesn't run for you, however. Here's the exact source I ran:
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") #box.Add(item=upper_box, flag=wx.GROW) upper_sizer = wx.StaticBoxSizer(upper_box) upper_sizer.Add(wx.Button(parent=frame, label="Button")) box.Add(upper_sizer, flag=wx.GROW) frame.Show() print "running" app.MainLoop() The upper_box is displayed because it's presented as an argument to the StaticBoxSizer's creator. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd www.holdenweb.com Love me, love my blog holdenweb.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
