how to make wxpython grid automatic fit-to-window
You need to catch the window resizing event and bind it to an event handler. I have shown it in this example:
import wx.grid
class Frame ( wx.Frame ):
def __init__( self, parent ):
wx.Frame.__init__ ( self, parent, id = wx.ID_ANY, title = u"Test", pos = wx.DefaultPosition, size = wx.Size( 650,480 ), style = wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|wx.RESIZE_BORDER|wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
self.SetSizeHintsSz( wx.DefaultSize, wx.DefaultSize )
sizer = wx.BoxSizer( wx.VERTICAL )
self.panel = wx.Panel( self, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
self.inner_sizer = wx.BoxSizer( wx.VERTICAL )
self.grid = wx.grid.Grid( self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
# Grid
self.grid.CreateGrid( 10, 4 )
self.grid.EnableEditing( True )
self.grid.EnableGridLines( True )
self.grid.EnableDragGridSize( False )
self.grid.SetMargins( 0, 0 )
# Columns
self.grid.EnableDragColMove( False )
self.grid.EnableDragColSize( True )
self.grid.SetColLabelSize( 30 )
self.grid.SetColLabelAlignment( wx.ALIGN_CENTRE, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE )
# Rows
self.grid.EnableDragRowSize( True )
self.grid.SetRowLabelSize( 80 )
self.grid.SetRowLabelAlignment( wx.ALIGN_CENTRE, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE )
# Label Appearance
# Cell Defaults
self.grid.SetDefaultCellAlignment( wx.ALIGN_LEFT, wx.ALIGN_TOP )
self.inner_sizer.Add( self.grid, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, 5 )
self.panel.SetSizer( self.inner_sizer )
self.panel.Layout()
self.inner_sizer.Fit( self.panel )
sizer.Add( self.panel, 1, wx.EXPAND |wx.ALL, 0 )
self.grid.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, self.OnSize)
self.SetSizer( sizer )
self.Layout()
self.Centre( wx.BOTH )
self.Show()
def OnSize(self, event):
width, height = self.GetClientSizeTuple()
for col in range(4):
self.grid.SetColSize(col, width/(4 + 1))
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.App()
Frame(None)
app.MainLoop()
If you have a variable number of columns simply put that variable in place of 4 in OnSize
.
Use wx.EXPAND|wx.ALL
function to expand your grid
myGrid = gridlib.Grid(panel)
sizer.Add(myGrid, 1, wx.EXPAND|wx.ALL)
Edit - In my experience, I had to add the sizer to the parent window, and also add the .Fit, or it wouldn't size until it was dragged.
myGrid = gridlib.Grid(mypanel)
BS = wx.BoxSizer()
BS.AddWindow(myGrid, 1, flag=wx.EXPAND)
mypanel.SetSizer(BS) # this was important in my code
BS.Fit(mypanel) # this may only be necessary to force first fit
