StaticBoxSizer

StaticBoxSizer is a sizer derived from BoxSizer but adds a static box around the sizer.

The static box may be either created independently or the sizer may create it itself as a convenience. In any case, the sizer owns the StaticBox control and will delete it in the StaticBoxSizer destructor.

Note that since wxWidgets 2.9.1 you are encouraged to create the windows which are added to StaticBoxSizer as children of StaticBox itself, see this class documentation for more details.

Example of use of this class:

def CreateControls(self):

    panel = wx.Panel(self)
    # Other controls here...

    sz = wx.StaticBoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL, panel, "Box")
    sz.Add(wx.StaticText(sz.GetStaticBox(), wx.ID_ANY,
                         "This window is a child of the staticbox"))

    # Other code...
