wxCrafter Frame design drastically differs from compiled result

Posted: Sat Feb 29, 2020 12:13 am

Hello, I've been recently using wxCrafter and it's great, love it, however (in my project) the design on wxCrafter looks this way:

And the compiled binary looks a bit different, with lots of blank space:

What can I do to remove that blank space between controls?

Thanks

P.D.: Here is the code:

Re: wxCrafter Frame style drastically different from compiled result

Without looking at all the code, I see you're doing things like:
boxSizer1->Add(boxSizer11, 1, wxALL | wxEXPAND, WXC_FROM_DIP(5));

You need to read about wxSizers. In brief, wxEXPAND stretches the sizer/contents in one orientation; and the second, proportion, parameter of '1' (or anything >0) stretches things in the other.

See also this tutorial.

Thanks for the links

Looks like the problem was that I deleted the main panel that is generated by default and put everything inside a wxBoxSizer (without a panel)

I rearranged everything so the wxBoxSizer with all the controls is inside of a main panel, which is inside of the main wxBoxSizer, and now the program looks fine after compiling
