How to Fix Misplaced wxBoxSizer

[ColleenKobe]

Hi. I'm getting the hang of coding with sizers. They are a pleasant, useful alternative to WYSIWYG.

I have two questions for today. Both relate to my re-creation of the "target" form, below.

Here is my re-creation of the form. Normally, I would have it sized at -1,-1, but I increased its size to 800,800 so that I could display the last sizer, the one with the OK and Cancel buttons.

My questions are:

1) How can I make the wxTextCrl boxes narrower? They could all be half the width they are now. The original form is pretty compact, and I'm trying to emulate that. Here's the form with the size set to -1,-1:

2) The first three sizers for the rows appear just where you'd expect them to be, as shown. But the last sizer, Row04_BoxSizer, appears far below where it should, even though its contents (the buttons OK and Cancel) are in the correct place. How can I change where the sizer is displayed to be around the buttons? I've tried re-creating this sizer three times, from scratch (no copy and pasting), but it always appears like this, too far down.
