Re: Ugh! I am having trouble visualizing sizers.

Yes, I see what you mean by 'like rubberbands'.
I have never seen a diagram of Sizers.
And I am trying to get an accurate visual of Sizers and how they fit together with other controls.
So, if I liken controls to a stack pancakes,
with wxFrame as the bottom pancake, and say the red pancakes are sizers and the non-red ones are other controls.
What I'd like to get confirmation on, is the positional characteristics of a sizer.
Ie., A sizer controls the THING(control) that sits directly on top of it, (Add_window_to_sizer).
And a sizer itself, sets upon the THING (control) that it is working for, as in (set_sizer)command.
So my friend, is my visual accurate. Or have I gotten it wrong?
Yep, that's correct. A sizer makes sure that everything inside of the sizer (sizers and other controls) change their size and position when the 'parent' of the sizer changes its size or shape.
