Summary

Sizers takes some getting used to, so don't worry if you found this chapter a bit heavy going. The best way of getting to grips with them is to play with a dialog editor such as DialogBlocks (included on the CD-ROM), experimenting with different layouts and examining the generated code. You can also look at samples/layout in your wxWidgets distribution. After you've tamed them, you'll find sizers a very powerful tool, and their ability to adapt to different platforms and languages will prove to be a huge productivity benefit.

Next, we'll look at the standard dialogs provided by wxWidgets.
