wxPython help please?

Feb 1st, 2008

I'm relatively new to programming in wxPython and I have been trying to put a BoxSizer within a wx.Window. This only results in a small square (which is the panel within the BoxSizer) appearing in the window. Could somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Sample code:

  class TestPanel(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, id):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, size = (800, 400))
        
        win = wx.Window (self, -1)
        
        box = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
        panel2 = wx.Panel(win)
        panel2.SetBackgroundColour("Red")
        box.Add(panel2, 1, wx.EXPAND, 10)
        self.SetSizer(box)
 class TestPanel(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, id):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, size = (800, 400))
        
        win = wx.Window (self, -1)
        
        box = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
        panel2 = wx.Panel(win)
        panel2.SetBackgroundColour("Red")
        box.Add(panel2, 1, wx.EXPAND, 10)
        self.SetSizer(box)

Thanks in advance!
