The basic idea behind a box sizer is that windows will most often be laid out in rather
simple basic geomerty, typically in a row or a column or several hierachies of either.
As an exmaple, we will construct a dialog that will contain a text field at the top and
As an example, we will construct a dialog that will contain a text field at the top and
two buttons at the bottom. This can be seen as a top-hierarchy column with the text at
the top and buttons at the bottom and a low-hierchary row with an OK button to the left
and a Cancel button to the right. In many cases (particulary dialogs under Unix and

As mentioned above, any window belonging to a sizer may have border, and it can be specified

constants or wxALL for all directions (and you may also use wxNORTH, wxWEST etc instead). These

a sizer and its children can be controlled by the three parameters of the Add() method.
