Allocating 100px (+ margins) for empty listboxes in wxMSW resulted in a surprising behaviour when the best size of a listbox became (significantly) smaller after adding some items to it. One possible solution could be to ensure that all listboxes are at least as wide as empty ones, but it seems wrong to insist on always allocating 100+ px when a listbox could be much narrower. So try to mitigate the problem by making the empty listboxes narrower by default which should reduce the chance of them becoming narrower still after appending some items to them, even if it doesn't completely eliminate it. Also, as a side effect, this commit replaces non-font-and-DPI-dependent hard-coded 100px value with a more reasonable value based on text metrics.
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at http://docs.wxwidgets.org/
