In this tutorial, I will take my code from the GridSizer tutorial I wrote the other day and heavily modify it to display oddly shaped widgets in a GridBagSizer. The GridBagSizer is the most complex of the sizers. It subclasses the FlexGridSizer, so you can use all of it's parent's methods as well as those […]

In my last post, I created a generic form in wxPython using only wx.BoxSizers for automatic sizing of my widgets. This time, I am adding on to my previous example using a wx.GridSizer to show the following: How to right-align the icon and the label How to vertically align the label with the text control […]
I volunteered to write some tutorials on common GUI layouts in wxPython. The following example came from Malcolm, one of the members of the wxPython user's group.

In it, we would map drives based on either which group the user was in and/or what a custom registry entry said. Here is a partial example of each of these categories in Kixtart: IF READVALUE("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MyOrg", […]
