wxPython. Create a panel with four static sized boxes.

Question

I'm trying to create a panel, with four boxes containing some data. These four boxes should have a predefined static size. What I have so far is four boxes that is overlapping to some extent.

Any ideas?

Code:

import wx

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
 def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
  wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

  self.pl = wx.Panel(self)
  self.SetSize((500, 350))

  sb = wx.StaticBox(self.pl, -1, 'BOX0', size=(180, 150))
  sat = wx.CheckBox(self.pl, -1, 'Satellite')
  gsm = wx.CheckBox(self.pl, -1, 'GSM')
  wlan = wx.CheckBox(self.pl, -1, 'WLAN')

  sb2 = wx.StaticBox(self.pl, -1, 'BOX1', size=(180, 150))
  nm2 = wx.StaticText(self.pl, -1, 'default1')

  sb3 = wx.StaticBox(self.pl, -1, 'BOX2', size=(180, 150))
  nm3 = wx.StaticText(self.pl, -1, 'default2')

  sb4 = wx.StaticBox(self.pl, -1, 'BOX3', size=(180, 150))
  nm4 = wx.StaticText(self.pl, -1, 'default3')

  box = wx.StaticBoxSizer(sb, wx.VERTICAL)
  box.Add(sat, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
  box.Add(gsm, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
  box.Add(wlan, 0, wx.ALL, 5)

  box2 = wx.StaticBoxSizer(sb2)
  box2.Add(nm2, 0, wx.ALL, 5)

  box3 = wx.StaticBoxSizer(sb3)
  box3.Add(nm3, 0, wx.ALL, 5)

  box4 = wx.StaticBoxSizer(sb4)
  box4.Add(nm4, 0, wx.ALL, 5)

  gs = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
  gs.Add(box)
  gs.Add(box2)

  gss = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
  gss.Add(box3)
  gss.Add(box4)

  gt = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
  gt.Add(gs)
  gt.Add(gss)

  self.pl.SetSizer(gt)

class MyApp(wx.App):
 def OnInit(self):
  frame = MyFrame(None, -1, '08_gridsizer.py')
  frame.Show()
  self.SetTopWindow(frame)
  return 1

if __name__ == "__main__":
 app = MyApp(0)
 app.MainLoop()

I'll just answer my own question.

The solution is to add a wx.Sizer.SetMinSize() to each wx.StaticBoxSizer() like this.

sb = wx.StaticBox(self.pl, -1, 'BOX0')
sat = wx.CheckBox(self.pl, -1, 'Satellite')
gsm = wx.CheckBox(self.pl, -1, 'GSM')
wlan = wx.CheckBox(self.pl, -1, 'WLAN')

box = wx.StaticBoxSizer(sb, wx.VERTICAL)
box.SetMinSize((180, 150))
box.Add(sat, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
box.Add(gsm, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
box.Add(wlan, 0, wx.ALL, 5)

And I removed the size argument in wx.StaticText()
