How to redefine a wx.GridSizer?

Question

Hello,

I have this code:

class SoundLog(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, size=(500, 350), *args, **kwargs)
        self.SetBackgroundColour((110,110,110))
        self.sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

        pluginsNumber = len(plugins) - len(pluginsToHide)

        self.gs = wx.GridSizer(pluginsNumber, 1, 0, 0)
        pluginsList = self.getPluginsList()
        self.gs.AddMany(pluginsList)
        self.sizer.Add(self.gs, 1, wx.EXPAND)
        self.SetSizer(self.sizer)
        self.Centre()
        self.Show(True)

How can I make a function that redefines the GridSizer defined here?

Is something like this:

def redefineSizer(self):
    self.Show(False)
    pluginsNumber = len(plugins) - len(pluginsToHide)
    self.gs.Clear()
    self.sizer.Remove(self.gs)
    self.gs = wx.GridSizer(pluginsNumber, 1, 0, 0)
    print self.gs
    pluginsList = self.getPluginsList()
    self.gs.AddMany(pluginsList)
    self.sizer.Add(self.gs, 1, wx.EXPAND)
    self.SetSizer(self.sizer)
    self.Centre()
    self.Show(True)

or something like this:

def redefineSizer(self):
     pluginsNumber = len(plugins) - len(pluginsToHide)
     self.gs.SetRows(pluginsNumber)
     self.gs.Clear(deleteWindows=False)
     pluginsList = self.getPluginsList()
     self.gs.AddMany(pluginsList)
     self.SetSizer(self.sizer)

But I know (cause it's not working) that I'm missing something. What it is?

I put panels inside the GridSizer, but with an option to close them. When I close one panel, I want to redefine the GridSizer to have one row less and to remove the closed panel.

So, when I click on close, I call redefineSizer to remove that panel and update itself. That's what I want to do!

Thanks in advance :)

If you're using something like the AUI framework, you can simply create a new grid sizer, and swap out the one you've already got.
