Hi James,
Well really I find sizers are a bit problematic too. At the beginning I
did them just as you are doing. Then I started drawing the more
complicated ones out on a piece of paper before starting and now I have
a standard layout which I reuse so that I have a standard header, a main
panel and a standard footer with a standard set of buttons in it. The
main panel still requires some thinking, but I would have used the
nested sizers idea that you used. Wx::GridBagSizer is a bit more
complicated, but would also have worked, that way you might have been
able to do the whole thing with one sizer.
Regarding the memory leak, I thought I had it. I made a number of
changes to make the code more streamlined and efficient and lo and
behold the leak disappeared only to pop up else where.
It's driving me a bit crazier than I was anyway, and worse, I don't even
know if it's causing the video crash! Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks for asking,
Steve.

Solved... via trial and error and error and error...
Made the top level sizer horizontal, containing a left and right
vertical, containing text controls, bitmap, and buttons.
Will post once I add a few more bells and whistles.
Thanks again,
James

Steve, thanks! Did the job.
But, of course, one question leads to at least one more.....
I would like the bitmap to be displayed to the right of a column
of TextCtrls. Currently the TextCtrls are being displayed under
the bitmap now that I'm not using an onPaint event . Do I need to
create two sub-panels with sub-sizers, one for the bitmap and one
for the TextCtrls? Or should the top sizer be a horzontal rather
than vertical? Trying to make some sense of this sizer stuff.
James
PS: Did you find your memory leak?

Hi James,
You want Wx::StaticBitmap, like this:
my $bmp = Wx::Bitmap->new("path/to/bitmap.png",
wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG) ;
my $sbm = Wx::StaticBitmap->new($parent, wxID_ANY, $bmp,
wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, );
$sizer->Add($sbm, 0, 0, 0);
Regards
Steve.

Good day!
I'm working on a little app to design common emitter
amplifiers. I created a circuit schematic with Eagle and
exported it to a PNG file.
I am currently displaying the PNG at a fixed location of
the screen with:
Wx::Event::EVT_PAINT($self, sub {
my ($self, $event) = @_;
My $dc = Wx::PaintDC->new($self);
my $bmp = Wx::Bitmap->new("CEAmpImg.png,
wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG);
$dc->DrawBitmap($bmp, 150, 50, 1);});
If would be nice if I could blend this in with the sizers
that are controlling the layout of the input and output
TextCtrls.
Thanks for your ideas.
James
