Hello all,

 

I am trying to create a nested BoxSizer-in-a-BoxSizer. Outer sizer is vertical, inner sizer is horizontal.

 

In the horizontal sizer, I have a single button in a row which I want to align to the RIGHT. This is my code:

 my $sizer = Wx::BoxSizer->new(wxVERTICAL);
 $this->SetSizer($sizer);
...

 my $ButtonSizer = Wx::BoxSizer->new(wxHORIZONTAL);
 $sizer->Add($ButtonSizer,0,wxGROW);
 
 my $btnClose = Wx::Button->new($this,-1,'C&lose');
 $ButtonSizer->Add($btnClose,1,wxALL|wxALIGN_RIGHT,5);
...

 $sizer->SetSizeHints( $this );
 $this->SetAutoLayout(1);

The button keeps staying on the left. Can someone enligthen me on this? Thanks.

Try changing the order to 

    $ButtonSizer->Add($btnClose, ...); 

    $sizer->Add($ButtonSizer, ...); 

    $this->SetSizer($sizer);
