Hi Is it possible to put a splitter in one of the pages of a wxnotebook? I tried it myself but the splitter (and its canvasses) were far too small (about 30x30) on the panel.

aha I see that to get used to wxmax its a good idea to play with wxformbuilder and see what is possible.

Sizer is the magic word :-) They help you to lay out your widgets - auto-resizing and fitting available areas. There's a small tutorial on how they work included with the distribution, and also here.

Well, you can still do it the "MaxGUI" way, where you specify exact locations for your widgets, but it's very inflexible. Better to lay everything out in the way you want, and just not worry about what happens if you resize, or what differences there might be if you try your app on a different platform. :-)
