I usually use Box Sizers mostly, and try to avoid all the other types. They just seem complicated and not documented clearly. But whatever you decide to serve the greater good.

Good question! Two that I can think of off the top of my head are as follows:

1) Users with XML experience can create or edit GUIs without learning wxPython
2) Putting the layout stuff in XRC can help you conform to the MVC model better (the idea of separating your model and your controller)

I'm sure there are other good reasons, but I don't know what they are.

Admittedly, I haven't used a complex XRC file either.<br><br>- Mike Not that I've noticed. Admittedly, I haven't used a complex XRC file either.

I understand you can load the xml resource from different languages (python, perl, etc) and this is a plus but besides that...xml looks so awful... Mike,
