Re: Centring hyphertextctrl widgets

Hi Dietmar,

Attached is a PDF which hopefully demonstrates "what I want" and "what I
get".

On Windows the hyperlink widget (native) does not have the ability to
align to centre (only align left and right).  By setting the wxSHAPED
style, it forces the widget to take up the minimum amount of space and
can be positioned within the sizer slot (left, centre, right, etc).

https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/overview_sizer.html

This wxwidgets 3.0 documentation link states:

    /"""/
    /Z/Then what do we do when a column sizer changes its width? This
    behaviour is controlled by /flags/ (the second parameter of the
    Add() function): Zero or no flag indicates that the window will
    preserve it is original size, wxGROW flag (same as wxEXPAND) forces
    the window to grow with the sizer, and wxSHAPED flag tells the
    window to change it is size proportionally, preserving original
    aspect ratio. When wxGROW flag is not used, the item can be aligned
    within available space. wxALIGN_LEFT, wxALIGN_TOP, wxALIGN_RIGHT,
    wxALIGN_BOTTOM, wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL and
    wxALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL do what they say. wxALIGN_CENTRE (same as
    wxALIGN_CENTER) is defined as (wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL |
    wxALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL). Default alignment is wxALIGN_LEFT |
    wxALIGN_TOP.
    /"""/

It's not a very clear description (in my opinion).  I may have
misinterpreted it, but what I am seeing is when I check wxSHAPED, the
size of the widget window is minimised and can be positioned in the
sizer slot by the layout alignment flags.

wxglade does not allow the combination of proportion=1 (or non zero) and
wxSHAPED.  Removing that constraint allows me to do what I want.

If there is another way, then I'm happy to use that too.

Brendan.
