making a clock face

Hello,


In something I am working on I have the desire to create a screen which 
has in the top a button and a text box,

The center of the screen should then be a clock face,

Then at the bottom there should be a long text box showing the date.


I know for the most part how to implement this and almost have the 
confidence to say I could draw a clock, at least a basic clock, using 
the wx.PaintDC but can this be drawn on a panel?


More to the point, surely there is an easier way of doing this, I feel 
rather like I am reinventing the wheel.

Related to this I looked into wx.lib.analogclock but did not see a way 
to update it with the time?

So I'd want to make it so that the hands appear to show what the current 
time is, and shift in relation to this for each second.

I figured I'd have:

sizer 1 at the top for the button and text box.

sizer 2 with wx.ALIGN_CENTER for the clock

And sizer 3 for the long date bar at the bottom.

On that topic though how can I stretch out a text box to make it, if not 
the length of the bottom of the screen, than at least align itself to 
the same width as the clock itself?


Having written this, I admit to wondering if I'm simply going to have to 
draw it by hand, using calculations off of the screen size to roughly 
place things and hope for the best.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Nathan
