I have the same problem. It doesn't help that wxDesigner does sizers
but doesn't do anchors via layout constraints - and Boa does anchors
but doesn't do sizers, so you can't really experiment/maintain at the
designer level with one tool. (Is it true that anchors are going away?
- I remember seeing in the wx pages that they were being deprecated.
They seem to be simple and give predictable results vis-a-vis heavily
nested sizers.)

On a related note, can a wxPython/wxDesigner user help me with the
below?
(Will crosssend to wxpython-users at lists.wxwindows.org.)

thanks,

I can't seem to find the wxDesigner tool 
to turn on parameter 2 ('option') for wxAddwindow to 
make the item stretchable along the sizer axis.

For example, change:
    item0.AddWindow( item4, 0, ...)
to
    item0.AddWindow( item4, 1, ...)

Also, if anyone has any hints/tips on using wxdesigner in practice,
I'd appreciate it. me at mikerobin.com
