===============


.. class:: SizedParent

   Mixin class for some methods used by the ``Sized*`` classes.

   .. method:: AddChild(self, child)

      This extends the default wx.Window behavior to also add the child
      to its parent's sizer, if one exists, and set default properties.
      When an entire UI layout is managed via Sizers, this helps reduce
      the amount of sizer boilerplate code that needs to be written.
      
      :param `child`: child (window or another sizer) to be added to sizer.
      :type `child`: :class:`wx.Window` or :class:`wx.Sizer`


   .. method:: GetSizerType(self)

      Return the sizer type.
      
      :rtype: `string`


   .. method:: SetSizerType(self, type, options={})

      Sets the sizer type and automatically re-assign any children
      to it.
      
      :param string `type`: sizer type, valid values are "horizontal", "vertical",
       "form", and "grid";
      :param dict `options`: dictionary of options depending on type.
