I've been searching through the wxPython in Action book and through the wxpython.org site but I can't figure out how to make my text area resize to the size of the main frame.

in most examples they use wx.TextCtrl like this:

(Toggle Plain Text)

        self.control = wx.TextCtrl(self, 1, style=wx.TE_MULTILINE)

and the text area is automatically resized to fit the main frame.

and this is how I'm using it:

(Toggle Plain Text)

class Frame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, wx.ID_ANY, title, size = ( 200,100),
                                                style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|
                                                wx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE)
            self.makemenubar()
            self.splitwin = wx.SplitterWindow(self)
            self.pan1 = wx.Panel(self.splitwin, style=wx.SUNKEN_BORDER)
            self.pan2 = wx.Panel(self.splitwin, style=wx.SUNKEN_BORDER)

            self.pan2.Hide()
            self.splitwin.Initialize(self.pan1)
            self.splitwin.SetMinimumPaneSize(10)   
            self.splitwin.SplitVertically(self.pan1, self.pan2, 0)
            #self.SetSizer(self.splitwin)
            self.SetPosition((100, 100))


            self.text = wx.TextCtrl(self.pan1, 1, "text\n\ttext\n\t\tand more text",
								style = wx.TE_MULTILINE)
            self.text2 = wx.TextCtrl(self.pan2, 1, style = wx.TE_MULTILINE)

            self.CreateStatusBar() # A StatusBar in the bottom of the window

            horizon = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
            vert = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
            vert.Add(self.text, 1, wx.EXPAND | wx.TOP | wx.RIGHT | wx.LEFT)

can anyone tell me where I went wrong?

Any and all help is appreciated, thank you
