==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.adv.SashLayoutWindow**
==========================================================================================================================================

:ref:`wx.adv.SashLayoutWindow`  responds to OnCalculateLayout events generated by :ref:`wx.adv.LayoutAlgorithm`.          

It allows the application to use simple accessors to specify how the window should be laid out, rather than having to respond to events. 

The fact that the class derives from :ref:`wx.adv.SashWindow`  allows sashes to be used if required, to allow the windows to be user-resizable. 

The documentation for :ref:`wx.adv.LayoutAlgorithm`  explains the purpose of this class in more detail. 

For the window styles see :ref:`wx.adv.SashWindow`. 

This class handles the ``EVT_QUERY_LAYOUT_INFO`` and ``EVT_CALCULATE_LAYOUT`` events for you. However, if you use sashes, see :ref:`wx.adv.SashWindow`  for relevant event information. See also :ref:`wx.adv.LayoutAlgorithm`  for information about the layout events.

      :rtype: :ref:`wx.adv.LayoutOrientation`








   .. method:: OnCalculateLayout(self, event)

      The default handler for the event that is generated by :ref:`wx.adv.LayoutAlgorithm`.                  

      The implementation of this function calls :meth:`wx.adv.CalculateLayoutEvent.SetRect`   to shrink the provided size according to how much space this window takes up. For further details, see :ref:`wx.adv.LayoutAlgorithm`  and :ref:`wx.adv.CalculateLayoutEvent`.

      :type `event`: wx.adv.CalculateLayoutEvent







   .. method:: OnQueryLayoutInfo(self, event)

      The default handler for the event that is generated by OnCalculateLayout to get size, alignment and orientation information for the window.                  

      The implementation of this function uses member variables as set by accessors called by the application. 

      For further details, see :ref:`wx.adv.LayoutAlgorithm`  and :ref:`wx.adv.QueryLayoutInfoEvent`.                  


      :param `event`: 
      :type `event`: wx.adv.QueryLayoutInfoEvent







   .. method:: SetAlignment(self, alignment)

      `alignment`  is one of ``wx.adv.LAYOUT_TOP``, ``wx.adv.LAYOUT_LEFT``, ``wx.adv.LAYOUT_RIGHT``, ``wx.adv.LAYOUT_BOTTOM``.                  


      :param `alignment`: 
      :type `alignment`: wx.adv.LayoutAlignment







   .. method:: SetDefaultSize(self, size)

      Sets the default dimensions of the window.                  

      The dimension other than the orientation will be fixed to this value, and the orientation dimension will be ignored and the window stretched to fit the available space.                  


      :param `size`: 
      :type `size`: wx.Size







   .. method:: SetOrientation(self, orientation)

      Sets the orientation of the window (the direction the window will stretch in, to fill the available parent client area).                  

      `orientation`  is one of ``wx.adv.LAYOUT_HORIZONTAL``, ``wx.adv.LAYOUT_VERTICAL``.                  


      :param `orientation`: 
      :type `orientation`: wx.adv.LayoutOrientation







   .. attribute:: Alignment
