wx Python Label Right Align

I have a label that I want right aligned and the text to be right aligned. But when my code runs through and the label updates it, the StaticText aligns to the left of a button object. My code is below

hbox14 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
self.buttonRemove = wx.Button(self.panel,label='Remove')
self.buttonRemove.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON,self.removeAccount) # Remove account from list
self.labelSecTic = wx.StaticText(self.panel,label='0.0',style=wx.TE_RIGHT|wx.EXPAND)
self.labelSecTic.SetForegroundColour('white')
self.labelSecTic.SetBackgroundColour('black')
hbox14.Add(self.buttonRemove,proportion=0)
hbox14.Add(self.labelSecTic,proportion=1,flag=wx.ALIGN_RIGHT|wx.TE_RIGHT|wx.EXPAND)

When the label is updated I call 

self.gui.labelSecTic.SetLabel(str(self.diff))

Any suggestions on how to make the labelSecTic stay fixed to the right side of the panel? Thanks.

Solution

  • First a side note: the style wx.TE_RIGHT is for wx.TextCtrl, it probably does nothing with the static text. About your real issue, you should force layout of the hbox14 sizer. Not sure what is the sizer/panel structure of your window, you should call Layout on some ancestor of hbox14, it might be self.gui.panel or even self.gui (don't know what gui is), so for example:

    self.gui.labelSecTic.SetLabel(str(self.diff))
self.gui.Layout()

    or 

    self.gui.labelSecTic.SetLabel(str(self.diff))
self.gui.panel.Layout()
