Add sizers automatically to a frame

Question

Hello!
I have a frame with some sizers in it (see code at th end for a running example). I would like to know how to repeat the sizers 2, 3 and 4 when pressing the add button. The sizers should be added before the submit button, and the control objects should have a different name because they have to be send to a MySQL database. Can anyone help?
Cheers!

Hello!
I have found a nice way to hide and then frame contents, however it is not working properly (see code at the end). I am using the ShowItems method of wx.Sizers to hide the contents in a sizer and then I bind a button to a function to show them back. However, it misplaces the controls. I've been struggling all the day with it but I haven't been able to solve it. Can anyone help?

Cheers!

Dani

Solved! I called the Layout() method of the parent window (panel) and it worked like a charm!
Cheers!
