==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.DialogLayoutAdapter**
==========================================================================================================================================

This abstract class is the base for classes that help wxWidgets perform run-time layout adaptation of dialogs. 
         

Principally, this is to cater for small displays by making part of the dialog scroll, but the application developer may find other uses for layout adaption. 

By default, there is one instance of StandardDialogLayoutAdapter which can perform adaptation for most custom dialogs and dialogs with book controls such as :ref:`wx.adv.PropertySheetDialog`.
