.SH NAME
wxPanel \- Functions for wxPanel class
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
A panel is a window on which controls are placed\&. It is usually placed within a frame\&. Its main feature over its parent class \fIwxWindow\fR\& is code for handling child windows and TAB traversal, which is implemented natively if possible (e\&.g\&. in wxGTK) or by wxWidgets itself otherwise\&.
.LP
Note: Tab traversal is implemented through an otherwise undocumented intermediate wxControlContainer class from which any class can derive in addition to the normal \fIwxWindow\fR\& base class\&. Please see and to find out how this is achieved\&.
.LP
Note: if not all characters are being intercepted by your OnKeyDown or OnChar handler, it may be because you are using the \fIwxTAB_TRAVERSAL\fR\& style, which grabs some keypresses for use by child controls\&.
.LP
Remark: By default, a panel has the same colouring as a dialog\&.
.LP
See: \fIwxDialog\fR\& 
.LP
This class is derived (and can use functions) from: \fIwxWindow\fR\& \fIwxEvtHandler\fR\&

In contrast to \fIwxWindow:setFocus/1\fR\& (see above) this will set the focus to the panel even if there are child windows in the panel\&.
.LP
This is only rarely needed\&.
