A panel is a window on which controls are placed.
It is usually placed within a frame. Its main feature over its parent class Window is code for handling child windows and TAB traversal. Since wxWidgets 2.9, there is support both for TAB traversal implemented by wxWidgets itself as well as native TAB traversal (such as for GTK 2.0).
Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a NavigationKeyEvent parameter.
Note
By default, a panel has the same colouring as a dialog.
Note
Tab traversal is implemented through an otherwise undocumented intermediate ControlContainer class from which any class can derive in addition to the normal Window base class. Please see /containr.h and /panel.h to find out how this is achieved. if not all characters are being intercepted by your OnKeyDown or OnChar handler, it may be because you are using the TAB_TRAVERSAL style, which grabs some keypresses for use by child controls.

__init__ | Default constructor. |
AcceptsFocus | This method is overridden from Window.AcceptsFocus and returns True only if there is no child window in the panel which can accept the focus. |
Create | Used for two-step panel construction. |
InitDialog | Sends a InitDialogEvent, which in turn transfers data to the dialog via validators. |
Layout | See Window.SetAutoLayout : when auto layout is on, this function gets called automatically when the window is resized. |
SetFocus | Overrides Window.SetFocus . |
SetFocusIgnoringChildren | In contrast to SetFocus (see above) this will set the focus to the panel even if there are child windows in the panel. |

This method is overridden from Window.AcceptsFocus and returns True only if there is no child window in the panel which can accept the focus.
This is reevaluated each time a child window is added or removed from the panel.

Overrides Window.SetFocus .
This method uses the (undocumented) mix-in class ControlContainer which manages the focus and TAB logic for controls which usually have child controls.
In practice, if you call this method and the control has at least one child window, the focus will be given to the child window.
