12 A panel is a window on which controls are placed. It is usually placed within
13 a frame. Its main feature over its parent class wxWindow is code for handling
14 child windows and TAB traversal. Since wxWidgets 2.9, there is support both
15 for TAB traversal implemented by wxWidgets itself as well as native TAB
16 traversal (such as for GTK 2.0).
7c913512 17

18 @note Tab traversal is implemented through an otherwise undocumented
19 intermediate wxControlContainer class from which any class can derive
20 in addition to the normal wxWindow base class. Please see @c wx/containr.h
21 and @c wx/panel.h to find out how this is achieved.

23 @note if not all characters are being intercepted by your OnKeyDown or
24 OnChar handler, it may be because you are using the @c wxTAB_TRAVERSAL style,
25 which grabs some keypresses for use by child controls.
26
27 @remarks By default, a panel has the same colouring as a dialog.
