\section{\class{wxStaticBox}}\label{wxstaticbox}

A static box is a rectangle drawn around other panel items to denote
a logical grouping of items.

Please note that a static box should {\bf not} be used as the parent for the
controls it contains, instead they should be siblings of each other. Although
using a static box as a parent might work in some versions of wxWidgets, it
results in a crash under, for example, wxGTK. 

Also, please note that because of this, the order in which you create new 
controls is important. Create your wxStaticBox control {\bf before} any 
siblings that are to appear inside the wxStaticBox in order to preserve the 
correct Z-Order of controls.
