    @class 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 @b 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 @b before any
    siblings that are to appear inside the wxStaticBox in order to preserve the
    correct Z-Order of controls.
