    @class wxStaticBox

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

    Note that while the previous versions required that windows appearing
    inside a static box be created as its siblings (i.e. use the same parent as
    the static box itself), since wxWidgets 2.9.1 it is also possible to create
    them as children of wxStaticBox itself and you are actually encouraged to
    do it like this if compatibility with the previous versions is not
    important.

    So the new recommended way to create static box is:
    @code
        void MyFrame::CreateControls()
        {
            wxPanel *panel = new wxPanel(this);
            wxStaticBox *box = new wxStaticBox(panel, wxID_ANY, "StaticBox");

            new wxStaticText(box, wxID_ANY "This window is a child of the staticbox");
            ...
        }
    @endcode

    While the compatible -- and now deprecated -- way is
    @code
            wxStaticBox *box = new wxStaticBox(panel, wxID_ANY, "StaticBox");

            new wxStaticText(panel, wxID_ANY "This window is a child of the panel");
            ...
    @endcode

    Also note that there is a specialized wxSizer class (wxStaticBoxSizer) which can
    be used as an easier way to pack items into a static box.
