2
3A panel is a window on which controls are placed. It is usually placed within a frame.
4It contains minimal extra functionality over and above its parent class wxWindow; its main
5purpose is to be similar in appearance and functionality to a dialog, but with the flexibility of
6having any window as a parent.
7
8{\it Note:} if not all characters are being intercepted by your OnKeyDown or OnChar handler,
9it may be because you are using the wxTAB\_TRAVERSAL style, which grabs some keypresses for use
10by child controls.

127propagate the notification to child windows and controls.
