10 @class wxStaticBox
11
12 A static box is a rectangle drawn around other windows to denote
13 a logical grouping of items.
14
15 Note that while the previous versions required that windows appearing
16 inside a static box be created as its siblings (i.e. use the same parent as
17 the static box itself), since wxWidgets 2.9.1 it is also possible to create
18 them as children of wxStaticBox itself and you are actually encouraged to
19 do it like this if compatibility with the previous versions is not
20 important.
21
22 So the new recommended way to create static box is:
23 @code
24 void MyFrame::CreateControls()
25 {
26 wxPanel *panel = new wxPanel(this);
27 wxStaticBox *box = new wxStaticBox(panel, wxID_ANY, "StaticBox");
28
29 new wxStaticText(box, wxID_ANY "This window is a child of the staticbox");
30 ...
31 }
32 @endcode
33
34 While the compatible -- and now deprecated -- way is
35 @code
36 wxStaticBox *box = new wxStaticBox(panel, wxID_ANY, "StaticBox");
37
38 new wxStaticText(panel, wxID_ANY "This window is a child of the panel");
39 ...
40 @endcode
41
42 Also note that there is a specialized wxSizer class (wxStaticBoxSizer) which can
43 be used as an easier way to pack items into a static box.
