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