   2
   3 A panel is a window on which controls are placed. It is usually placed within a frame.
   4 It contains minimal extra functionality over and above its parent class wxWindow; its main
   5 purpose is to be similar in appearance and functionality to a dialog, but with the flexibility of
   6 having any window as a parent.

 109 Add an event table entry for your panel class if you wish the behaviour
 110 to be different (such as keeping a user-defined
 111 background colour). If you do override this function, call \helpref{wxWindow::OnSysColourChanged}{wxwindowonsyscolourchanged} to
 112 propagate the notification to child windows and controls.
