  48
  49     A collapsible pane is a container with an embedded button-like control
  50     which can be used by the user to collapse or expand the pane's contents.
  51
  52     Once constructed you should use the GetPane() function to access the pane
  53     and add your controls inside it (i.e. use the returned pointer from
  54     GetPane() as parent for the controls which must go in the pane, @b not the
  55     wxCollapsiblePane itself!).
  56
  57     Note that because of its nature of control which can dynamically (and
  58     drastically) change its size at run-time under user-input, when putting
  59     wxCollapsiblePane inside a wxSizer you should be careful to add it with a
  60     proportion value of zero; this is because otherwise all other windows with
  61     non-null proportion values will automatically resize each time the user
  62     expands or collapse the pane window usually resulting in a weird,
  63     flickering effect.
  64
  65     Usage sample:
  66
  67     @code
  68     wxCollapsiblePane *collpane = new wxCollapsiblePane(this, wxID_ANY, wxT("Details:"));
  69
  70     // add the pane with a zero proportion value to the 'sz' sizer which contains it
  71     sz->Add(collpane, 0, wxGROW|wxALL, 5);
  72
  73     // now add a test label in the collapsible pane using a sizer to layout it:
  74     wxWindow *win = collpane->GetPane();
  75     wxSizer *paneSz = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
  76     paneSz->Add(new wxStaticText(win, wxID_ANY, wxT("test!")), 1, wxGROW|wxALL, 2);
  77     win->SetSizer(paneSz);
  78     paneSz->SetSizeHints(win);
  79     @endcode
  80
  81     It is only available if @c wxUSE_COLLPANE is set to 1 (the default).
  82
  83     @beginStyleTable
  84     @style{wxCP_DEFAULT_STYLE}
  85         The default style. It includes wxTAB_TRAVERSAL and wxBORDER_NONE.
  86     @style{wxCP_NO_TLW_RESIZE}
  87         By default wxCollapsiblePane resizes the top level window containing it
  88         when its own size changes. This allows to easily implement dialogs
  89         containing an optionally shown part, for example, and so is the default
  90         behaviour but can be inconvenient in some specific cases -- use this
  91         flag to disable this automatic parent resizing then.
  92     @endStyleTable
  93
  94     @beginEventTable{wxCollapsiblePaneEvent}
  95     @event{EVT_COLLAPSIBLEPANE_CHANGED(id, func)}
  96            The user expanded or collapsed the collapsible pane.
