\section{\class{wxPanel}}\label{wxpanel}
-A panel is a window on which controls are placed. It is usually placed within a frame.
-It contains minimal extra functionality over and above its parent class wxWindow; its main
-purpose is to be similar in appearance and functionality to a dialog, but with the flexibility of
-having any window as a parent.
+A panel is a window on which controls are placed. It is usually placed within
+a frame. Its main feature over its parent class wxWindow is code for handling
+child windows and TAB traversal. Since wxWidgets 2.9, there is support both
+for TAB traversal implemented by wxWidgets itself as well as native TAB
+traversal (such as for GTK 2.0).
+
+{\it Note:} Tab traversal is implemented through an otherwise undocumented
+intermediate wxControlContainer class from which any class can derive
+in addition to the normal wxWindow base class. Please see <wx/containr.h>
+and <wx/panel.h> to find out how this is achieved.
+
+{\it Note:} if not all characters are being intercepted by your OnKeyDown or
+OnChar handler, it may be because you are using the wxTAB\_TRAVERSAL style,
+which grabs some keypresses for use by child controls.

\wxheading{Window styles}
There are no specific styles for this window.
By default, a panel has the same colouring as a dialog.
-A panel may be loaded from a wxWindows resource file (extension {\tt wxr}).

+\membersection{wxPanel::AcceptsFocus}\label{wxpanelacceptsfocus}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{AcceptsFocus}{\void}
+
+This method is overridden from \helpref{wxWindow::AcceptsFocus}{wxwindowacceptsfocus}
+and returns true only if there is no child window in the panel which
+can accept the focus. This is reevaluated each time a child
+window is added or removed from the panel.

\func{void}{InitDialog}{\void}
-Sends an \helpref{wxWindow::OnInitDialog}{wxwindowoninitdialog} event, which
+Sends a \helpref{wxInitDialogEvent}{wxinitdialogevent}, which
in turn transfers data to the dialog via validators.

\membersection{wxPanel::OnSysColourChanged}\label{wxpanelonsyscolourchanged}
Changes the panel's colour to conform to the current settings (Windows only).
Add an event table entry for your panel class if you wish the behaviour
to be different (such as keeping a user-defined
-background colour). If you do override this function, call \helpref{wxWindow::OnSysColourChanged}{wxwindowonsyscolourchanged} to
+background colour). If you do override this function, call wxEvent::Skip to
propagate the notification to child windows and controls.

+\membersection{wxPanel::SetFocus}\label{wxpanelsetfocus}
+
+\func{virtual void}{SetFocus}{\void}
+
+Overrides \helpref{wxWindow::SetFocus}{wxwindowsetfocus}. This method
+uses the (undocumented) mix-in class wxControlContainer which manages
+the focus and TAB logic for controls which usually have child controls.
+In practice, if you call this method and the control has at least
+one child window, the focus will be given to the child window.

+\func{virtual void}{SetFocusIgnoringChildren}{\void}
+
+In contrast to \helpref{wxPanel::SetFocus}{wxpanelsetfocus} (see above)
+this will set the focus to the panel even if there are child windows
+in the panel. This is only rarely needed.
