/**
    @class wxCollapsiblePane

    A collapsible pane is a container with an embedded button-like control
    which can be used by the user to collapse or expand the pane's contents.

    Once constructed you should use the GetPane() function to access the pane
    and add your controls inside it (i.e. use the returned pointer from
    GetPane() as parent for the controls which must go in the pane, @b not the
    wxCollapsiblePane itself!).

    Note that because of its nature of control which can dynamically (and
    drastically) change its size at run-time under user-input, when putting
    wxCollapsiblePane inside a wxSizer you should be careful to add it with a
    proportion value of zero; this is because otherwise all other windows with
    non-null proportion values will automatically resize each time the user
    expands or collapse the pane window usually resulting in a weird,
    flickering effect.

    Usage sample:

    @code
    wxCollapsiblePane *collpane = new wxCollapsiblePane(this, wxID_ANY, "Details:");

    // add the pane with a zero proportion value to the 'sz' sizer which contains it
    sz->Add(collpane, 0, wxGROW|wxALL, 5);

    // now add a test label in the collapsible pane using a sizer to layout it:
    wxWindow *win = collpane->GetPane();
    wxSizer *paneSz = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
    paneSz->Add(new wxStaticText(win, wxID_ANY, "test!"), 1, wxGROW|wxALL, 2);
    win->SetSizer(paneSz);
    paneSz->SetSizeHints(win);
    @endcode

    It is only available if @c wxUSE_COLLPANE is set to 1 (the default).

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxCP_DEFAULT_STYLE}
        The default style. It includes wxTAB_TRAVERSAL and wxBORDER_NONE.
    @style{wxCP_NO_TLW_RESIZE}
        By default wxCollapsiblePane resizes the top level window containing it
        when its own size changes. This allows to easily implement dialogs
        containing an optionally shown part, for example, and so is the default
        behaviour but can be inconvenient in some specific cases -- use this
        flag to disable this automatic parent resizing then.
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCollapsiblePaneEvent,wxNavigationKeyEvent}
    @event{EVT_COLLAPSIBLEPANE_CHANGED(id, func)}
        The user expanded or collapsed the collapsible pane.
    @event{EVT_NAVIGATION_KEY(func)}
        Process a navigation key event.
