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). @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 @c wx/containr.h and @c wx/panel.h to find out how this is achieved. @note if not all characters are being intercepted by your OnKeyDown or OnChar handler, it may be because you are using the @c wxTAB_TRAVERSAL style, which grabs some keypresses for use by child controls. @remarks By default, a panel has the same colouring as a dialog. @beginEventEmissionTable{wxNavigationKeyEvent} @event{EVT_NAVIGATION_KEY(func)} Process a navigation key event. @endEventTable @library{wxbase} @category{miscwnd} @see wxDialog */ class wxPanel : public wxWindow { public: /** Default constructor. */ wxPanel(); /** Constructor. @param parent The parent window. @param id An identifier for the panel. @c wxID_ANY is taken to mean a default. @param pos The panel position.
