wxPanel is-a wxCanvas

A panel is a subwindow for placing panel items, such as the wxButton and wxText item. Its parent must be a wxFrame. A panel inherits most properties from canvas, except for scrollbar functionality.

Note that a wxDialogBox may be used in a similar way to a panel.

The following event handlers are valid for the panel class:

on-default-action

Override this to intercept double clicks in listboxes.

on-command

Override this to intercept panel item commands (such as button presses). See wxCommandEvent for a list of event types associated with wxCommandEvent.

on-event

Called with a wxMouseEvent identifier. This can only be guaranteed only when the panel is in user edit mode (to be implemented).

on-paint

Called with no arguments when the panel receives a repaint event from the window manager.

on-size

The function is called with the window width and height.

wxPanel new-line

wxPanel resource

string resource

The name of the resource the panel or dialog is to be loaded from, if any. Initially the empty string.

wxPanel create

void ( create)

Creates a panel.

The following slots may be initialized if not loading from a resource.

• parent: should be a wxFrame.
• x: may be absent or -1 to denote default layout, or zero/positive integer.
• y: may be absent or -1 to denote default layout, or zero/positive integer.
• width: may be absent or -1 to denote default width, or a positive integer.
• height: may be absent or -1 to denote default height, or a positive integer.
• window-name: may be absent or a string name to identify this pane;.
• style: may be absent or a string style: see below.

The following slots should be initialized if loading from a resource (see Resource overview for further details).

• parent: should be a wxFrame.
• resource: the string name of the resource.

The style parameter may be a combination of the following, using the bitwise 'or' operator.

wxABSOLUTE_POSITIONING	A hint to the windowing system not to try native Windowing system layout (Motif only). This is the recommended style for all Motif panels and dialog boxes.
wxBORDER	Draws a thin border around the panel.
wxVSCROLL	Gives the dialog box a vertical scrollbar (XView only).

void ( on-default-action wxItem item)

A panel receives this message in response to a double click in a listbox.

wxPanel on-command

void ( on-command wxItem item wxCommandEvent command-event)

A panel or dialog box receives this message in response to a command (such as a button press), if the item has not overriden on-command. See wxCommandEvent for a list of event types associated with wxCommandEvent.
