wxStaticBox(3)

NAME
wxStaticBox - A static box is a rectangle drawn around other windows to denote a logical grouping of items.

DESCRIPTION

Note that while the previous versions required that windows appearing inside a static box be created as its siblings (i.e. use the same parent as the static box itself), since wxWidgets 2.9.1 it is also possible to create them as children of wxStaticBox itself and you are actually encouraged to do it like this if compatibility with the previous versions is not important.

So the new recommended way to create static box is:

While the compatible - and now deprecated - way is

Also note that there is a specialized wxSizer class (wxStaticBoxSizer) which can be used as an easier way to pack items into a static box.

See:

    • wxStaticText

    • wxStaticBoxSizer

This class is derived, and can use functions, from:

    • wxControl

    • wxWindow

    • wxEvtHandler
