in reply to Wx::Panel not rendering

What you want to do is create ($foo) a panel (or a simple window) as a child of your frame, and then use it ($foo) as a parent for your dynamically created panel.

I forget the exact reason why other than wxFrame is "special" :) If you really want to know you should ask on wx-users (http://lists.wxwidgets.org)
