    @class wxStaticBox

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

    Please note that a static box should @b not be used as the parent for the
    controls it contains, instead they should be @b siblings of each other.
    Although using a static box as a parent might work in some ports of wxWidgets,
    it would result in a crash under, for example, wxGTK, and thus it's explicitely
    disallowed (an assertion will fail if you try to add children to a wxStaticBox).

    Also, please note that because of this, the order in which you create new
    controls is important. Create your wxStaticBox control @b before any
    siblings that are to appear inside the wxStaticBox in order to preserve the
    correct Z-order of controls.
    
    You may want to use wxStaticBoxSizer instead of wxStaticBox to avoid this problem.
