This behaviour might be not completely intuitive, but it makes it much simpler to handle the box state using a checkbox as the label control (which is by far the most common case of using box window labels). Notice that while we could add a separate EnableWithoutLabel() method to wxStaticBox to make it possible to set the state of the box directly relatively easily, it wouldn't help with using wxEVT_UPDATE_UI for managing the box state indirectly as it relies on calling Enable() only. And this solution does allow wxEVT_UPDATE_UI handlers for the box itself to work (provided the handler takes care to check for the event object being the box itself, as otherwise it would still disable the child checkbox when its wxEVT_UPDATE_UI bubbles up to the box).
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at http://docs.wxwidgets.org/
