How to make the wxWidgets (wx.ComboBox, wx.RadioButton) to have background of its container (wx.Panel)

I am trying to create a GUI and attempt to make it a bit
colorful and pleasing to the eyes by using bitmap as background for the
wxPanel. The problem I encounter is that when I add the widgets to the
panel such as wx.ComboBox and
wx.RadioButton, I couldn’t figure out how to make these
widgets to have the background as their container – wx.Panel.

I have tried to set the wx.ComboBox and wx.RadioButton background to SetBackgroundColour(wx.Color(wx.TRANSPARENT))
with the hope that the background of the panel will be seen through, but that
didn’t work.

I have also try to SetBackgroundColour(self.SelPanel.GetBackgroundColour())
that didn’t work either.

Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated,

My environment:

Window XP professional with SP2

Python 2.5

wxPython 2.8.6.1

Attached is my script.

Thank you VERY VERY MUCH in advance for your helps,
