I would like an example of how one can create a Frame and then create two Panels --- one that is inside and the other outside. If this is impossible then how can a Panel be moved outside it's Frame?
Best regards.
Hi,
I would like an example of how one can create a Frame and then create two
Panels --- one that is inside and the other outside. If this is impossible
then how can a Panel be moved outside it's Frame?
You cannot.
A Panel is an entity that should be embedded into a frame or a dialog
or any toplevel window. If you need to create a panel outside a frame,
just create another frame and embed the second panel in it. Or use AUI
to handle this situation in a smarter way.

Er, to my knowledge every object has to be held within its parent
object. Since the Frame owns both Panels, it must also contain both
Panels. They can overlap each other but they can't be outside the
Frame.
You can get an apparently free-floating Panel by creating a Frame with
a style of 0, though. This will omit the title bar and bordering.
Unfortunately, there's no event you can bind to when a Frame is moved
(as far as I'm aware) so you can't have that style-less Frame follow
another Frame around.

This would be ok for my purposes (I only need to edit regions of the bitmap in the floating panel)

Not sure what you mean here, Chris.
Note, I had a problem with my email server when my first email on this subject was sent and thus, I followed it up with another.

What I meant is that if you want to "attach" your apparently
free-floating panel to another frame, then you need to know when that
frame moves, so you can move the panel's frame as well. But there's no
"frame moved" event that you can catch, so far as I'm aware.
If you don't care about frames moving around, then don't worry about it.

Nonononono, there is only one true AUI, the one in wx.lib.agw.aui 
. Moreover, you shouldn't run the MDI demos in any case, because as
far as I understand this is not what you are after.
Try and run the AUI demo under the AGW library and see what happens.
As an alternative, try and run the original wx.aui sample
(AUI_DockingWindowMgr) from the demo.

They are suggesting that AUI can be used to manage your floating panel, with the added benefit that it can also allow that panel to be docked or undocked in the main frame by the user.

Ahh, I didn't see that on the list of events that wx.Frame processes here:
