transparent background for a panel widget

Yeah, the float canvas is interesting, I've looked at it and the demos. It adds something to wx-land that approximates at least a subset of the wonderful functionality of the tkinter canvas widget.

I like to think if it as a superset, actually :wink:

I've just bumped into one of those areas where wxwidgets _doesn't_ hide or transcend platform differences.

There's quite a few, really. It really comes down to the fact that a core feature (like window transparency) simply can't be supported by wx if all the platforms don't support it.

So I'm curious -- could you do what you want with FloatCanvas? A little more description of what you want would help.
