:-) Thanks Mark. I know that, but what I am not sure is...
If I use another style in the constructor, which is not set by default, are the default styles still used if they are not explicitly used? If no, then I understand why you need to use wxTAB_TRAVERSAL in the panel constructor. If the default styles are used anyway, then I don't understand why you also need to use wxTAB_TRAVERSAL explicitly.
