The wxBoxSizer code was hiding it. Some other elements were drawn on
the same coordinates, so they were hiding each other :-)

I have taken the liberty of removing the offending lines and changing
some coordinates and some text in the code you posted in order to get
the elements to display. I am evading the problem with the wxBoxSizer
code for now. Generally speaking it's best to build GUI's by starting
from something that works and to add/change things one by one.
