wxPanel question

[Mike C. Fletcher]

Sounds a lot like Anand's asking for a screen-capture:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/WorkingWithImages

has a recipe for a screen capture.  It won't support doing a capture of 
a scrolled window, but a panel should work.  Vadim's approach is better 
for the general case, however, particularly if you want to be able to 
save, for instance, and entire directory's screenshots (rather than a 
page at a time).

HTH,
Mike
