dPanel is a container for other controls. It is helpful in arranging controls into logical groupings. On Windows, it is required as the "background" of a form in order for the form to look "normal".
Some of the more useful properties for dPanel:
| BackColor - (RGB tuple or color name string): The color for this panel. If you do not set this explicitly, its appearance is handled by the underlying UI toolkit, making the panel appear as a native part of the form. |
| ActiveControl - (dObject): Specifies which control in the panel has the keyboard focus. |
| Buffered - (bool): If you are doing a lot of low-level drawing (see DrawObjects), setting this to True usually improves the performance of the drawings and reduces flicker. Default=False. |
