import wx

########################################################################
class MyDlg(wx.Dialog):
    """"""

    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    def __init__(self):
        """Constructor"""
        wx.Dialog.__init__(self, None, title="I'm a dialog!")

        lbl = wx.StaticText(self, label="Hi from the panel's init!")
        btn = wx.Button(self, id=wx.ID_OK, label="Close me")

        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
        sizer.Add(lbl, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
        sizer.Add(btn, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
        self.SetSizer(sizer)


########################################################################
class MyPanel(wx.Panel):
    """"""

    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    def __init__(self, parent):
        """Constructor"""
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)

        # show a custom dialog
        dlg = MyDlg()
        dlg.ShowModal()
        dlg.Destroy()

        self.Bind(wx.EVT_PAINT, self.OnPaint)

    def OnPaint(self, evt):
        pdc = wx.PaintDC(self)
        try:
            dc = wx.GCDC(pdc)
        except:
            dc = pdc
        rect = wx.Rect(0,0, 100, 100)
        for RGB, pos in [((178,  34,  34), ( 50,  90)),
                         (( 35, 142,  35), (110, 150)),

            dc.SetPen(wx.Pen(penclr))
            dc.SetBrush(wx.Brush(brushclr))
            rect.SetPosition(pos)
