I was thinking about switching one of my projects interfaces over to  
wxruby. But before I do, I need to know: how does the clearing and  
replacing of frame (panel?) contents work in wxruby? Lets say you had a  
window divided up into three panes, and you wanted the contents of the  
third pane erased and replaced with new buttons and text. What would  
this look like in code? (Any examples would be appreciated.)

I’m going through the API, but this isn’t quite clear to me. In shoes,  
you can just take the stack or flow, call “clear” on it, and then add  
new objects within the context of the stack/flow, but I’m not sure what  
the parallel is within wxruby. This is rather fundamental to my  
interface concept, so this is why I am asking /before/ getting into  
wxruby.
