There are at least two ways I can think of:

1. create a dPanel then change the border and background, then add the label

to the panel.

2. try the dBox control and see if that can meet your needs.

If neither of the suggestions works for you then you can create a custom

control.

review how to use web type languages within a wxpython ui.

BTW I have used buttons to get a similar effect that you are looking for - my

users seem to like it.
