I used MDI and AUI to get managed panes surrounding a central MDI area
(i.e. Visual-Studio like). I derived my frame from wxMDIParentFrame. In
the frame constructor the AUI manager is told to manager the frame:

    m_mgr.SetManagedWindow(this);

Then I make the MDI client window the AUI center pane (this may wrap):

    m_mgr.AddPane(GetClientWindow(),
wxAUIPaneInfo().Name(wxT("Images").CenterPane().PaneBorder(false));

managed panes are added in a similar fashion.
