        self.InitUI()

    def InitUI(self):
        self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH)
        self.pnl = wx.Panel(self)


        # CREATE BUTTON AT POINT (20, 20)
        self.st = wx.Button(self.pnl, id = 1, label ="Button", pos =(20, 20),
                                size = wx.DefaultSize,  name ="button")
        # CREATE CURSOR OBJECT
