First off, have a look at whether a Wx::Notebook might suit your 
requirements. It's intended for combining different panels. It has 
methods for switching easily between pages.

If you want to swap panels, you probably just need to destroy the old 
panel and add in the new (see below)

I'm more used to doing this within a sizer-based layout, when it goes 
something like:

new_window = MyWindow.new(old_window.parent, ...)
old_window.containing_sizer.replace(old_window, new_window)
old_window.destroy

This keeps the layout consistent

Well one problem you have is that you call it @Panel here (with a 
capital "P") and @panel later.
