This is the documentation problem I mentioned: The answer is no, but the
way you figure that out is, uh.... knowing! :) 

The ones which are meant to be used in a Panel:
 * DrawFeature
 * SelectFeature
 * ZoomBox
 * ZoomToMaxExtent


Other controls do work work: Essentially, most of the things which
make panels work are in the base class, so just about any control can be
a panel control if it wants. For example, you could have a toolbar to
switch between Editing Mode and Dragging Mode, with two panel items --
one for NavToolbar, one for EditingToolbar -- though I've not seen that
used yet.
