Instead of

void Red( chimeric_pointer<wxControl,wxTextEntry> p )
{
  p->SetBackgroundColour( *wxRED );
  p->SetValue("pending");
  p->Refresh();
}

Write:
void Red(std::Variant<wxControl,wxTextEntry> &p )
{
  std::visit(([](auto &p) {
    p/SetBackgroundColour( *wxRED );
    p.SetValue("pending");
    p.Refresh();
 }, p);
}
