Highlight selected panel

Question

I have implemented an onclick method and added it to an
eventlistener for a Panel in case of a mouseclick. So whenever the
panel is clicked this method is going to be called. Now the
question is that I want to highlight the panel selected, the simple
default way where the selection clicked gets to have blue border
line. Just as if you click a textbox it gets ti have a blue border.
I want to do something similar for a panel.
How could I do something like this for a panel.

You could store the panel ID's in an array and set the ones
that are not the
event.currentTarget back to the default.
