What's the name of that other widget that happens to help here... Hmmm... I
think it's sash window... I'll have a look at the demo... One second,
please...

SashWindow.

It's at .../demo/wxSashWindow.py. 

Associating sash with or without tabs seems to be *very* interesting and
'elegant' and also solves the problem of looking at different parts of the
code or at different files. This is what I used to have on Emacs ;-), with
several buffers either hidden or simultaneously shown. Imagining each tab
as a buffer and having sashwindows in them would be interesting. 


Take a look at the 'wxMultiSash' demo, in the 'More Windows/Controls'
section and at the 'wxSashWindow' in the 'Core Windows/Controls' section.


Be seeing you,
