hello,

I just discovered FlatNoteBook,
it's really a great enhancement of the standard Notebook.

But I can't find one option available in Notebook: multi line tabs.
Is this possible,
or is it even left out on purpose ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki

Hi Stef,

It has been left out, I strongly think, on purpose. The original
author of the C++ implementation (Eran Ifrah) and the Python author
(myself) both think that multiline tabs are pretty much confusing. The
standard behaviour of wx.Notebook in multiline tabs is to rearrange
all the tabs once you click another row of tabs. I have never found a
practical use of multiline tabs. If you need them because you are
running out of space using standard tabs, try NotebookCtrl:

with style=NC_LEFT | NC_FIXED_WIDTH

This will allow you to put more tabs than the standard wx.Notebook or
FlatNotebook.
