Flicker free notebooks

Is there any way of convincing the notebook widget to not flicker so badly?

To see an example, run the demo and go to Core Windows > Notebook and select
the demo tab. Then resize the window and marvel at the huge amount of
flicker due to the notebook continually erasing its entire area.

?upgrade to 2.5?

Not that this will probably help you much, but I ran the demo on 2.5 and it
doesn't flicker at all, but when running the 2.4 demo, yes it flickers +++,
so assume you are using 2.4

Try using the wx.CLIP_CHILDREN style on the notebook.

It is the 2.5.2.8 demo on Windows I was using. I don't even have 2.4 installed
on any my machines any more.

Robin's suggestion to use wx.CLIP_CHILDREN did the trick - I also had to do it
in some notebook pages that were in panels. There is still flicker of the
notebook and its tabs, but no flicker in the main area which was the big
problem for me.
