Do you mean to put a wxNotebook in a wxMDIChildFrame? Yes.

I don't know if you know TextPad. I mean the same way..

A main window with a wxNotebook for text-editor pages management.
Moreover a wxMDI. This means that if user choose "window->tile horizontally", the windows are displayed in the same notebook page.

There may be a way to do that, but it will be tricky. Take a look at the "MDI with SashWindows demo" in the wxMDIWindow sample in the demo. It shows how to have other windows around the edges of the MDI area of a wxMDIParentFrame. If you make the notebook only big enough to show the tabs and put it in a sash window at the top, then it woudl appear to still be controlling which MDI child is active. You can catch the notebook events and then bring the specified MDI child to the front, etc. When a MDI child is maximized then you probably want to use the notebook as normal, right? In that case then you can move the document windows out of the MDIChildFrames and into the notebook pages, and resize the sash window so it fills the MDI client area.
