Do we have a notebookish control where the tabs can be stacked on the left?
In the demo the wx.NoteBook can be given a wx.BK_LEFT style but that causes the tabs to be vertical and doesn't look so good. The wx.Listbook is closer.
Thanks,
Michael

I believe wx.Listbook is what you want.

Thanks. As noted in my email I've looked at Listbook. I was hoping for something that had a visual appearance more like tabs (where there is more of a visual link between the content and the selector) and more compact.
Thanks,
Michael

wx.Toolbook oriented wx.BK_LEFT maybe gets you closer still? Try it in the Demo. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen any GUI with horizontal tabs running down the side. It seems like it would just look awkward, since the long axis of each tab is perpendicular to the axis of the stack of them.

A long time ago there was a custom control called NotebookCtrl:

Which was able to accomplish what you are asking for. Unfortunately,
it had become a bit complex to maintain so it never made it into AGW,
but it's still out there just in case you wish to try it.

Thanks. At first blush Toolbook would seem to be exactly like Listbook. But, to my eyes, it has a more attractive appearance than Listbook when the tabs are on the side. I think I will work with it for now especially since it is built into wxPython.
Thanks,
Michael
