Creating Tabed Guis - The Right Way

tabstherightway.py

import wx

class Gui(wx.Frame): #create a wx frame object
	def __init__ (self, parent=None, *args, **kwarg): #set initial parameters
		super(Gui, self).__init__(None, -1, "Example", size = (300, 250)) #pass these paramenters to my wx.Frame object
		
		Notebook = wx.Notebook(self) #creates a notebook which is a child of out wx.Frame
		
		#here is where we get organised, we create a dictionary to reference each tab by name
		Tab_By_Name = {
						"Chatz" : wx.Panel(Notebook),
						"Forumz" : wx.Panel(Notebook),
						"Coolz" : wx.Panel(Notebook), 
						"Anotherz" : wx.Panel(Notebook), 
						} #we name each tab, and assign it to a Panel object which is a child of our notebook object
		for Tab in Tab_By_Name: #now we are going to iterate through our dictionary
			Notebook.AddPage(Tab_By_Name[Tab], Tab) #and for each entry, add the panel object to our notebook using the names from our dictionary
			
			
		#now if we want too call on an tab object, we can use Tab_By_Nam['Tab Name']
