wxPython - FlatNotebook help

[MrQ]

Hi, I'm having some problems with FlatNotebook.py and i hope you can help me. I'm sure that is very easy for an experinced user but i can't figured it out, i just start using wxpython.
The problem is that i don't know how to put diferent king of widgets on every notebook page. For example when i select page1, I want ot see three checkboxes and one button and when i select page2 two buttons and ten radio buttons, all in different positions than the previous page. Considering I have the following sample code how can i do that:
#code

import wx
import FlatNotebook as FNB
import random
 
class MenuEventFrame(wx.Frame):
 
    def __init__(self, parent, id):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, 'Menus', size=(450, 200), pos=(500,400))
        self.panel=wx.Panel (self, -1)
        #self.panel.SetBackgroundColour ("white")
        menuBar = wx.MenuBar()
        menu1 = wx.Menu()
        menuItem = menu1.Append(-1, "&Exit...")
        menuBar.Append(menu1, "&File")
        self.SetMenuBar(menuBar)
 
        dd="Page1"
        dd1="Page2"
        dd2="Page3"
 
        caption = "test"
 
        stil = FNB.FNB_VC8 | FNB.FNB_DROPDOWN_TABS_LIST | FNB.FNB_TABS_BORDER_SIMPLE | FNB.FNB_BACKGROUND_GRADIENT
        self.book = FNB.FlatNotebook(self, wx.ID_ANY,  style=stil)
        self.book.SetTabAreaColour(wx.Color(0,153,204))
        self.book.AddPage(self.panel, dd, True, -1)
        self.book.AddPage(self.panel, dd1, True, -1)
        self.book.AddPage(self.panel, dd2, True, -1)
        self.book.SetSelection(1)
 
 
 
    def CreatePage(self, caption):
        p = wx.Panel(self.book)
        wx.StaticText(p, -1, caption, (20,20))
        wx.TextCtrl(p, -1, "", (20,40), (150,-1))
        p.SetBackgroundColour(wx.SystemSettings_GetColour(wx.SYS_COLOUR_BTNFACE))
        return p
 
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = wx.PySimpleApp()
    frame = MenuEventFrame(parent=None, id=-1)
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()
 

#end code

In conclusion i want to show different widgets on different notebook pages and of course bind an event to every widget.
Thank you.

Thanks for the post (and you came SO close to getting the [ CODE ] tags right - instructions are on the right hand side in REPLY GUIDELINES when you reply).

Instead of

        self.book.AddPage(self.panel, dd, True, -1)
        self.book.AddPage(self.panel, dd1, True, -1)
        self.book.AddPage(self.panel, dd2, True, -1)
 

You need to create more than on panel (with the widgets that you want on each page and then:

        self.book.AddPage(self.panel1, dd, True, -1)
        self.book.AddPage(self.panel2, dd1, True, -1)
        self.book.AddPage(self.panel3, dd2, True, -1)
 

Hope that helps!

Hope that helps!

Yes, it helps, thank you very much, but now i'm having a more complex problem, I hope you can help me.
Basically what i want to do is to add a splitter window inside an flat notebook page, then inside the splitter window, on left panel add a label notebook. the problem is neither splitter window nor labelbook is created.
Here is sample code but it's obviously wrong because it's not working. Flatnotebook is created with all 4 pages but not the other ones. :

import wx
import FlatNotebook as FNB
import random
import data
import LabelBook as LB
from Resources import *
 
 
_pageTexts = ["Hello", "From", "wxPython", "LabelBook", "Demo"]
_pageIcons = ["roll.png", "charge.png", "add.png", "decrypted.png", "news.png"]
_pageColours = [wx.RED, wx.GREEN, wx.WHITE, wx.BLUE, "Pink"]
 
class Panel(wx.Panel):
 
    def __init__(self, parent, colour, label):
 
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, style=wx.BORDER_SUNKEN)
        self.SetBackgroundColour(colour)
 
        label = label + "Demo"
        static = wx.StaticText(self, -1, label, pos=(10, 10))     
 
 
class MenuEventFrame(wx.Frame):
 
    def __init__(self, parent, id):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, 'Demo', size=(640, 480), pos=(500,400))
 
        self.panel=wx.Panel (self, -1)
        self.panel1=wx.Panel (self, -1)
        self.panel2=wx.Panel (self, -1)
        self.panel3=wx.Panel (self, -1)
 
 
        #splitter window
        self.splitter = wx.SplitterWindow(self.panel, -1, style=wx.SP_3D|wx.SP_BORDER|
                                          wx.SP_LIVE_UPDATE|wx.SP_3DSASH)
        sty = wx.BORDER_SUNKEN
        p1 = wx.Window(self.splitter, style=sty)
        p1.SetBackgroundColour("blue")
        wx.StaticText(p1, -1, "Panel One", (5,5))
        p2 = wx.Window(self.splitter, style=sty)
        p2.SetBackgroundColour("sky blue")
        wx.StaticText(p2, -1, "Panel Two", (5,5))
        self.splitter.SetMinimumPaneSize(20)
        self.splitter.SplitVertically(p1, p2, -100)
        self.splitter.SetMinimumPaneSize(120)
 
 
 
        #menu bar
        menuBar = wx.MenuBar()
        menu1 = wx.Menu()
        menuItem = menu1.Append(-1, "&Exit...")
        menuBar.Append(menu1, "&File")
        self.SetMenuBar(menuBar)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnCloseMe, menuItem)
 
 
        #flat notebook
        stil = FNB.FNB_VC8 | FNB.FNB_DROPDOWN_TABS_LIST | FNB.FNB_TABS_BORDER_SIMPLE | FNB.FNB_BACKGROUND_GRADIENT
        self.book = FNB.FlatNotebook(self, wx.ID_ANY,pos=(100, 300),size=(100, 100),  style=stil)
        self.book.SetTabAreaColour(wx.Color(0,153,204))
        self.book.AddPage(self.panel, "Main Application", True, -1)
        self.book.AddPage(self.panel1, "Configuration", True, -1)
        self.book.AddPage(self.panel2, "Favorites", True, -1)
        self.book.AddPage(self.panel3, "Favorites", True, -1)
 
 
        self.book1 = LB.LabelBook(self.panel, -1, style=INB_GRADIENT_BACKGROUND)
        for indx, txts in enumerate(_pageTexts):
            label = "This is panel number %d"%(indx+1)
            self.book.AddPage(Panel(self.book1, _pageColours[indx], label),
                              txts, True, indx)
 
 
    def OnCloseMe(self, event):
        self.Close(True)
 
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = wx.PySimpleApp()
    frame = MenuEventFrame(parent=None, id=-1)
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()
 
 

I will be very grateful if you can help me with this because i'm kinda lost.

I don't know enough about splitter windows to get all the properties set just right.
For that matter I never write the GUI part of my programs. Here is what I consider to be a well-factored wx.Frame definition might look like (as generated by Boa Constructor):

#Boa:Frame:Frame1
 
import wx
 
def create(parent):
    return Frame1(parent)
 
[wxID_FRAME1, wxID_FRAME1BUTTON1, wxID_FRAME1NOTEBOOK1, wxID_FRAME1NOTEBOOK2, wxID_FRAME1PANEL1,
 wxID_FRAME1SPLITTERWINDOW1, wxID_FRAME1STATICTEXT1,

class Frame1(wx.Frame):
    def _init_coll_boxSizer1_Items(self, parent):
        # generated method, don't edit
 
        parent.AddWindow(self.panel1, 1, border=0, flag=wx.EXPAND)
 
    def _init_coll_boxSizer2_Items(self, parent):
        # generated method, don't edit

    def _init_coll_notebook2_Pages(self, parent):
        # generated method, don't edit
 
        parent.AddPage(imageId=-1, page=self.staticText1, select=True, text='Pages0')
 
    def _init_coll_notebook1_Pages(self, parent):
