[wxPython-users] A way to toggle hide / showing tabs in a wx(AUI)Notebook?

[Jorgen Bodde]

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for your suggestion! I will look into the code .. for now it
was a nice to have" feature and it will require some code overhaul so
I might leave that for now.. I didn't feel good with my found solution
and it seems the notebook ctrl was not happy with my approach either
;-)

Regards,
- Jorgen
