Yes, I added the EVT_KEY_DOWN event/Navigate  code to the sample, and it
works fine, (Here it is if anyone else needs an idea on how to do it)

import wx

# Set to 0 to see normal tab transversal behavior
# Set to 1 to see tab transversal stay in the notebook panel
TESTING_FIX =3D 1

ID_tc1 =3D wx.NewId()
ID_tc3 =3D wx.NewId()

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
        kwds["style"] =3D wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwds)
        self.panel_1 =3D wx.Panel(self, -1)
        self.notebook_1 =3D wx.Notebook(self.panel_1, -1, style=3D0)
        self.notebook_1_pane_1 =3D wx.Panel(self.notebook_1, -1)
        self.panel_2 =3D wx.Panel(self.notebook_1_pane_1, -1)
        self.button_1 =3D wx.Button(self.panel_1, -1, "button_1")
        self.button_2 =3D wx.Button(self.panel_1, -1, "button_2")
        self.button_3 =3D wx.Button(self.panel_1, -1, "button_3")

        if TESTING_FIX :
            self.text_ctrl_1 =3D wx.TextCtrl(self.panel_2, ID_tc1, "textctrl
1", style =3D wx.TE_PROCESS_TAB)
            self.text_ctrl_2 =3D wx.TextCtrl(self.panel_2, -1, "textctrl 2")
            self.text_ctrl_3 =3D wx.TextCtrl(self.panel_2, ID_tc3, "textctrl

            self.text_ctrl_1.Bind(wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN, self.OnKeyDown)
            self.text_ctrl_3.Bind(wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN, self.OnKeyDown)

        else :
            self.text_ctrl_1 =3D wx.TextCtrl(self.panel_2, -1, "textctrl 1")
            self.text_ctrl_2 =3D wx.TextCtrl(self.panel_2, -1, "textctrl 2")

        self.__do_layout()

    def OnKeyDown(self, evt):

        BACKWARD=3D0
        FORWARD=3D1

        # was the tab key hit?
        if evt.GetKeyCode() =3D=3D wx.WXK_TAB :

            win =3D self.FindFocus()
            if win :

                    win.Navigate(BACKWARD)
            else :
                # normal tab key...move forward
                if id =3D=3D ID_tc3 :
                    # jump to first textcontrol on panel
                    self.text_ctrl_1.SetFocus()
                    self.text_ctrl_1.SetSelection(-1,-1)
                else :

        self.Layout()

class MyApp(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        wx.InitAllImageHandlers()
        frame_1 =3D MyFrame(None, -1, "Test Frame")
        self.SetTopWindow(frame_1)
        frame_1.Show()
        return 1

if __name__ =3D=3D "__main__":
    app =3D MyApp(0)
    app.MainLoop()


My problem is this can get tedious with a notebook that can display up to 9
different panels out of a total set of 17.

I will see if I can do it at the panel or notebook level by intercepting the
EVT_NAVIGATION_KEY events.

Thanks
