Thanks, didn't know about the Reparent() method. 

In the same example, how do I get each page to resize to the smallest possible 
size? Now Im calling self.wizard.GetPageAreaSizer().Add(self.page1), and this 
one accommondate the size of the entire wizard after the biggest page in the 
sequence.

Thanks,
