It's real hard to intercept the navigation keys before they get stolen 
for the navigation, mainly because they are caught before the focused 
window even sees the event.  You can try using EVT_KEY_DOWN or 
EVT_CHAR_HOOK on the notebook, or maybe EVT_NAVIGATION_KEY, then you can 
make a call from the handler back to the currently active page to do 
whatever you would have done from a normal key event in that class. 
Another option is to try using one of the non-native notebooks.
