Try the following:

1) Add to FlatNotebook source code the following method:

    def EnsureVisible(self, page):
        """ Ensures that a tab is visible. """

        self._pages.DoSetSelection(page)

2) Insert this function in your script and call it every time you add
a new page and you want it visible:

    def MakeTabVisible(self, pageNum):

        # If you want to make visible the rightmost tab
        self.EnsureVisible(pageNum)


Where "self" now is really a FlatNotebook :-D . This should really go
in SVN, but I am not sure if the default behavior when adding pages to
a notebook should be to make their tabs visible if they are selected.
If this is the case, I'll go and update wxPython SVN with these
modifications.

Andrea.
