I don't know how exactly you're doing it, but in general you'd create
a wxPanel for each tab, place all your controls on it, and then use
the notebook.addPage call to add the panel.

Right, that example pretty uses the approach I describe. The example
does have three different tabs, they just all look the same because
they are created from the same class. Please show us what exactly the
code you're using that leads to the problem you describe. I suspect
this is where things go wrong.
