There are lots of benefits going that direction, maybe someone else will give a reply.

Yeah, I know. I share the same opinion with you. But, I don't have the time to learn by hand rather by using RAD tool (wxSmith)  :(. To bad...

byo:
Writing the code by hand won't change anything - wxFlatNotebook must be compiled manually in both situations, using RAD or not doesn't change anything.

I can provide some guide on how to do it but not now, maybe next week.

Currently you can use standard wxNotebook - it's built in into wxWidgets so you won't have any problems with it.

Yes, I understand. I didn' mean that it will work with wxSmith without compiling. What I was saying is that maybe it is better to code program by hand then by using wxSmith. wxSmith is a good RAD tool, but using it I will never learn the principles, basics. I mean, wxSmith's job is to hide a complexity of a code, the "boring" stuff. But I will never learn this comlexity unless I get my hands dirty. Right?

And thanks byo, I will use the standard wxNotebook for now. And one more question. What about wxMDIParentFrame and wxMDIChildFrame? Will they be intergrated in wxSmith?

You might consider wxAUINotebook.
It has some advanced features like tab-dragging but it is still included with wxWidgets.
It is a nearly drop-in replacement for wxFlatNotebook or wxNotebook.

Currently I had to really slow down the development of wxSmith so it won't be anytime soon.

This one is very good component (Code::Blocks uses it). wxSmith doesn't support it either (I don't know how about wxFormBuilder right now), but wxAUINotebook is more likely to be added before MDI stuff.

And as you said - the best way to learn wxWidgets is to write some small applications by hand. wxSmith and other RADs are really helpful in case of bigger resources when writing code by becomes little bit complicated, boring and may suffer from many accidential mistakes. So it's good to get hands dirty ;)
