phoenix_title wx.lib.agw.aui.auibook.AuiTabContainer

AuiTabContainer is a class which contains information about each tab. It also can render an entire tab control to a specified DC. It’s not a window class itself, because this code will be used by the AuiNotebook, where it is disadvantageous to have separate windows for each tab control in the case of “docked tabs”.

A derived class, AuiTabCtrl, is an actual wx.Window - derived window which can be used as a tab control in the normal sense.
