1. Complex interfaces should be more or less evenly distributed among classes and their constructors. That's why classes exists!
2. I personally know 3 main ways of creating widgets:
2.1 As Mirek mentioned here - with Layout Designer
2.2 Program everything yourself by hand
2.3 Copy code from *.lay files and create your own programmed classes.
Which case you would like to discuss?

The package AddressBook shows how to integrate the product of the Layout Designer with the code. Unfortunately I saw strange signs like <...> , Embarassed

Embarassed

, that I do not understand yet... So points 2.1 and 2.3 cannot be discussed with me, at least not in the immediate future.

Fortunatly remains another possibility, 2.2. It should be the most general approach although at the cost to write more code lines... but I'm ready.

The current problem is to put between the menubar and the status bar a group of 4 tab pages. Each of them will contain other widgets. I've inquired the available documentation and the code example to get useful advices but both AddressBook and theIde packages use layout files. So I do not know how to let appear some thing that could resemble a tabbed window. Nevertheless I tried many weird things like that below good to open a window but without tabs.
Any advices for a minimalist approach as the example below? After that something will appear I will try to merge it with the menu and status bar and then start to fill each tab.
Thank you,
Luigi

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>

GUI_APP_MAIN
{  
    TopWindow w;
    TabCtrl tab0, tab1;

    //AddFrame(tab0);
	w.Add(tab0, "one");
	w.Add(tab1, "two");	
	w.Run();
}
