What that means is that the notebook's bestsize will be the max of the
bestsizes of the pages, plus room for the tabs. So it really depends on
how the sizers are configured in the child windows, etc. Also keep in
mind that normally a sizer won't resize the window it is attached to, it
only resizes and lays out the widgets it contains within the space given
to it by the window. So if you want the frame to adjust to the needs of
its contents then you will need to do something like Fit yourself.

Just put the FlexGridSizer directly in BoxSizer #1, and set the border
flags and value in the sizer item for the FlexGridSizer.
