I don't know or use wxWidgets, and I've just learned GTK, but I think 
one good answer is the same as with GTK:  use a wxNotebook.  You may be 
able to hide the tabs, or you may just decide they're a good thing to 
have.

To do what you asked, see the wxWindow method Show(), which you would 
call for each or A and B etc. in response to the command.
