wxGlade can be told to use a descendant class when generating
code for a given widget. So in wxGlade you would see an ordinary wxNotebook,
but when you run the code you get your customised descendant.

IMHO we should have some mix-in classes which make wxGlade-generated UI class
work with the business layer.
For example, you could pass a business object to the constructor of a 
wxDialogue,
it matches the business object attributes to the widget resource names and 
loads/saves
data appropriately, so (theoretically) you could have a working widget with no 
lines
of GUI code. Of course most of the time the descendant will need to override and
do a bit extra where there isn't 1:1 correspondence between business class 
attributes and on-screen widgets.
