Completely Newbie - wxAUI

[evstevemd]

Hello guys I want to use wxAUI manager and use it to manage frames with Notebooks in them.
The notebooks in turn have panels with amny other controls in the panel. I have never ever used this control so I have no Idea where to start! Please help me to get started, and If somenone can point me to very simple example (with may be three frames and one menu and one toolbar nothing else) I will appreciate.

Any other suggestion or help i welcomed
Cheers
Steve

I found example on wiki that someone pointed so I fiddled a bit on it.
Here is what I got. All I still don't know is if I cann add frames as I do to Panels/Notebooks. Also what is going on on mg_xxx? Second question is how do I add minimize/Maximize button apart from that x button?
Lastly do I just add menu to the frame containing manager? or there is separate Menu for wxAUI?

Thanks
