Sounds like that control is something custom written for Delphi. You should be able to accomplish the same thing with a wxScrolledWindow and a vertical wxBoxSizer. Here's an example:

include wxeud.e
without warning 
 
constant  
    main        = create( wxFrame, {0, -1, "Scrolled Window Demo", -1, -1, 400, 300} ), 
    scrollwin   = create( wxScrolledWindow, {main, new_id(), -1, -1, -1, -1, 0} ), 
    scrollbox   = create( wxBoxSizer, {wxVERTICAL} ) 
 
set_sizer( scrollwin, scrollbox ) 
set_scrollbars( scrollwin, 0, 20, 0, 50, 0, 0, 0 ) 
 
-- fill the window with some buttons 
atom tempbtn 
for i = 1 to 20 do 
    tempbtn = create( wxButton, {scrollwin, -1, sprintf("Button %d", i), 0, 0, 90, 60} ) 
    add_window_to_sizer( scrollbox, tempbtn, 0, wxGROW, 0 ) 
end for 
 
wxMain( main ) 

You can apply foreground and background colors to buttons. It's not the most elegant method, but it certainly works. I will see if I can get flat buttons working. Right now, wxNO_BORDER does not produce a flat button, as the wxWidgets documentation seems to indicate. (This may be a feature of versions above 2.8.7.) Here is another example:

include wxeud.e
without warning 
 
constant  
    main        = create( wxFrame, {0, -1, "Color Buttons Demo", -1, -1, 400, 300} ), 
    panel       = create( wxPanel, {main} ), 
    redbtn      = create( wxButton, {panel, -1, "Red", 10, 10, 90, 30} ), 
    greenbtn    = create( wxButton, {panel, -1, "Green", 110, 10, 90, 30} ), 
    bluebtn     = create( wxButton, {panel, -1, "Blue", 210, 10, 90, 30} ) 
 
-- set button colors 
set_back_color( redbtn, create(wxColour, {#FF,#00,#00}) ) 
set_fore_color( redbtn, create(wxColour, {#FF,#FF,#FF}) ) 
set_back_color( greenbtn, create(wxColour, {#00,#CC,#00}) ) 
set_fore_color( greenbtn, create(wxColour, {#FF,#FF,#FF}) ) 
set_back_color( bluebtn, create(wxColour, {#00,#00,#FF}) ) 
set_fore_color( bluebtn, create(wxColour, {#FF,#FF,#FF}) ) 
 
wxMain( main ) 

Matt recently updated the library to prevent any collisions with Eu 4.0 keywords. As far as stability goes... it's still in an "alpha" state, so anything goes. We'll be working on more Eu 4.0 oriented version of wxEuphoria once Eu 4.0 begins moving into beta and official release states.

Tab controls are called "books" in wxWidgets. This is because a "book" isn't bound to using just tabs (they're referred to as "pages" instead). It can use other controls to select the "tabs" including tabs (wxNotebook), list box (wxListbook), drop-down list (wxChoicebook), tree view (wxTreebook), or tool bar (wxToolbook). See wxBookCtrl for more details. Here is an example of a basic tabbed notebook:

include wxeud.e
without warning 
 
constant  
    main        = create( wxFrame, {0, -1, "Tab Notebook Demo", -1, -1, 400, 300} ), 
    tabs        = create( wxNotebook, {main} ) 
 
-- fill the notebook with some tab pages 
atom panel 
for i = 1 to 5 do 
    panel = create( wxPanel, {tabs} ) 
    add_page( tabs, panel, sprintf("Tab %d", i), wxFalse, 0 ) 
end for 
     
wxMain( main )
