It's in the nature of cross-platform toolkits to poorly support such.

The sheets and toolbars should work in wxOSX/Cocoa (but not in wxMac)

It looks like: http://www.algonet.se/~afb/wx/WidgetsDemo-MacOSX.png

# 10.4 has wxWidgets 2.5.3
# 10.5 has wxWidgets 2.8.4
# 10.6 has wxWidgets 2.8.8
# 10.7 does not ship with wxWidgets.
