Hi,
TabFolder.pack() should do this, but this isn't working in a little test
snippet that I just tried. I'll look into whether there's a bug here,
but in the meantime I notice that changing the TabFolder to CTabFolder
results in CTabFolder.pack() behaving as expected, so at this point my
suggestion is to make this change.

I see, I overlooked that part of your question. The implementation of
CTabFolder.pack() asks each of its tabs for its preferred size, so even
tricks like making the content of non-visible tabs invisible will not
help here. One thing you could try is to set the size (or if you're
using layouts, the size hints) for all controls on non-visible tabs to
1,1, so that their preferred sizes will become very small. Then fix
these sizes (or in the case of layouts, get rid of the size hints) for a
given tab when it is selected.
That being said, having a tab folder whose size changes on every tab
selection is not typical, and may seem jumpy to the user. Just a
suggestion to re-consider whether this is actually a good thing to do.
