How to pass toolbar between classes

Question

I'm trying to create 2 pages of wx.Notebook (each page is wx.Panel as a separate class). Class Main is wx.Frame. And when I try to set the menus it has to be inside of wx.Frame(Main class), however, my toolbars is in wx.Panel(A class).

I print (z which of element A) in hide_show_f.

What I want is, while pressing Hide-Show Tool menu which is checkable, Toolbar 2 is should be hidden and then show. How to succeed in it. Thanks.

This is what the self reference is used for, so that you don't have to redefine things again.
use:

self.page1 = A(nb)
self.page2 = B(nb)

make suitable amendments to page1 and page2 references
then:

def hide_show_f( self, event ):
    if event.IsChecked():
        print("hello")

        print(self.page1.z)

        self.page1._mgr.ClosePane(self.page1.aui_tb2)
        self.page1._mgr.Update()

    else:
        print("bye")

or better:

def hide_show_f( self, event ):
    if event.IsChecked():
        self.page1.btn_1(None)
    else:
        self.page1.btn_2(None)
