Can't answer your question, but from what I remember about SciTE, it
only uses one scintilla component, and when you switch to another tab,
it does the following (among the other things):

1. Cycles the current file lines and remembers any closed folds.
2. Switches the document.
3. Checks the remembered closed folds for the new document and closes
them.

Or something like that, and there were no special function calls IIRC.
Perhaps you should take a look at SciTE source.
