Summary: AddControl broken in AUI toolbar for Mac

Initial Comment:
This is related to Bug 1732558. But the title of the bug is not very clear and it has been sitting unassigned for several months.

On the Mac, any control added to an AUI managed toolbar (i.e., with AddControl) is invisible and inaccessible. It creates no error; it just isn't there.

This behavior has been consistent on both PPC and Intel Macs, and remains the same with the current wxPython 2.8.4 (I assume it's a problem with the underlying wxWidgets).

Thanks for looking into this. We'd like to use AUI toolbars so that they
can be torn off, but need them to work the same across all supported
platform.

Hi Dave

re background: that's because it is not the native icon size of 16x16
(just fix the height and add a transparent line to see the change), so it
goes via a PICT conversion which looses alpha) is 16x15 standard on other
platforms ? if yes, then I'd add an explicit path to add an empty line

Best,

Stefan

Thanks Stefan :-)

I should also note that although the non-native toolbar technically works,
the wxBitmapButton's background colour seems to be stuck at white which
looks ugly against the silver toolbar - so I'll be waiting for a proper fix
for pgAdmin :-p

Cheers, Dave.

Hi Dave

this definitely helps, at least it helps me, I need native samples... I'll
try to see whether it is a low hanging fruit ;-)

Thanks,

Stefan

If it helps, the patch below illustrates the problem using the aui sample
in 2.8.7. As noted in the related bug, using the non-native toolbar (by
defining wxMAC_USE_NATIVE_TOOLBAR=0 does also solve the problem).

Correction. This is related to bug 1638728. I pasted in the wrong number.
