[wxPython-users] ANN: FlatNotebook Control For wxPython ;-)

[Andrea Gavana]

Hello NG,

    Ok, it seems all the bugs are fixed now (please note: it seems :-D):

1) @limodou: now the Smart Tabbing works: it was a wxPython idiocy
from my part that snippet of code;

2) @limodou: now Ctrl+[Shift]+Tab generate a
wxEVT_FLATNOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING and its son
wxEVT_FLATNOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED;

3) @limodou & Alessandro: AddPage (if select=True), InsertPage (if
select=True) and DeletePage now generate the above events;

4) @Werner: I reformatted the inputs for AddPage and InsertPage to
match the wxWidgets/wxPython parameter names. If you find anything
strange on that, please let me know;

5) @Robin: I am making the patches I'll send you later; please see
item (6) if you can help;

6) @Matthias: The issue of DnD with icons should be fixed. Now if you
drag a tab that contains an image from a notebook to another notebook,
that image is reassigned in the dropped tab in the new notebook,
whether by creating a new wx.ImageList (if the second notebook does
not hold one) or by adding the tab image to the second notebook's
imagelist.

NB: this part of the code has a drawing problem:

a) By Drag 'n' Drop from an oldNotebook to a newNotebook, from this
snippets of code:

# Get the bitmap of the dragged tab
bmp = oldNotebook.GetImageList().GetBitmap(imageindex)

# Get the wx.ImageList of the target notebook
newImageList = newNotebook.GetImageList()

if not newImageList:
    # Target notebook has no ImageList, so create one
    xbmp, ybmp = bmp.GetWidth(), bmp.GetHeight()
    newImageList = wx.ImageList(xbmp, ybmp)
    imageindex = 0
else:
    imageindex = newImageList.GetImageCount()

newImageList.Add(bmp)
newNotebook.SetImageList(newImageList)

Ok, from now on, the added bitmap to the second notebook does *not*
paint transparent anymore, whatever trick I use. I get the bitmap with
a black background. Is it possible that retrieving a bitmap from an
imagelist and putting it to another screws up the imagelist drawing?
Please note that I use:

wx.ImageList.Draw(imageIndex, dc, xpos, ypos,
wx.IMAGELIST_DRAW_TRANSPARENT, True)

For this problem, I don't have a solution right now.

You can find the sources, demo and beautified documentation in the usual places:

I welcome every suggestion.
