I would like to "announce" my latest control, called FlatNotebook.
"The FlatNotebook is a full implementation of the wx.Notebook, and
designed to be a drop-in replacement for wx.Notebook. The API
functions are similar so one can expect the function to behave in the
same way.
Some features:
- The buttons are highlighted a la Firefox style
- The scrolling is done for bulks of tabs (so, the scrolling is faster
and better)
- The buttons area is never overdrawn by tabs
- It is a generic control
- Currently there are 4 differnt styles - VC8, VC 71, Standard and Fancy.
- Mouse middle click can be used to close tabs
- A function to add right click menu for tabs (simple as SetRightClickMenu)
- All styles has bottom style as well (they can be drawn in the bottom
of screen)
- An option to hide 'X' button or navigation buttons (separately)
- Gradient coloring of the selected tabs and border
- Support for drag 'n' drop of tabs, both in the same notebook or to
another notebook
- Possibility to have closing button on the active tab directly
- Support for disabled tabs
- Colours for active/inactive tabs, and captions
- Background of tab area can be painted in gradient (VC8 style only)
- Colourful tabs - a random gentle colour is generated for each new
tab (very cool, VC8 style only)
And much more.
"
The source code, demo and epydoc-generated documentation are available
in the usual place:
Wow, this is just superb! You can drag around the individual pages like in VC, the demo rocks. I have two little comments about this:
1. If I drag a tab to change the tab order in a peculiar notebook, I always have to drag it straight onto another tab. For example suppose there's Tab1 Tab2 and I want to make it Tab2 Tab1, I could either drag Tab2 on Tab1 or vice versa. It would be nice if you could extend this so that I could drag Tab1 somewhere right of Tab2 (not exactly onto Tab2) to move it to the last position. Or to drag Tab2 before Tab1 (to the left of Tab1, very close to the screen border).
2. Have you thought about combining this with wx.aui? I think VC does the same. Basically you can add new tabs to a notebook by dragging other tabs/windows onto it. Is it perhaps already possible by making a bunch of wx.aui panes, all containing FlatNotebooks? This would definately be one of the coolest things in wxpython and something I really appreciate. It would allow me to make my application work exactly like I wanted it to work.
Just for your information, I am using a lot of the controls you wrote by now. They're extremely useful for designing flexible, powerful and at the same time even good looking applications. I can't think of any more controls that you could write by now, honestly. Your work is basically the icing on the (great) cake that's called wxPython for me. Thanks a lot!

Cool, I have been looking forward to seeing this control in wxPython! However, it has problems on Mac. (No, seriously! Although, it's not with the control itself, it's something to do with the images.
I have to admit I'm baffled by this one - it's the annoying "image height doesn't match image width" assert, but in this case, the height and width of the PNG files do seem to match. So I wonder if for some reason wxMac can't read the PNG files? The assertion I'm getting is:
wx._core.PyAssertionError: C++ assertion "(bitmap.GetWidth() == m_width && bitmap.GetHeight() == m_height) || (m_width == 0 && m_height == 0)" failed in /BUILD/wxPython-src-2.6.3.3/src/mac/carbon/imaglist.cpp(88): invalid bitmap size in wxImageList: this might work on this platform but definitely won't under Windows.
I've never seen this before on Mac when loading an image whose dimensions were equal. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Thanks,

It's not checking that the width and height are equal, but that the dimensions of the image matches size specified for the image list.

I'v replaced Notebook with FlatNotebook in UliPad, it's cool. But
sometimes, as I click the nav button, the show is not correct, and
sometime the screen doesnot repaint again. I need to kill the program.

It's not checking that the width and height are equal, but that the
dimensions of the image matches size specified for the image list.
Thank you very much Andrea, as usual! that's great.
Just a note I've seen first:
when creating a new page or deleting one the changing and changed events aren't fired

So I don't see why Mac should complain about the differences between
the imagelist size and the PNGs size. They are the same.
Hmm... Maybe it is a problem with the png loader on wxMac and one of the images is getting a wrong size. I'll take a look when I integrate the modules into wx.lib.
Curious the error message:
"invalid bitmap size in wxImageList: this might work on this platform
but definitely won't under Windows"
Hahahahahaha, yeah, sure, how comes that it's actually *working* on Windows?
Yeah, I've always thought that message was a crack-up, even when it was true.

Robin, related to the message Alessandro posted, I see that in the
help about wx.Notebook.AddPage:
"The call to this function may generate the page changing events"
Uhm... how should I interpret that "may generate"? Platform dependent
behavior? May it happen that the notebook does not fire the page
changing event? And should this behavior be expected also for
InsertPage (there are no comments about page changing events in the
doc about InsertPage)?
I'll ask also to wxWidgets forum why FlatNotebook does not send events
for AddPage and DeletePage.
"Imagination Is The Only Weapon In The War Against Reality."
Eran is working on a refactored version of FlatNotebook that will fix
the AddPage and DeletePage event firing problem and will have a nicer
implementation with Renderers instead of one big and 'if'-filled
OnPaint method. So, I would probably wait for his new version to come
out (and some time for me to translate the modifications) before
adding wxPython version of FlatNotebook to wx.lib. Is that ok Robin?

Well, I can not integrate directly wxAUI with FlatNotebook, but try
the attached file and let me know if you like it . It requires
wxPython 2.7 latest pre-release and latest FlatNotebook, which you can
get from:

coding in wxPython after all that years at work using Matlab GUIs

I have fixed the 2 bugs you mentioned in the previous email and fixed
another weird behavior with the navigation buttons. I think that now
FlatNotebook is working Ok. If you want, you can try the latest

That's okay, do you have any indication of how long it might be? (We've given ourselves a fairly tight schedule to get through 2.7 and to a 2.8 release, so the sooner the better.)
