Hello NG,
after the kind requests for bug fixes and features addition to NotebookCtrl made by Stani (the SPE editor author), I have implemented some more nice (for me) features in this control. This is what I have done:
-
Added the tab Drag And Drop Event (Stani’s request);
-
Added the possibility to hide the TabCtrl when only one tab is shown, thus maximizing the corresponding window in the NotebookCtrl (Stani request);
-
Added the possibility to change a tab image into the “Opera” style close button when mouse is hovering on the tab image (Stani request);
-
Popup menus on tabs (every tab can have its own menu, or no menu) (Richard Terry request).
Moreover, I have fixed all the bugs that Stani has found on Mac (I hope, I don’t have Mac so I can’t test it… I hope Stani will do it for me).
So, At the moment, NotebookCtrl features are:
- Setting Individual Tab Font And Text Colour;
- Images On Tabs (Line wx.Notebook);
- Setting Individual Tab Colours;
- Disabling/Enabling Individual Tabs (Also Visually Effective);
- Drawing Of A Small Closing “X” At The Right Of Every Tab, That Enable The User
To Close A Tab With A Mouse Click (Like eMule Tab Style);
- Enabling Highlighted Tabs On Selection;
- Drawing Focus Indicator In Each Tab (Like wx.Notebook);
- Ctrl-Tab Keyboard Navigation Between Pages;
- Tab With Animated Icons (Animation On Tabs);
- Drag And Drop Tabs In NotebookCtrl;
- Drag And Drop Event;
- ToolTips On Individual Tabs, With Customizable ToolTip Time Popup And ToolTip
Window Size For Individual Tabs;
- Possibility To Hide The TabCtrl There Is Only One Tab (Thus Maximizing The
Corresponding Window);
- Possibility To Convert The Tab Image Into A Close Button While Mouse Is Hovering
On The Tab Image;
- Popup Menus On Tabs (Popup Menus Specific To Each Tab).
I have re-uploaded the new source code and the enhanced demo in the usual place:
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/infinity77/eng/freeware.html#notebookctrl
Or, if you prefer in italian 
:
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/infinity77/ita/freeware.html#notebookctrl
If it doesn’t bother anyone, I attach the source code and the demo also to this email.
I really welcome any comments, suggestions and ideas you may have, also reporting other platforms behavior (I’m on Windows 2000/XP, Python 2.4.1 and wxPython 2.6.1.1 prerelease).
Thanks for every comments, and sorry for the long post and for the attachment.
Andrea.

Thanks heaps, didn't realise you'd taken my request into account, and so
promptly, I'm impressed (as usual) with your efforts.

Hi
Oh Andrea is working again 
(just joking)
Thanks a lot (really not joking)
- Drag And Drop Tabs In NotebookCtrl;
Is it possible to show an indicator, where the tab will be inserted?
And I've found a bug, when dragging a tab:
---snip---
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "G:\persoenliches\Programmierung\Python\Web\NBC\NotebookCtrl.py", line 16
64, in OnMouseLeftUp
newrange.append(pagerange[ii])
IndexError: list index out of range
---snap---
- Possibility To Convert The Tab Image Into A Close Button While Mouse Is Hovering
On The Tab Image;
Hey that's a really nice feature. What do you think about - showing the
close button, when hovering the tab and not only the tab image?

Hello Alexander & NG,

Yeah, I was in Egypt till tuesday
Thanks a lot (really not joking)
Thanks to you, for your prompt suggestions and bug reports.

I am working on it at the moment... I just don't have a clear idea on how to
do it nicely...

Mhm... I am unable to replicate it... do you remember what you have done to
recreate it? However, I found a bad bug on Drag And Drop tabs, now it should
be fixed. I have re-uploaded the source and the demo in:

Mhm... that wouldn't be very difficult... even if managing different
options/user customization is becoming hard, I will think about it, however.
Thanks a lot for all your suggestions.

Hi
When moving the mouse with the right button pressed, the cursor changes
but the tabs doesn't get dragged.

be fixed. I have re-uploaded the source and the demo in:
I can't replicate exact this bug, but another one.
When dragging the tabs very fast, I get this error:

2, in GetPageText
raise "\nERROR: Invalid Notebook Page In GetPageText: (" + str(nPage) + ")"
ERROR: Invalid Notebook Page In GetPageText: (-1)
---snap---
In the old version, there was a bug, when moving a tab to the last
position. But this works now.

Hello Alexander & NG,

Fixed. Now it should work as expected, noting that DnD is allowed only with
left mouse button.

Yes, I think I have fixed also this one.

I know I have noticed it this morning, and I have corrected it. Thanks a

Yes, why not
I found a bug:
open the demo, check the "Animate Tab Image" and check "show image on
tab" and see the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

tab" and see the error:

Yes, this is because you choose "Animate Tabs" before choosing "Show Images
On Tabs". Noting that tab images are taken randomly every time you
check/uncheck the "Show Images On Tabs". It is an "error" in the Demo, not
in NotebookCtrl itself. If you choose:
1) "Show Images On Tabs" *before* checking "Animate Tabs";
*or*
2) "Animate Tabs" without checking "Show Images On Tabs" after
Everything should work fine... I should correct this behavior, but I'm
trying to figure out how to best doing it... and at the moment, I am waiting
for bugs/features regarding NotebookCtrl itself (especially from Stani...
where are you, Stani??? ). However, thanks for the bug report, is noted
and I will fix it as soon as NotebookCtrl works smoothly.
Thank you a lot.
Andrea.
