AUI Notebook auto-select the tab

wxPython Users

I am using wxPython3.0.0. I made a AWG AuiNotebook. There are two tabs … one in the top half of the screen and the other in the bottom half. Each tab has a text control in it.

When I click on one of the text controls it does not auto-select the corresponding tab. If I click within a tab I would expect the tab to become “selected” showing it as the active tab.

Is this by design or a bug? Is there an easy way to enable this behavior?

Thanks!

I have seen in AuiNotebook that a tab is not selected if you hit it towards the right end of the tab, but otherwise it does select for me.

This has been observed for some time now by others. I believe it is a focus/child focus problem overall.
I have integrated some workarounds in SourceCoder to try and fix this with the aui nb split tabs feature, but overall have yet to come up with a “proper” fix.
… so ATM it can be viewed as a bug/irritation. Hopefully Andrea or someone else will figure this one out.
until then, the best you can do is try to come up with a proper fix like the rest of us, then test it out, and if works properly overall without hacks, then submit a patch.
