AuiNotebook: Show close button only on some of the notebook tabs

wxPython Users

Hi,

With wx.aui.AuiNotebook or wx.lib.agw.aui.AuiNotebook, it is possible
to control on which notebook tabs the close button is shown?

I want some of the pages not closable, while others closable by the
user.

Currently I use AUI_NB_CLOSE_ON_ALL_TABS to show the close button on
all the tabs, and then veto the close events for the non-closable
tabs.

It would be nice to hide the close button on the non-closable tabs.
Does anybody know whether it is possible to do so?

It's not possible with wx.aui, but it should be fairly easy to add in
wx.lib.agw.aui.

Please enter a feature request about it at:

http://trac.wxwidgets.org/

Specifying that the bug is AGW-specific and assign it to me, otherwise
it will get lost in the maze of my e-mail account.

I've added a new AGW Component in wxTrac, so you don't need to depend on setting AGW in the keywords any longer.

I have added this feature in AUI in SVN. It can be used only when you
specify AUI_NB_CLOSE_ON_ALL_TABS: you simply call:

notebook.SetCloseButton(page_index, False)

And the selected page will not be closable and it will not display a
close button. The AUI demo reflects this change: simply choose the
menu "Notebook" => "Set Close Button On All Tabs" and you will see
that page 2 (zero-indexed) has no close button.
