AuiNotebook tab being raised when another app is minimized

Hi,

I've a strange problem on Windows (wxPython 2.8.4.0). Task Coach uses
an AuiNotebook in its main window. When the Task Coach main window is
shown and *another* application is minimized the last but one tab in
the AuiNotebook is activated. I haven't been able to replicate this
with a small app or the demo. Suggestions for how to debug this are
very welcome!

Thanks, Frank

When a wx frame is activated it tries to restore the focus to whatever
widget it thinks had the focus before the frame lost activation. My
guess is that there is something going wrong there or that something in
your app or AUI is confusing it in some way.

I'm not really sure what is going on, but catching
wx.aui.EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING and then vetoing the event if the
TopLevelParent is not active helped. In code:

class MyAuiNotebook(wx.aui.AuiNotebook):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyAuiNotebook, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.Bind(wx.aui.EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING, self.onPageChanging)

    def onPageChanging(self, event):
        if self.GetTopLevelParent().IsActive():
            event.Skip()
        else:
            event.Veto()

Cheers, Frank
