I was testing out using the “FNB_ALLOW_FOREIGN_DND” style with the FlatNotebook to see about dragging pages between books, and noticed on the Mac it didn’t seem to do anything. Investigating why, I noticed the flatnotebook.py code checked and only allowed it to occur on GTK or MSW platforms.
Soo. Curious what would happened since the actual code looked so simple, I added WXMAC to the list of allowed platforms in the code.
And it worked fine.
So-- I’m wondering, is there any reason or issue with this code that should prevent it from working on the Mac, that wasn’t apparent in my admittedly simple testing?
And if not, can we have it modified in the official distribution to allow?

Probably just that Andrea doesn't have a Mac to test with.

Send me a patch.

Just checking, as there were some other WXMAC details in the file.
And if not, can we have it modified in the official distribution to
allow?

Sorry for the delay, I was on holiday. Yes, actually I don't have a
Mac to work with, so I simply thought that on Mac it wouldn't have
worked
Glad it does!
