Middle Click To Close Notebook Tab

wxPython Users
1

Hello List!

Okay, this one should be simple.

I'd like to close the tabs of a notebook by middle (or alternately) right clicking.

So far:

···

*****************************************
class MyNotebook(wx.Notebook):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
        wx.Notebook.__init__(self,*args,**kwds)

        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MIDDLE_DOWN, self.OnMClick)

    def OnMClick(self,evt):
        print "Clicked!!"
        x,y = wx.GetMousePosition()
        page = self.HitTestXY(x,y)
        self.DeletePage(page) *****************************************

The problematic part is getting the correct tab! On Windows (at least), self.HitTestXY doesn't seem to yield expected results. Am I using it correctly?

Also, is what response should I get if I'm not over *any* tab. Is there an easy way to capture this.

Thanks!

I tried this in demo, and yes, this seems to be a bug for me (or not
implemented).

I modified the notebook demo, and HitTestXY always delivered 10 or 9
(there were 9 tabs).

wxMSW, 2.6.0.0.

I also tried: fr, page = self.HitTest((x,y))
print x,y, fr, page
fr is always -1 and page always 1 (?)

This works for me:

# part of a wx.Notebook class...
def onRightClick(self, event):
"""right-click event handler"""
    mousePos = event.GetPosition()
    pageIdx, other = self.HitTest(mousePos)
    self.DeletePage(pageIdx)
