Hi list,
I wonder if there's a possibility to use the space to he right of
up tabs of a NoteBook; I mean is there a possibility for a sizer
placed up to the NB to infringe on this area?

It might be possible to do it without a sizer, or with a sizer that you manage yourself instead of assigning it to the notebook, but I would not recommend either approach. It will likely confuse your users who will not expect to have widgets in that area other than the tabs, and it will likely be vulnerable to platform differences or perhaps even in different scenarios on a single platform due to things like system upgrades or changing themes.

If I understood the question correctly, the OP may want to try and use
wx.lib.agw.auinotebook, which allows you to place custom buttons to
the rightmost and/or leftmost part of the tabs area. With its
AddTabAreaButton you can customize quite a lot. There is also an
example of it in the wxPython demo.

Thanks for the link Andrea, but I just tried to modify the demo and
it returns: 'AuiNotebook' object has no attribute 'AddTabAreaButton';
a further research w/ pydoc also tells it is unknown.
But that also had a side effect: I found that aui, that I didn't
watch closely, has a very much simplier syntax than regular wx.
I'll give it a try.

Yesbutno: à the upper rightmost part of the frame, there's a pile of
information, so putting it here wouldn't confuse (and the frame is
large enough to have a large gap between the last tab and this
hypothetical button).
This is just a matter of recovering place, as I'd like some
important info being visible any time on this frame.

Effectively, if it raise some random behavior in the same OS this is
much a concern - however for other OS I already see strange things
even in the demo codes: if macOS... if MSW...; so parts of the
compatibility seems to be evanescent from base.

Hi Jean-Yves,
If I understood the question correctly, the OP may want to try and use
wx.lib.agw.auinotebook, which allows you to place custom buttons to
the rightmost and/or leftmost part of the tabs area. With its

Then I guess you are using an older version of wxPython. I don't
remember exactly when AddTabAreaButton was added but I believe it
should be there in 2.8.12 and for sure in the 2.9 series. Otherwise
you may just grab the SVN version of it from here:
http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxPython/3rdParty/AGW/agw/
And use it in place of the one provided by the wxPython installer.
But that also had a side effect: I found that aui, that I didn't
watch closely, has a very much simplier syntax than regular wx.
I'll give it a try.
I am happy you found it useful.
Andrea.

I use the regular Debian sid package, which is: 2.8.12.1-3

Hmm, I don't like very much messing with an original packages; by the
past it happens and long enough to forget after that, I spent hours
to find what was wrong with my system.
I'll check dependencies first to see if I risk a breakage, and
check if Debian scripts are part of the dev tarball - if so, I'll
build packages and install them (but 2.9 must also work on stable
as I develop on unstable but pgm will run on stable).

I'm pleased you're happy °<;-)
