notebook tabs on left text horizontal

Is there any way to get a wx.Notebook to have its tabs on the left
edge with the tab text showing horizontally?

No

The LabelBook control in AGW provides a layout similar to what you are
looking for though so you may want to look at that.

I recently updated LabelBook to allow for text only tabs and it just
got into svn.

Hi,

I've tried LabelBook and so far it does what I want.
I will have to adjust the colors as it's not using the system defaults.

I've pulled over the latest check in.

And I noticed some issues.

I have to do this

class AregEntNote( LB.LabelBook ):
    def __init__(self, parent, id ):
        LB.LabelBook.__init__(self, parent, id, size=(1000,200), style=
                             INB_LEFT
                             > INB_SHOW_ONLY_TEXT
                             > INB_NO_RESIZE
                             )
...
        w = self._pages.GetTabAreaWidth()
...
        self._pages.SetTabAreaWidth( 75 )

to set the tab area width. Could use some convenience methods.

Also, the tab area width setting doesn't take effect right away like
SetColor does.
I have to either click on an unselected tab or resize horizontally to see
the new width.
I have the tabs on the left.

Also, when I resize horizontally the page area slides under the tab area.

With this new check in the tabs, using INB_LEFT, are on the left but are
visually connected to
the left edge of the window rather than the page area. Even after a resize
there's a gap between the tab and the page. See attached.

Hi,

I've tried LabelBook and so far it does what I want.
I will have to adjust the colors as it's not using the system defaults.

I've pulled over the latest check in.

And I noticed some issues.

I have to do this

class AregEntNote( LB.LabelBook ):
def __init__(self, parent, id ):
LB.LabelBook.__init__(self, parent, id, size=(1000,200), style=
INB_LEFT
> INB_SHOW_ONLY_TEXT
> INB_NO_RESIZE
)

If you pulled out the latest SVN, you should not be using the style
keyword but the agwStyle one for styles related to LabelBook. The docs
are pretty clear about that:

:param `agwStyle`: the AGW-specific window style. This can be a
combination of the following bits (etc...)

...
w = self._pages.GetTabAreaWidth()
...
self._pages.SetTabAreaWidth( 75 )

to set the tab area width. Could use some convenience methods.

I never thought about letting the tab area width adjustable: usually
it's set depending on the width of the text/images in the tab.

Also, the tab area width setting doesn't take effect right away like
SetColor does.
I have to either click on an unselected tab or resize horizontally to see
the new width.
I have the tabs on the left.

Try this:

self.SetAGWWindowStyleFlags(self.GetAGWWindowStyleFlags())

After your call to SetTabAreaWidth.

Also, when I resize horizontally the page area slides under the tab area.

With this new check in the tabs, using INB_LEFT, are on the left but are
visually connected to
the left edge of the window rather than the page area. Even after a resize
there's a gap between the tab and the page. See attached.

Not sure what you mean here: how should LabelBook look like in your case?

If you pulled out the latest SVN, you should not be using the style
keyword but the agwStyle one for styles related to LabelBook. The docs
are pretty clear about that:

Yes the docs are clear, thank you very much.
I saw that option change and just hadn't done that part yet.

I've done it now and the tabs are no longer way over to the left.

:param `agwStyle`: the AGW-specific window style. This can be a
combination of the following bits (etc...)

> ...

I never thought about letting the tab area width adjustable: usually
it's set depending on the width of the text/images in the tab.

As you can see in the previous attachment there's a quite an inbalance
in the amount of space to the left and right of the tab text; mostly to the
right.
That's why I wanted to adjust the tab area width.
In fact, the default of 100 appears to be the minimum, even with single
letter tab labels.

Try this:

self.SetAGWWindowStyleFlags(self.GetAGWWindowStyleFlags())

Didn't help (and it's Flag not Flags)

After your call to SetTabAreaWidth.

See new attachment. This is on the 'slides under' part. The other part is
Ok.
