wxNotebook Oddities

wxPython Users
1

Hello all,
   I'm new to this list, but been doing wxPython for quite some time..

  Got a quick question.. I made an empty frame, tried to subclass wxPanel and added a Notebook object to the panel.. but when it adds the "Paneled Notebook"to the main frame, it's only making the NB like 5x5 pixels.. I can't figure it out..

Here is the subclassed Panel:
class infoPane(wxPanel):
     def __init__(self, parent, data):
         wxPanel.__init__(self, parent, -1)

         self.parent = parent

         gs = wxGridSizer(1,1,10,10)

         nID = wxNewId()
         self.nb = wxNotebook(self, nID, style=wxNB_RIGHT)

         win = wxTextCtrl(self.nb, 8505, value=data, style=wxTE_READONLY|wxTE_MULTILINE)
         self.nb.AddPage(win, "Test Data", TRUE)

         gs.Add(self.nb)
         gs.Fit(self)
         self.SetSizer(gs)

Did I just totally screw this up?

Using Python 2.3.2, and wxPython for 2.3

Thanks
Dave

there are functions to assign/set and get imagelist on a wxlistctrl
but there is no function to delete imagelist from a wxlistctrl !?

i need to show a wxlistctrl in REPORT MODE (list), and be able to swith the view like this :
- with icon (small icon)
- with no icons

so i play with wx_SMALL_ICON .. to show/hide this icons
but in my "no icon" view : icons are not here : but empty space stays in place of icons
and this happens because i have assigned an imagelist to the wxlistctrl ...

i'd like to unassign this imagelist in my "no icon" view ... so : theses empty spaces will disapear
(and reassign it in my "icon" view)

Does

work?

no .... i ve tried ... but empty spaces still stay

but i've found a solution
i set an empty imagelist of bitmap of 1x1 pixels ...
and it rules like a charm ...

Still having problems with this one.. I will include a URL to see what's happening.. I have changed my subclass to this:

from wxPython.wx import *

class infoPane(wxPanel):
     def __init__(self, parent, data):
         wxPanel.__init__(self, parent, -1)

         self.parent = parent
         self.data = data

         bs = wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL)

         nID = wxNewId()
         self.nb = wxNotebook(self, nID, style=wxNB_RIGHT)

         win = wxTextCtrl(self.nb, 8505, value=self.data, style=wxTE_READONLY|wxTE_MULTILINE)

         self.nb.AddPage(win, "Test Data", TRUE)

         bs.Add(self.nb, 1, wxEXPAND|wxALL, 10)
         self.SetSizerAndFit(bs)

How is the infoPane created? What manages its size? (If it is not the only child of the frame then you'll need to do a sizer for the frame too.)

The main wxFrame class of the APP Creates it..

I will also try to make a sizer on that as well, which may be my problem..

Thanks for the help.. I usually use Tabs inside splitters, but didn't want splitters for this one..

As it happens, I *just* dealt with this problem. Do the
following to properly size the wxNotebook:

-------------------------------------------

As far as I can tell, what is happening is that a notebook
attached to a frame directly is automatically sized and
doesn't need wx.NotebookSizer. Anywhere else (a sub-panel,
a notebook within a notebook, etc.) and it needs the
wx.NotebookSizer to be used as shown above. If you don't
have a sizer you're adding components to for some reason,
you can call Layout() directly on the wx.NotebookSizer
object. You could just always talk to wx.NotebookSizer, but
I at least tend to size the original sizer for the object,
then let it deal with its children as needed.

/begin rant

If you ask me the wx.Notebook class should have a function
to set its size to its contents either automatically when in a
generic sizer or on demand.....as you found, the above
creates the same issue being seen by person after person,
when you should be able to just call "self.nb.AutoLayout()"
or something.

/end rant :slight_smile:

Hope this helps.
