How to create a notebook (Phoenix)
Keywords : Notebook, Frame, Panel, Page, Tab.
Contents
Introduction :
wx.Notebook widget joins multiple windows with corresponding tabs.
You can position the Notebook widget using the following style flags :
- wx.NB_LEFT
- wx.NB_RIGHT
- wx.NB_TOP
- wx.NB_BOTTOM
The default position is wx.NB_TOP.
wx.Notebook methods |
|
integer GetRowCount() |
get the number of rows |
SetPadding(wx.Size padding) |
set the amount of space around each page's icon and label |
SetTabSize(wx.Size size) |
set the tab size |
(tab, where) HitTest(wx.Point point) |
return the tab which is hit |
wx.Size CalcSizeFromPage(wx.Size size) |
something |
add bookcontrolbase methods where return value of the HitTest() method can be one of :
- wx.NB_HITTEST_NOWHERE
- wx.NB_HITTEST_ONITEM
(info by ZetCode / Jan Bodnar).
Demonstrating :
Tested py3.x, wx4.x and Win10.

First example
A simple example of using a wx.Notebook to implement a tabbed interface with 3 page windows.
