AuiNotebook is a notebook control which implements many features common in applications with dockable panes. Specifically, AuiNotebook implements functionality which allows the user to rearrange tab order via drag-and-drop, split the tab window into many different splitter configurations, and toggle through different themes to customize the control’s look and feel.

An effort has been made to try to maintain an API as similar to that of Notebook.

The default theme that is used is AuiDefaultTabArt, which provides a modern, glossy look and feel. The theme can be changed by calling AuiNotebook.SetArtProvider.

Methods


__init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize, style=0, agwStyle=AUI_NB_DEFAULT_STYLE, name="AuiNotebook")

Default class constructor.

Parameters:
  • parent (wx.Window) – the AuiNotebook parent;
  • id (integer) – an identifier for the control: a value of -1 is taken to mean a default;
  • pos (wx.Point) – the control position. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default position, chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;
  • size (wx.Size) – the control size. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default size, chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;

AddTabAreaButton(self, id, location, normal_bitmap=wx.NullBitmap, disabled_bitmap=wx.NullBitmap, name="")

Adds a button in the tab area.

Parameters:
  • id (integer) – the button identifier. This can be one of the following:

    Button Identifier Description
    AUI_BUTTON_CLOSE Shows a close button on the tab area
    AUI_BUTTON_WINDOWLIST Shows a window list button on the tab area
    AUI_BUTTON_LEFT Shows a left button on the tab area
    AUI_BUTTON_RIGHT Shows a right button on the tab area
  • location (integer) – the button location. Can be wx.LEFT or wx.RIGHT;

AdvanceSelection(self, forward=True, wrap=True)

Cycles through the tabs.

Parameters:
  • forward (bool) – whether to advance forward or backward;
  • wrap (bool) – True to return to the first tab if we reach the last tab.

Note

The call to this function generates the page changing events.


AssignImageList(self, imageList)

Sets the image list for the AuiNotebook control.

Parameters:imageList – an instance of wx.ImageList.

CalculateNewSplitSize(self)

Calculates the size of the new split.


CalculateTabCtrlHeight(self)

Calculates the tab control area height.


CloneTabAreaButtons(self)

Clones the tab area buttons when the AuiNotebook is being split.

See also

AddTabAreaButton

Note

Standard buttons for AuiNotebook are not cloned, only custom ones.


DeletePage(self, page_idx)

Deletes a page at the given index. Calling this method will generate a page change event.

Parameters:page_idx (integer) – the page index to be deleted.

Note

DeletePage removes a tab from the multi-notebook, and destroys the window as well.

See also

RemovePage


Destroy(self)

Destroys the window safely.

Use this function instead of the del operator, since different window classes can be destroyed differently. Frames and dialogs are not destroyed immediately when this function is called – they are added to a list of windows to be deleted on idle time, when all the window’s events have been processed. This prevents problems with events being sent to non-existent windows.

Returns:True if the window has either been successfully deleted, or it has been added to the list of windows pending real deletion.

Note

This method has been added to safely un-initialize the underlying AuiManager which manages the AuiNotebook layout (i.e., tab split, re-ordering, tab floating etc...).


DoSizing(self)

Performs all sizing operations in each tab control.


EditTab(self, page_index)

Starts the editing of an item label, sending a EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event.

Parameters:indx (integer) – the page index.

FindNextActiveTab(self, ctrl_idx, ctrl)

Finds the next active tab (used mainly when AuiNotebook has inactive/disabled tabs in it).

Parameters:
  • ctrl_idx (integer) – the index of the first (most obvious) tab to check for active status;

Returns:

True if the page tooltip has been set, False otherwise (for example when the input page_idx is greater than the number of pages in the notebook.

SetRenamable(self, page_idx, renamable)

Sets whether a tab can be renamed via a left double-click or not.

Parameters:
  • page_idx (integer) – the page index;
  • renamable (bool) – True if the page can be renamed.

SetSashDClickUnsplit(self, unsplit=True)

Sets whether to unsplit a splitted AuiNotebook when double-clicking on a sash.

Parameters:unsplit (bool) – True to unsplit on sash double-clicking, False otherwise.

SetSelectedFont(self, font)

Sets the selected tab font for drawing tab labels.

Parameters:font (wx.Font) – the new font to use to draw tab labels in their selected state.

SetSelection(self, new_page, force=False)

Sets the page selection. Calling this method will generate a page change event.

Parameters:
  • new_page (integer) – the index of the new selection;
  • force (bool) – whether to force the selection or not.

SetSelectionToPage(self, page)

Sets the selection based on the input page.

Parameters:page – an instance of AuiNotebookPage.

SetSelectionToWindow(self, win)

Sets the selection based on the input window win.

Parameters:win – a wx.Window derived window.

SetTabCtrlHeight(self, height)

Sets the tab height.

By default, the tab control height is calculated by measuring the text height and bitmap sizes on the tab captions.

Calling this method will override that calculation and set the tab control to the specified height parameter. A call to this method will override any call to SetUniformBitmapSize. Specifying -1 as the height will return the control to its default auto-sizing behaviour.

Parameters:height (integer) – the tab control area height.

SetUniformBitmapSize(self, size)

Ensures that all tabs will have the same height, even if some tabs don’t have bitmaps. Passing wx.DefaultSize to this method will instruct the control to use dynamic tab height, which is the default behaviour. Under the default behaviour, when a tab with a large bitmap is added, the tab control’s height will automatically increase to accommodate the larger bitmap.

Parameters:size (wx.Size) – the tab bitmap size.

ShowWindowMenu(self)

Shows the window menu for the active tab control associated with this notebook, and returns True if a selection was made.


Split(self, page, direction)

UnSplit(self)

Restores original view after a tab split.


UnsplitDClick(self, part, sash_size, pos)

Unsplit the AuiNotebook on sash double-click.

Parameters:
  • part – an UI part representing the sash;
  • sash_size (integer) – the sash size;
  • pos (wx.Point) – the double-click mouse position.
