wxAuiNotebook closing

[miclus]

Hi. I changed the code in OnLeftDown() so that if a close button is clicked, it won't switch to the tab just before closing it. Here is the code:

Code: Select all


        if ((new_selection != GetActivePage() ||
            GetParent()->IsKindOf(CLASSINFO(wxAuiNotebook))) && !m_hover_button)
        {
            wxAuiNotebookEvent e(wxEVT_COMMAND_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING, m_windowId);
            e.SetSelection(new_selection);
            e.SetOldSelection(GetActivePage());
            e.SetEventObject(this);
            GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent(e);
        }



Only thing different is the !m_hover_button. But, I found a strange glitch that results from this. If I drag the tab to close to very left position (index 0), then close it, there become strange little dead spaces on the remaining tabs whereby clicking them has no effect.

So, does anyone have a better solution to this problem?

Ok, I found I can do the same thing in SetSelection. But, there is still the strange behavior with the dead space. Does anyone have another solution? Basically, I want it so that if you click the X button on a tab, it doesn't switch to that tab first.

We wanted that, too, when we implemented it, but it was causing problems shortly before release, so we didn't put it in. I'm grateful for your insights.
