phoenix_title wx.BookCtrlBase

A book control is a convenient way of displaying multiple pages of information, displayed one page at a time.

wxWidgets has five variants of this control:

This abstract class is the parent of all these book controls, and provides their basic interface. This is a pure virtual class so you cannot allocate it directly.

class wx.BookCtrlBase(Control, WithImages)

Possible constructors:

             style=0, name="")

A book control is a convenient way of displaying multiple pages of information, displayed one page at a time.


Methods

__init__(self, *args, **kw)

overload Overloaded Implementations:



__init__ (self)

Default constructor.



__init__ (self, parent, winid, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=0, name=””)

Constructs the book control with the given parameters.

See Create for two-step construction.

Parameters:
  • parent (wx.Window) –

  • winid (wx.WindowID) –

  • pos (wx.Point) –

  • size (wx.Size) –

  • style (long) –

  • name (string) –





AddPage(self, page, text, select=False, imageId=NO_IMAGE)

Adds a new page.

The page must have the book control itself as the parent and must not have been added to this control previously.

The call to this function will generate the page changing and page changed events if select is True, but not when inserting the very first page (as there is no previous page selection to switch from in this case and so it wouldn’t make sense to e.g. veto such event).

Parameters:
  • page (wx.Window) – Specifies the new page.

  • text (string) – Specifies the text for the new page.

  • select (bool) – Specifies whether the page should be selected.

  • imageId (int) – Specifies the optional image index for the new page.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

True if successful, False otherwise.

Note

Do not delete the page, it will be deleted by the book control.

InsertPage



AdvanceSelection(self, forward=True)

Cycles through the tabs.

The call to this function generates the page changing events.

Parameters:

forward (bool) –



ChangeSelection(self, page)

Changes the selection to the given page, returning the previous selection.

This function behaves as SetSelection but does not generate the page changing events.

See User Generated Events vs Programmatically Generated Events for more information.

Parameters:

page (int) –

Return type:

int



Create(self, parent, winid, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=0, name="")

Constructs the book control with the given parameters.

Parameters:
  • parent (wx.Window) –

  • winid (wx.WindowID) –

  • pos (wx.Point) –

  • size (wx.Size) –

  • style (long) –

  • name (string) –

Return type:

bool



DeleteAllPages(self)

Deletes all pages.

Return type:

bool



DeletePage(self, page)

Deletes the specified page, and the associated window.

The call to this function generates the page changing events when deleting the currently selected page or a page preceding it in the index order, but it does not send any events when deleting the last page: while in this case the selection also changes, it becomes invalid and for compatibility reasons the control never generates events with the invalid selection index.

Parameters:

page (int) –

Return type:

bool



FindPage(self, page)

Returns the index of the specified tab window or NOT_FOUND if not found.

Parameters:

page (wx.Window) – One of the control pages.

Return type:

int

Returns:

The zero-based tab index or NOT_FOUND if not found.

New in version 2.9.5.



GetControlSizer(self)

Returns the sizer containing the control for page selection, if any.

Some derived classes, e.g. wx.Choicebook, use a separate control for switching the currently selected page and this function returns the sizer used for positioning this control and the pages themselves inside the book control.

Note that many classes, notably wx.Notebook, do not use any such control, and this function simply returns None for them.

Return type:

wx.Sizer

Returns:

Non-owning pointer to the sizer or None.



GetCurrentPage(self)

Returns the currently selected page or None.

Return type:

wx.Window



GetPage(self, page)

Returns the window at the given page position.

Parameters:

page (int) –

Return type:

wx.Window



GetPageCount(self)

Returns the number of pages in the control.

Return type:

int



GetPageImage(self, nPage)

Returns the image index for the given page.

Parameters:

nPage (int) –

Return type:

int



GetPageText(self, nPage)

Returns the string for the given page.

Parameters:

nPage (int) –

Return type:

string



GetSelection(self)

Returns the currently selected page, or NOT_FOUND if none was selected.

Note that this method may return either the previously or newly selected page when called from the EVT_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGED handler depending on the platform and so wx.BookCtrlEvent.GetSelection should be used instead in this case.

Return type:

int



HitTest(self, pt)

Returns the index of the tab at the specified position or NOT_FOUND if none.

If flags parameter is not None, the position of the point inside the tab is returned as well.

Parameters:

pt (wx.Point) – Specifies the point for the hit test.

Return type:

tuple

Returns:

( int, flags )



InsertPage(self, index, page, text, select=False, imageId=NO_IMAGE)

Inserts a new page at the specified position.

Parameters:
  • index (int) – Specifies the position for the new page.

  • page (wx.Window) – Specifies the new page.

  • text (string) – Specifies the text for the new page.

  • select (bool) – Specifies whether the page should be selected.

  • imageId (int) – Specifies the optional image index for the new page.
