wxAuiNotebook events Topic is solved

[Kerry]

Hello,

I have a class derived from wxAuiNotebook, and I'm trying to create an event table. The AUI events seem to have poor (missing) documentation, and I'm having difficulty figuring out how to use the events that are defined in auibook.cpp. I need to be able to delete some objects that reside in a notebook page when the user closes the page, so I think I'm interested in wxEVT_COMMAND_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CLOSE. I've tried this:

Code: Select all

class MAIN_NOTEBOOK : public wxAuiNotebook
{
public:
	MAIN_NOTEBOOK(wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id, const wxPoint& pos,
		const wxSize& size, long style);
	~MAIN_NOTEBOOK();

	virtual void NotebookPageClose_Event(wxAuiNotebookEvent &event);

	bool Create(void);

	enum
	{
		ID_Page_Close
	};

private:
	wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor *VTKPage;

protected:
	DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE();
};

with this:

Code: Select all

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(MAIN_NOTEBOOK, wxAuiNotebook)
	wxEVT_COMMAND_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CLOSE(ID_Page_Close, MAIN_NOTEBOOK::NotebookPageClose_Event)// Line # 42
END_EVENT_TABLE();// Line # 43

void MAIN_NOTEBOOK::NotebookPageClose_Event(wxAuiNotebookEvent &event)
{
	// More to come
	event.Skip();
}

but it won't compile. I get these errors:

So it looks like it doesn't like the event macro. Searching for aui notebook events has turned up a couple others, and substituting them in for wxEVT_COMMAND_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CLOSE hasn't helped anything. I couldn't find anything else in auibook.cpp either. What am I missing here? Can anyone tell me the correct way to catch a tab close event?

Thanks,

Kerry

edit: I should have mentioned I'm using wxWidgets 2.8.7

Try using EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CLOSE() instead of wxEVT_COMMAND_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CLOSE().
