wxNotebook - GetSelection issue Topic is solved

[wxuser]

Hi all,

I have been trying to add a feature similar to whats in firefox. middle mouse button closing the page.

But the problem is GetSelection always gives the visible page regardless of what page i click on.

for example
Page1 | Page2 | Page3

If 'Page3' is currently selected, even if i middle click on 'Page1', 'Page3' is closed.

And the documentation also tells that GetSelection always gives the previous one. Is there a workaround for this. or has anyone tried this on wxNotebook.

thanks in advance

Maybe you could have a look at the wxNotebook::HitTest function

wxNotebook::HitTest
int HitTest(const wxPoint& pt, long *flags = NULL)

Returns the index of the tab at the specified position or wxNOT_FOUND if none. If flags parameter is non NULL, the position of the point inside the tab is returned as well.

NB: This method is currently only implemented under wxMSW and wxUniv.

Thanks a lot benedicte,

it works perfectly on windows. But will be porting the app into linux in a couple of weeks, any ideas for a platform independent solution.

thanks

PS: I would like to wait few more hours for any other ideas before accepting the solution, hope its ok.

In fact, wxNotebook::HitTest() was implemented on GTK by Daniel Lundqvist in wxWidgets 2.5.1. (see CHANGES.TXT in the wx install dir).

Hi,
How can I use Function wxNotebook::HitTest() ?
It returns always -1. Why ?

[benedicte]

from the wxWidgets documentation:

NB: This method is currently only implemented under wxMSW and wxUniv.

Which platform are you trying to use it on ?

MS Windows.
