New tab control

[jfouche]

Hello Eran

i would like to know why did you decide to move your perfect Notebook control to the OS one ?
We can't move tabs anymore

[eranif]

There were few reasons for this change, the main one:
the notebook control code was broken under wx29 code. And most of the functionality can be achieved using the native notebook control - this will be the 4th time I will be re-writing the notebook control and I decided that it will be easier to simply use the native control.

The drag-n-drop will be re-implemented for the native control as well.

Do you mean wxFlatNotebook?
I though it was perfect. Anyway snce I'm downloading the latest SVN codelite, I will see!
Hope those beautiful tabs in Fancy mode arent gone

codelite was not using wxFlatNotebook, it was using another notebook control which was not released separately

Hope those beautiful tabs in Fancy mode arent gone

They are no longer in the repository - you can get them if you check out the previous version of codelite (e.g. revision 3833)

Tabs re-ordering is enabled again using the native notebook control

Hi Eran,

I understand the reasons you changed the notebook and I find it quiet OK for MSW, but for OSX this solution is ugly and unhandy.
You can't close an editor tab anymore without using the context menu.
If you have opened a lot of files in the editor, the tabs are not reachable anymore.
The output pane buttons are without text and therefor very small in the left corner.

BTW tabs re-ordering is not working for OSX. (CL 3926)

Don't know how it is for LINUX

Why did you actually moved to wxWidgets 2.9, I remember that you once preferred to use only official releases of wxWidgets?

I did not move to wx29 yet, but those problem will exist in 3.0 (which will be in few months.

- I know about the OSX problem (small toolbar at the bottom - this will be fixed)
- I am planning of adding another drop-down button for opened files

You can't close an editor tab anymore without using the context menu.

Middle click works for me (OSX 10.5.6)

if you have opened a lot of files in the editor, the tabs are not reachable anymore.

Ctrl-TAB will switch to them. (although you wont be able to see the tab itself)

The output pane buttons are without text and therefor very small in the left corner.

I am replacing it for OSX only (I already noticed this)

Ubuntu 9.10 / CL (svn: 3940, complied few minutes ago)
Tabs re-ordering not working

The tabs re-ordering for the editors is not enabled (and probably wont be enabled in the near future)

The tabs re-ordering for the side panes (Workspace or Debugger) is working with a little annoyance: the dragged tab is not made active after dropping it (this is the reason why the main editor's tab re-ordering is not active)

Enabling GTK native tab-reodrdering has a nice visual affects HOWEVER it can not be used with wxWidgets internal implementation of wxNotebook

Why you not using wxAuiNotebook?
It's can to open multiple tabs in one window.
That it could have been great in CodeLite
See screenshot (my old app, js editor).

Thanks.
