wx.aui.AuiNotebook with a matplotlib figure on each page CTRL-TAB page to page navigation does not work in OSX works in windows

Hi I am using

wxpython : 2.9.4.0

matplotlib : 1.3

osx Lion

In my application I have a number of matplotlib figure objects, one on each page of the wx.aui.AuiNotebook .The pages are each a figure and arranged as tabs on the top of the wxpython frame like embedding in wx5 example from the matplotlib gallery.

On Windows I can navigate from page to page of the Notebook using CTRL-TAB and CTRL-SHIFT-TAB.

However on OSX -Lion , neither the CTRL-TAB, nor Alt/Tab navigate from page to page.

Instead what happens is that the “mouse selection” moves from icon to icon i.e from the “Home” to the "Pan-zoom " icon on the bottom of the matplotlib figure. The wxAuiNotebook is oblvious of these mouse events.

Does anyone know how to restore the windows os behavior where CTRL-TAB changes the page of the Notebook on OSX. How do I prevent the matplotlib figure object from intercepting these events.

Thanks

Hello all,

It turns out the command-(APPLE) -TAB does work to change the focus from page to page but only if the mouse is centered on top of the actual tab area . In windows mouse focus anywhere on the figure allows CTRL-TAB page flipping. But in OSX it only works when focussed on the acutal tab rectangle.

I checked what this was the behavior with the official wxpython wxAUINotebook demo application as well.

Thanks

Hari
