I found code on here a while ago that allows for the addition of a close button on the tab of notebooks in tkinter but I want to be able to combine a regular notebook (without the close button) with a custom notebook. When I tried to do this I get a set of tabs with the regular notebook and then below it another set of tabs with the custom notebook.
As suggested, I've included the picture below showing what currently happens but what I'm looking for is to have all of the tabs together (where the red would be inline with the orange, green, blue, etc. tabs) but would not have the x that allows it to be closed.
The code I've been trying to alter is:
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.ttk as ttk
#----------------------------------------------------------
class CustomNotebook(ttk.Notebook):
'''
A ttk Notebook with close buttons
on each tab
'''
__initialized = False
#------------------------------------------------------
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
if not self.__initialized:
self.__initialize_custom_style()
self.__inititialized = True
kwargs['style'] = 'CustomNotebook'
ttk.Notebook.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self._active = None
self.bind('<ButtonPress-1>', self.on_close_press, True)
self.bind('<ButtonRelease-1>', self.on_close_release)
#------------------------------------------------------
def on_close_press(self, event):
'''
Called when the button is pressed
over the close button
'''
element = self.identify(event.x, event.y)
if 'close' in element:
index = self.index('@%d,%d' % (event.x, event.y))
self.state(['pressed'])
self._active = index
#------------------------------------------------------
def on_close_release(self, event):
'''
Called when the button is released
over the close button
'''
if not self.instate(['pressed']):
return
element = self.identify(event.x, event.y)
index = self.index('@%d,%d' % (event.x, event.y))
if 'close' in element and self._active == index:
self.forget(index)
self.event_generate('<<NotebookTabClosed>>')
self.state(['!pressed'])
self._active = None
#------------------------------------------------------
def __initialize_custom_style(self):
style = ttk.Style()
self.images = (
tk.PhotoImage('img_close', data='''

)
style.element_create('close', 'image', 'img_close',
('active', 'pressed', '!disabled', 'img_closepressed'),
('active', '!disabled', 'img_closeactive'), border=8, sticky='')
style.layout('CustomNotebook', [('CustomNotebook.client', {'sticky': 'nswe'})])
style.layout('CustomNotebook.Tab', [
('CustomNotebook.tab', {
'sticky': 'nswe',
'children': [
('CustomNotebook.padding', {
'side': 'top',
'sticky': 'nswe',
'children': [
('CustomNotebook.focus', {
'side': 'top',
'sticky': 'nswe',
'children': [
('CustomNotebook.label', {'side': 'left', 'sticky': ''}),
('CustomNotebook.close', {'side': 'left', 'sticky': ''}),
]
})
]
})
]
})
])
#----------------------------------------------------------
if __name__ == '__main__':
root = tk.Tk()
note = ttk.Notebook(width=200, height=200)
note.pack(side='top', fill='both', expand=True)
notebook = CustomNotebook(width=200, height=200)
notebook.pack(side='top', fill='both', expand=True)
for color in ('red', 'orange', 'green', 'blue', 'violet'):
if color == 'red':
frame = tk.Frame(note, background=color)
note.add(frame, text=color)
else:
frame = tk.Frame(notebook, background=color)
notebook.add(frame, text=color)
root.mainloop()
I'm guessing that I have to use the custom notebook and cause one of the tabs to not use the close features but I don't know how to implement that. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'd also like to say thanks to Bryan Oakley for providing the CustomNotebook class which I found on the following post: Is there a way to add close buttons to tabs in tkinter.ttk.Notebook?
