Hi!

I'm struggling with wxNotebook, specifically with switching between pages. I want to be able to trigger something on one page of a notebook and have my script switch to a different page, but I cannot seem to even get a simple case of a button on one page triggering a switch to a second page to work. The documentation seems to indicate that I should be using the ChangeSelection() method, and I find the same answer searching onling, but it  seems to do precisely nothing. I thought maybe I had overlooked a Refresh or Update call, but they seem to make no difference.

(I'm running Python 2.7.1 and wxPython 2.8.11.0 on a Macbook - OSX 10.6.8).

Any suggestions/advice appreciated.

It looks like SetSelection() works for me on Windows, Python 2.7.3 , wxPython 2.9.3.1. I have attached an example you can look at too.

EXTRA NOTE: I just tried it with ChangeSelection too and it worked for me as well...

Please make a runnable, small as possible, sample application that
demonstrates the problem. http://wiki.wxpython.org/MakingSampleApps

Mike, thank you very much! Your example worked, and from it I was able to see where I was going wrong. (Specifically, I was trying to call a method at the frame level to do what I wanted, which didn't generate any errors, but didn't give me the result I wanted either.)

Thanks again,

Brett Duncan
