Close/destroy wx.Notebook

[floati...@gmail.com]

I have a five page notebook working fine. However on one page I need to close the entire notebook after an operation completes. self.Close() has no effect and self.Destroy() simply clears the current page. How do I close the whole thing, other than clicking the X top right? Thanks.

The notebook is a parent of its pages. You should be able to do something like self.GetParent().Close()

Sorry no, that doesn't work, no effect and no error!

Perhaps you should show us your code.  It's unusual to want to close a
notebook by itself.  Is your notebook the sole window inside a frame,
and it's really the frame you want to close?

OK, here it is. Much simplified to make for easier reading! All I want is for the button to close the entire notebook.

import wx


class info(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
       
        self.button1 = wx.Button(self,-1,"close")
        self.button1.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onClose)
       
       
    def onClose(self, event):
        self.Close()  
       
       
class sched1(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
        pass
       

    def onClose(self, event):
        self.Close()

       
class sched2(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
        pass
       


class view(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
        pass
       

class history(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
        pass

       
       
###################################Main page##########################################            

class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, title="notebook", size = (600,300))
        p = wx.Panel(self)
        self.nb = wx.Notebook(p)

        self.nb.AddPage(info(self.nb), "Detail")
        self.nb.AddPage(sched1(self.nb), "Scheduling 1")
        self.nb.AddPage(sched2(self.nb), "Scheduling 2")
        self.nb.AddPage(history(self.nb), "History")
        self.nb.AddPage(view(self.nb), "Additional info")

        sizer = wx.BoxSizer()
        sizer.Add(self.nb, 1, wx.EXPAND)
        p.SetSizer(sizer)


       
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.App(True)
    MainFrame().Show()
    app.MainLoop()

Thanks.

Well, here's the issue.   I don't think that's really what  you want. 
This will do what you asked for:
      
    def onClose(self, event):
        self.GetParent().Destroy()

But that leaves an empty frame window.  To do what I expect you really
want, which is to close the frame window, do this:
      
    def onClose(self, event):
        self.GetTopLevelParent().Close()

Tim. That is exactly what I needed. Many thanks.
