Window.MovableByWindowBackground problem on Mac

clement · December 7, 2022, 3:33pm

the method Window.MovableByWindowBackground seems to work only under Windows and does nothing on Mac. Is this a fixed limitation or a bug ?

Example script: MovableByWindowBackground.py (1.0 KB)

thanks,

I can’t answer that. But I can see the handler isn’t implemented on Mac.

@clement it should work on Mac too, but if you are handling any mouse down events on controls you are clicking on, it won’t work.

Thanks @curtisw, i’ve just found that my simplified example posted above does indeed work on Mac.

However the script i need this functionality in contains a tab control covering the whole window background (it’s tab pages). In this case it does not seem to be possible to move the window if it is dragged from an empty space of a tab page. Is this because the tab titles are handling mouse events ? (The pages don’t as far as i understand).
