    @class wxChoicebook

    wxChoicebook is a class similar to wxNotebook, but uses a wxChoice control
    to show the labels instead of the tabs.

    For usage documentation of this class, please refer to the base abstract class
    wxBookCtrl. You can also use the @ref page_samples_notebook to see wxChoicebook in
    action.

    wxChoicebook allows the use of wxBookCtrlBase::GetControlSizer(), allowing
    a program to add other controls next to the choice control. This is
    particularly useful when screen space is restricted, as it often is when
    wxChoicebook is being employed.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxCHB_DEFAULT}
           Choose the default location for the labels depending on the current
           platform (left everywhere except Mac where it is top).
    @style{wxCHB_TOP}
           Place labels above the page area.
    @style{wxCHB_LEFT}
           Place labels on the left side.
    @style{wxCHB_RIGHT}
           Place labels on the right side.
    @style{wxCHB_BOTTOM}
           Place labels below the page area.
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxBookCtrlEvent}
    @event{EVT_CHOICEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED(id, func)}
        The page selection was changed.
        Processes a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_CHOICEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event.
    @event{EVT_CHOICEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING(id, func)}
        The page selection is about to be changed.
        Processes a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_CHOICEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING event.
        This event can be vetoed (using wxNotifyEvent::Veto()).
