\section{\class{wxAuiNotebook}}\label{wxauinotebook}

wxAuiNotebook is part of the wxAUI class framework.
See also \helpref{wxAUI overview}{wxauioverview}.

wxAuiNotebook is a notebook control which implements many features common in applications with dockable panes.
Specifically, wxAuiNotebook implements functionality which allows the user to rearrange tab order via drag-and-drop,
split the tab window into many different splitter configurations, and toggle through different themes to customize
the control's look and feel.

An effort has been made to try to maintain an API as similar to that of wxNotebook.

The default theme that is used is wxAuiDefaultTabArt, which provides a modern, glossy look and feel.
The theme can be changed by calling \helpref{wxAuiNotebook::SetArtProvider}{wxauinotebooksetartprovider}.

\latexignore{\rtfignore{\wxheading{Members}}}

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::wxAuiNotebook}\label{wxauinotebookwxauinotebook}

\func{}{wxAuiNotebook}{\void}

\func{}{wxAuiNotebook}{\param{wxWindow* }{parent}, \param{wxWindowID }{id = wxID\_ANY}, \param{const wxPoint\& }{pos = wxDefaultPosition}, \param{const wxSize\& }{size = wxDefaultSize}, \param{long }{style = wxAUI\_NB\_DEFAULT\_STYLE}}

Constructor. Creates a wxAuiNotebok control.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::AddPage}\label{wxauinotebookaddpage}

\func{bool}{AddPage}{\param{wxWindow* }{page}, \param{const wxString\& }{caption}, \param{bool }{select = false}, \param{const wxBitmap\& }{bitmap = wxNullBitmap}}

Adds a page.  If the {\it select} parameter is true, calling this will generate a page change event.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::Create}\label{wxauinotebookcreate}

\func{bool}{Create}{\param{wxWindow* }{parent}, \param{wxWindowID }{id = wxID\_ANY}, \param{const wxPoint\& }{pos = wxDefaultPosition}, \param{const wxSize\& }{size = wxDefaultSize}, \param{long }{style = 0}}

Creates the notebook window.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::DeletePage}\label{wxauinotebookdeletepage}

\func{bool}{DeletePage}{\param{size\_t }{page}}

Deletes a page at the given index.  Calling this method will generate a page change event.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::GetArtProvider}\label{wxauinotebookgetartprovider}

\constfunc{wxAuiTabArt*}{GetArtProvider}{\void}

Returns the associated art provider.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::GetHeightForPageHeight}\label{wxauinotebookgetheightforpageheight}

\func{int}{GetHeightForPageHeight}{\param{int }{pageHeight}}

Returns the desired height of the notebook for the given page height. Use this to fit the notebook to
a given page size.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::GetPage}\label{wxauinotebookgetpage}

\constfunc{wxWindow*}{GetPage}{\param{size\_t }{page\_idx}}

Returns the page specified by the given index.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::GetPageBitmap}\label{wxauinotebookgetpagebitmap}

\constfunc{wxBitmap}{GetPageBitmap}{\param{size\_t }{page}}

Returns the tab bitmap for the page.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::GetPageCount}\label{wxauinotebookgetpagecount}

\constfunc{size\_t}{GetPageCount}{\void}

Returns the number of pages in the notebook.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::GetPageIndex}\label{wxauinotebookgetpageindex}

\constfunc{int}{GetPageIndex}{\param{wxWindow* }{page\_wnd}}

Returns the page index for the specified window.  If the window is not found in
the notebook, wxNOT\_FOUND is returned.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::GetPageText}\label{wxauinotebookgetpagetext}

\constfunc{wxString}{GetPageText}{\param{size\_t }{page}}

Returns the tab label for the page.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::GetTabCtrlHeight}\label{wxauinotebookgettabctrlheight}

\constfunc{int}{GetTabCtrlHeight}{\void}

Returns the height of the tab control.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::GetSelection}\label{wxauinotebookgetselection}

\constfunc{int}{GetSelection}{\void}

Returns the currently selected page.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::GetTabCtrlHeight}\label{wxauinotebookgettabctrlheight}

\constfunc{int}{GetTabCtrlHeight}{\void}

Returns the height of the tab control.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::InsertPage}\label{wxauinotebookinsertpage}

\func{bool}{InsertPage}{\param{size\_t }{page\_idx}, \param{wxWindow* }{page}, \param{const wxString\& }{caption}, \param{bool }{select = false}, \param{const wxBitmap\& }{bitmap = wxNullBitmap}}

InsertPage() is similar to AddPage, but allows the ability to specify the insert location.
If the {\it select} parameter is true, calling this will generate a page change event.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::RemovePage}\label{wxauinotebookremovepage}

\func{bool}{RemovePage}{\param{size\_t }{page}}

Removes a page, without deleting the window pointer.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::SetArtProvider}\label{wxauinotebooksetartprovider}

\func{void}{SetArtProvider}{\param{wxAuiTabArt* }{art}}

Sets the art provider to be used by the notebook.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::SetFont}\label{wxauinotebooksetfont}

\func{bool}{SetFont}{\param{const wxFont\& }{font}}

Sets the font for drawing the tab labels, using a bold version of the font for selected tab labels.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::SetNormalFont}\label{wxauinotebooksetnormalfont}

\func{void}{SetNormalFont}{\param{const wxFont\& }{font}}

Sets the font for drawing unselected tab labels.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::SetSelectedFont}\label{wxauinotebooksetselectedfont}

\func{void}{SetSelectedFont}{\param{const wxFont\& }{font}}

Sets the font for drawing selected tab labels.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::SetMeasuringFont}\label{wxauinotebooksetmeasuringfont}

\func{void}{SetMeasuringFont}{\param{const wxFont\& }{font}}

Sets the font for measuring tab labels.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::SetPageBitmap}\label{wxauinotebooksetpagebitmap}

\func{bool}{SetPageBitmap}{\param{size\_t }{page}, \param{const wxBitmap\& }{bitmap}}

Sets the bitmap for the page.  To remove a bitmap from the tab caption, pass
wxNullBitmap.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::SetPageText}\label{wxauinotebooksetpagetext}

\func{bool}{SetPageText}{\param{size\_t }{page}, \param{const wxString\& }{text}}

Sets the tab label for the page.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::SetSelection}\label{wxauinotebooksetselection}

\func{size\_t}{SetSelection}{\param{size\_t }{new\_page}}

Sets the page selection.  Calling this method will generate a page change event.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::SetTabCtrlHeight}\label{wxauinotebooksettabctrlheight}

\func{void}{SetTabCtrlHeight}{\param{int }{height}}

Sets the tab height.  By default, the tab control height is calculated
by measuring the text height and bitmap sizes on the tab captions.  Calling this
method will override that calculation and set the tab control to the specified
height parameter.  A call to this method will override any call to SetUniformBitmapSize().
Specifying -1 as the height will return the control to its default auto-sizing behaviour.

\membersection{wxAuiNotebook::SetUniformBitmapSize}\label{wxauinotebooksetuniformbitmapsize}

\func{void}{SetUniformBitmapSize}{\param{const wxSize\& }{size}}

SetUniformBitmapSize() ensures that all tabs will have the same height, even
if some tabs don't have bitmaps.  Passing wxDefaultSize to this function will
instruct the control to use dynamic tab height, which is the default behaviour.
Under the default behaviour, when a tab with a large bitmap is added, the tab control's
height will automatically increase to accommodate the larger bitmap.

\func{void}{Split}{\param{size\_t }{page}, \param{int }{direction}}

Split performs a split operation programmatically. The argument \arg{page} indicates
the page that will be split off.  This page will also become the active page after the
split.  The \arg{direction} argument specifies where the pane should go, it should be one
of the following: wxTOP, wxBOTTOM, wxLEFT, or wxRIGHT.
