\section{wxBookCtrl overview}\label{wxbookctrloverview}

Classes: \helpref{wxNotebook}{wxnotebook}, \helpref{wxListbook}{wxlistbook}, \helpref{wxChoicebook}{wxchoicebook},
\helpref{wxTreebook}{wxtreebook}, \helpref{wxToolbook}{wxtoolbook}

\subsection{Introduction}\label{wxbookctrlintro}

A book control is a convenient way of displaying multiple pages of information,
displayed one page at a time. wxWidgets has five variants of this control:

\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
\item \helpref{wxNotebook}{wxnotebook}: uses a row of tabs
\item \helpref{wxListbook}{wxlistbook}: controlled by a \helpref{wxListCtrl}{wxlistctrl}
\item \helpref{wxChoicebook}{wxchoicebook}: controlled by a \helpref{wxChoice}{wxchoice}
\item \helpref{wxTreebook}{wxtreebook}: controlled by a \helpref{wxTreeCtrl}{wxtreectrl}
\item \helpref{wxToolbook}{wxtoolbook}: controlled by a \helpref{wxToolBar}{wxtoolbar}
\end{itemize}

See \helpref{Notebook sample}{samplenotebook} for an example of wxBookCtrl usage.

\subsection{Best book}\label{wxbestbookctrl}

wxBookCtrl is mapped to the class best suited for a given platform.
Currently it provides \helpref{wxChoicebook}{wxchoicebook} for smartphones equipped with
WinCE, and \helpref{wxNotebook}{wxnotebook} for all other platforms. The mapping consists of:

\twocolwidtha{5cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{wxBookCtrl}{wxChoicebook or wxNotebook}
\twocolitem{wxBookCtrlEvent}{wxChoicebookEvent or wxNotebookEvent}
\twocolitem{wxEVT\_COMMAND\_BOOKCTRL\_PAGE\_CHANGED}{wxEVT\_COMMAND\_CHOICEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGED or wxEVT\_COMMAND\_NOTEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGED}
\twocolitem{wxEVT\_COMMAND\_BOOKCTRL\_PAGE\_CHANGING}{wxEVT\_COMMAND\_CHOICEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGING or wxEVT\_COMMAND\_NOTEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGING}
\twocolitem{EVT\_BOOKCTRL\_PAGE\_CHANGED(id, fn)}{EVT\_CHOICEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGED(id, fn) or EVT\_NOTEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGED(id, fn)}
\twocolitem{EVT\_BOOKCTRL\_PAGE\_CHANGING(id, fn)}{EVT\_CHOICEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGING(id, fn) or EVT\_NOTEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGING(id, fn)}
\end{twocollist}

For orientation of the book controller, use following flags in style:
\twocolwidtha{5cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBK\_TOP}}{controller above pages}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBK\_BOTTOM}}{controller below pages}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBK\_LEFT}}{controller on the left}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBK\_RIGHT}}{controller on the right}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBK\_DEFAULT}}{native controller placement}
\end{twocollist}
