    @class wxWizardPage
    @wxheader{wizard.h}

    wxWizardPage is one of the screens in wxWizard: it must
    know what are the following and preceding pages (which may be @NULL for the
    first/last page). Except for this extra knowledge, wxWizardPage is just a
    panel, so the controls may be placed directly on it in the usual way.

    This class allows the programmer to decide the order of pages in the wizard
    dynamically (during run-time) and so provides maximal flexibility. Usually,
    however, the order of pages is known in advance in which case
    wxWizardPageSimple class is enough and it is simpler
    to use.

/**
    @class wxWizard
    @wxheader{wizard.h}

    wxWizard is the central class for implementing 'wizard-like' dialogs. These
    dialogs are mostly familiar to Windows users and are nothing other than a
    sequence of 'pages', each displayed inside a dialog which has the
    buttons to navigate to the next (and previous) pages.

    The wizards are typically used to decompose a complex dialog into several
    simple steps and are mainly useful to the novice users, hence it is important
    to keep them as simple as possible.

    To show a wizard dialog, you must first create an instance of the wxWizard class
    using either the non-default constructor or a default one followed by call to
    the
    wxWizard::Create function. Then you should add all pages you
    want the wizard to show and call wxWizard::RunWizard.
    Finally, don't forget to call @c wizard-Destroy(), otherwise your application
    will hang on exit due to an undestroyed window.

    You can supply a bitmap to display on the left of the wizard, either for all
    pages
    or for individual pages. If you need to have the bitmap resize to the height of
    the wizard,
    call wxWizard::SetBitmapPlacement and if necessary,
    wxWizard::SetBitmapBackgroundColour and wxWizard::SetMinimumBitmapWidth.

    To make wizard pages scroll when the display is too small to fit the whole
    dialog, you can switch
    layout adaptation on globally with wxDialog::EnableLayoutAdaptation or
    per dialog with wxDialog::SetLayoutAdaptationMode. For more
    about layout adaptation, see @ref overview_autoscrollingdialogs "Automatic
    scrolling dialogs".

        Page area sizer has a minimal size that is the maximum of several values. First,
