    @class wxWizardPage

    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.


    @section wizardpage_virtuals Virtual functions to override

    To use this class, you must override wxWizardPage::GetPrev() and
    wxWizardPage::GetNext() pure virtual functions (or you may use
    wxWizardPageSimple instead).
    wxWizardPage::GetBitmap() can also be overridden, but this should be very
    rarely needed.

/**
    @class wxWizard

    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_dialog_autoscrolling.

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxWizardEvent}
    For some events, Veto() can be called to prevent the event from happening.
    @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_CHANGED(id, func)}
        The page has just been changed (this event cannot be vetoed).
    @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_CHANGING(id, func)}
        The page is being changed (this event can be vetoed).
    @event{EVT_WIZARD_BEFORE_PAGE_CHANGED(id, func)}
        Called after Next is clicked but before GetNext is called. Unlike EVT_WIZARD_CHANGING,
        the handler for this function can change state that might affect the return value of
        GetNext. This event can be vetoed.
    @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_SHOWN(id, func)}
        The page was shown and laid out (this event cannot be vetoed).
    @event{EVT_WIZARD_CANCEL(id, func)}
        The user attempted to cancel the wizard (this event may also be vetoed).
    @event{EVT_WIZARD_HELP(id, func)}
        The wizard help button was pressed.
    @event{EVT_WIZARD_FINISHED(id, func)}
        The wizard finished button was pressed.
    @endEventTable


    @section wizard_extstyles Extended styles

    Use the wxWindow::SetExtraStyle() function to set the following style.
    You will need to use two-step construction (use the default constructor,
    call SetExtraStyle(), then call Create).

    @beginExtraStyleTable
    @style{wxWIZARD_EX_HELPBUTTON}
        Shows a Help button using wxID_HELP.
    @endExtraStyleTable

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