@section overview_bookctrl_intro Introduction

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:

@li wxChoicebook: controlled by a wxChoice
@li wxListbook: controlled by a wxListCtrl
@li wxNotebook: uses a row of tabs
@li wxTreebook: controlled by a wxTreeCtrl
@li wxToolbook: controlled by a wxToolBar

See the @ref page_samples_notebook for an example of wxBookCtrl usage.

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

@beginTable
@row2col{ wxBookCtrl, wxChoicebook or wxNotebook }
@row2col{ wxBookCtrlEvent, wxChoicebookEvent or wxNotebookEvent }
@row2col{ wxEVT_COMMAND_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGED,
    wxEVT_COMMAND_CHOICEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED or
    wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED }
@row2col{ wxEVT_COMMAND_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGING,
    wxEVT_COMMAND_CHOICEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING or
    wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING }
@row2col{ EVT_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGED(id\, fn),
    EVT_CHOICEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED(id, fn) or
    EVT_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED(id, fn) }
@row2col{ EVT_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGING(id\, fn),
    EVT_CHOICEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING(id, fn) or
    EVT_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING(id, fn) }
@endTable

For orientation of the book controller, use following flags in style:

@li @b wxBK_TOP: controller above pages
@li @b wxBK_BOTTOM: controller below pages
@li @b wxBK_LEFT: controller on the left
@li @b wxBK_RIGHT: controller on the right
@li @b wxBK_DEFAULT: native controller placement
