    @class wxNotebookEvent
    @wxheader{notebook.h}

    This class represents the events generated by a notebook control: currently,
    there are two of them. The PAGE_CHANGING event is sent before the current
    page is changed. It allows the program to examine the current page (which
    can be retrieved with
    wxNotebookEvent::GetOldSelection) and to veto the page
    change by calling wxNotifyEvent::Veto if, for example, the
    current values in the controls of the old page are invalid.

    The second event - PAGE_CHANGED - is sent after the page has been changed and
    the program cannot veto it any more, it just informs it about the page change.

    To summarize, if the program is interested in validating the page values
    before allowing the user to change it, it should process the PAGE_CHANGING
    event, otherwise PAGE_CHANGED is probably enough. In any case, it is probably
    unnecessary to process both events at once.

/**
    @class wxNotebook
    @wxheader{notebook.h}

    This class represents a notebook control, which manages multiple windows with
    associated tabs.

    To use the class, create a wxNotebook object and call wxNotebook::AddPage or
    wxNotebook::InsertPage,
    passing a window to be used as the page. Do not explicitly delete the window
    for a page that is currently
    managed by wxNotebook.

    @b wxNotebookPage is a typedef for wxWindow.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxNB_TOP}
           Place tabs on the top side.
    @style{wxNB_LEFT}
           Place tabs on the left side.
    @style{wxNB_RIGHT}
           Place tabs on the right side.
    @style{wxNB_BOTTOM}
           Place tabs under instead of above the notebook pages.
    @style{wxNB_FIXEDWIDTH}
           (Windows only) All tabs will have same width.
    @style{wxNB_MULTILINE}
           (Windows only) There can be several rows of tabs.
    @style{wxNB_NOPAGETHEME}
           (Windows only) Display a solid colour on notebook pages, and not a
           gradient, which can reduce performance.
    @style{wxNB_FLAT}
           (Windows CE only) Show tabs in a flat style.
