/**
    @class wxBookCtrlEvent

    This class represents the events generated by book controls (wxNotebook,
    wxListbook, wxChoicebook, wxTreebook).
    The PAGE_CHANGING events are sent before the current page is changed.
    It allows the program to examine the current page (which can be retrieved
    with wxBookCtrlEvent::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 PAGE_CHANGED events are 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.
