/**
    @class wxPropertySheetDialog

    This class represents a property sheet dialog: a tabbed dialog
    for showing settings. It is optimized to show flat tabs
    on PocketPC devices, and can be customized to use different
    controllers instead of the default notebook style.

    To use this class, call Create() from your own Create function.
    Then call CreateButtons(), and create pages, adding them to the book control.
    Finally call LayoutDialog().

    For example:

    @code
    bool MyPropertySheetDialog::Create(...)
    {
        if (!wxPropertySheetDialog::Create(...))
            return false;

        CreateButtons(wxOK|wxCANCEL|wxHELP);

        // Add page
        wxPanel* panel = new wxPanel(GetBookCtrl(), ...);
        GetBookCtrl()->AddPage(panel, "General");

        LayoutDialog();
        return true;
    }
    @endcode

    If necessary, override CreateBookCtrl() and AddBookCtrl() to create and add a
    different kind of book control. You will then need to use two-step construction
    for the dialog or change the style of the book control by calling SetSheetStyle()
    before calling Create().

    The @ref page_samples_dialogs shows this class being used with notebook and toolbook
    controllers (for Windows-style and Mac-style settings dialogs).

    To make pages of the dialog 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.
