  12 \section{\class{wxWizardPage}}\label{wxwizardpage}
  13
  14 wxWizardPage is one of the screens in \helpref{wxWizard}{wxwizard}: it must
  15 know what are the following and preceding pages (which may be {\tt NULL} for the
  16 first/last page). Except for this extra knowledge, wxWizardPage is just a
  17 panel, so the controls may be placed directly on it in the usual way.
  18
  19 This class allows to decide what is the orde fo pages in the wizard
  20 dynamically (during run-time) and so providex maximal flexibility. Usually,
  21 however, the order of pages is known in advance in which case
  22 \helpref{wxWizardPageSimple}{wxwizardpagesimple} class is enough and it is simpler
  23 to use.
  24
  25 \wxheading{Virtual functions to override}
  26
  27 To use this class, you must override \helpref{GetPrev}{wxwizardpagegetprev}
  28 and \helpref{GetNext}{wxwizardpagegetnext} pure virtual functions (or you
  29 may use \helpref{wxWizardPageSimple}{wxwizardpagesimple} instead).
  30
  31 \helpref{GetBitmap}{wxwizardpagegetbitmap} can also be overridden, but this
  32 should be very rarely needed.

  53 \func{}{wxWizardPage}{\param{wxWizard* }{parent}, \param{const wxBitmap\& }{bitmap = wxNullBitmap}}
  54
  55 Constructor accepts an optional bitmap which will be used for this page
  56 instead of the default one for this wizard (note that all bitmaps used should
  57 be of the same size). Notice that no other parameters are needed because the
  58 wizard will resize and reposition the page anyhow.

  60 \membersection{wxWizardPage::GetPrev}\label{wxwizardpagegetprev}
  61
  62 \constfunc{wxWizardPage*}{GetPrev}{\void}
  63
  64 Get the page which should be shown when the user chooses the {\tt "Back"}
  65 button: if {\tt NULL} is returned, this button will be disabled. The first
  66 page of the wizard will usually return {\tt NULL} from here, but the others
  67 will not.

  74
  75 \constfunc{wxWizardPage*}{GetNext}{\void}
  76
  77 Get the page which should be shown when the user chooses the {\tt "Next"}
  78 button: if {\tt NULL} is returned, this button will be disabled. The last
  79 page of the wizard will usually return {\tt NULL} from here, but the others
  80 will not.

  86 \membersection{wxWizardPage::GetBitmap}\label{wxwizardpagegetbitmap}
  87
  88 \constfunc{wxBitmap}{GetBitmap}{\void}
  89
  90 This method is called by wxWizard to get the bitmap to display alongside the
  91 page. By default, {\tt m\_bitmap} member variable which was set in the
  92 \helpref{constructor}{wxwizardpagewxwizardpage}.
  93
  94 If the bitmap was not explicitly set (i.e. if {\tt wxNullBitmap} is returned),
  95 the default bitmap for the wizard should be used.
  96
  97 The only cases when you would want to override this function is if the page
  98 bitmap depends dynamically on the user choices, i.e. almost never.

 102 \section{\class{wxWizardPageSimple}}\label{wxwizardpagesimple}
 103
 104 wxWizardPageSimple is the simplest possible
 105 \helpref{wxWizardPage}{wxwizardpage} implementation: it just returns the
 106 pointers given to its constructor from GetNext() and GetPrev() functions.
 107
 108 This makes it very easy to use the obejcts of this class in the wizards where
 109 the pages order is known statically - on the other hand, if this is not the
 110 case you must derive your own class from \helpref{wxWizardPage}{wxwizardpage}
 111 instead.

 134
 135 Constructor takes the previous and next pages. They may be modified later by
 136 \helpref{SetPrev()}{wxwizardpagesimplesetprev} or
 137 \helpref{SetNext()}{wxwizardpagesimplesetnext}.

 146
 147 \func{void}{SetNext}{\param{wxWizardPage* }{next}}

 155 A convenience function to make the pages follow each other.
