  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 the programmer to decide the order of pages in the wizard
  20 dynamically (during run-time) and so provides 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}, \param{const wxChar }{*resource = NULL}}
  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 \wxheading{Parameters}
  61
  62 \docparam{parent}{The parent wizard}
  63
  64 \docparam{bitmap}{The page-specific bitmap if different from the global one}
  65
  66 \docparam{resource}{Load the page from the specified resource if non NULL}
  67
  68 \membersection{wxWizardPage::GetPrev}\label{wxwizardpagegetprev}
  69
  70 \constfunc{wxWizardPage*}{GetPrev}{\void}
  71
  72 Get the page which should be shown when the user chooses the {\tt "Back"}
  73 button: if {\tt NULL} is returned, this button will be disabled. The first
  74 page of the wizard will usually return {\tt NULL} from here, but the others
  75 will not.

  81 \membersection{wxWizardPage::GetNext}\label{wxwizardpagegetnext}
  82
  83 \constfunc{wxWizardPage*}{GetNext}{\void}
  84
  85 Get the page which should be shown when the user chooses the {\tt "Next"}
  86 button: if {\tt NULL} is returned, this button will be disabled. The last
  87 page of the wizard will usually return {\tt NULL} from here, but the others
  88 will not.

  93
  94 \membersection{wxWizardPage::GetBitmap}\label{wxwizardpagegetbitmap}
  95
  96 \constfunc{wxBitmap}{GetBitmap}{\void}
  97
  98 This method is called by wxWizard to get the bitmap to display alongside the
  99 page. By default, {\tt m\_bitmap} member variable which was set in the
 100 \helpref{constructor}{wxwizardpagewxwizardpage}.
 101
 102 If the bitmap was not explicitly set (i.e. if {\tt wxNullBitmap} is returned),
 103 the default bitmap for the wizard should be used.
 104
 105 The only cases when you would want to override this function is if the page
 106 bitmap depends dynamically on the user choices, i.e. almost never.

 110 \section{\class{wxWizardPageSimple}}\label{wxwizardpagesimple}
 111
 112 wxWizardPageSimple is the simplest possible
 113 \helpref{wxWizardPage}{wxwizardpage} implementation: it just returns the
 114 pointers given to its constructor from GetNext() and GetPrev() functions.
 115
 116 This makes it very easy to use the objects of this class in the wizards where
 117 the pages order is known statically - on the other hand, if this is not the
 118 case you must derive your own class from \helpref{wxWizardPage}{wxwizardpage}
 119 instead.

 144 Constructor takes the previous and next pages. They may be modified later by

 170
 171     wxWizardPageSimple::Chain(page3, page4);
