  11
  12     Holder of property grid page information. You can subclass this and
  13     give instance in wxPropertyGridManager::AddPage. It inherits from
  14     wxEvtHandler and can be used to process events specific to this
  15     page (id of events will still be same as manager's). If you don't
  16     want to use it to process all events of the page, you need to
  17     return @false in the derived wxPropertyGridPage::IsHandlingAllEvents.
  18
  19     Please note that wxPropertyGridPage lacks many non-const property
  20     manipulation functions found in wxPropertyGridManager.
  21     Please use parent manager (m_manager member variable) when needed.
  22
  23     Please note that most member functions are inherited and as such not
  24     documented on this page. This means you will probably also want to read
  25     wxPropertyGridInterface class reference.
  26
  27     @section propgridpage_event_handling Event Handling
  28
  29     wxPropertyGridPage receives events emitted by its wxPropertyGridManager, but
  30     only those events that are specific to that page. If wxPropertyGridPage::
  31     IsHandlingAllEvents returns false, then unhandled events are sent to the
  32     manager's parent, as usual.
  33
  34     See @ref propgrid_event_handling "wxPropertyGrid Event Handling"
  35     for more information.

 129
 130     wxPropertyGridManager is an efficient multi-page version of wxPropertyGrid,
 131     which can optionally have toolbar for mode and page selection, a help text
 132     box, and a header.
 133
 134     wxPropertyGridManager inherits from wxPropertyGridInterface, and as such
 135     it has most property manipulation functions. However, only some of them affect
 136     properties on all pages (eg. GetPropertyByName() and ExpandAll()), while some
 137     (eg. Append()) only apply to the currently selected page.
 138
 139     To operate explicitly on properties on specific page, use
 140     wxPropertyGridManager::GetPage() to obtain pointer to page's
 141     wxPropertyGridPage object.
 142
 143     Visual methods, such as SetCellBackgroundColour() are only available in
 144     wxPropertyGrid. Use wxPropertyGridManager::GetGrid() to obtain pointer to it.
 145
 146     Non-virtual iterators will not work in wxPropertyGridManager. Instead, you must
 147     acquire the internal grid (GetGrid()) or wxPropertyGridPage object (GetPage()).
 148
 149     wxPropertyGridManager constructor has exact same format as wxPropertyGrid
 150     constructor, and basicly accepts same extra window style flags (albeit also
 151     has some extra ones).
 152
 153     Here's some example code for creating and populating a wxPropertyGridManager:
 154
 155     @code
 156         wxPropertyGridManager* pgMan = new wxPropertyGridManager(this, PGID,
 157             wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize,
 158             // These and other similar styles are automatically
 159             // passed to the embedded wxPropertyGrid.
 160             wxPG_BOLD_MODIFIED|wxPG_SPLITTER_AUTO_CENTER|
 161             // Include toolbar.
 162             wxPG_TOOLBAR |
 163             // Include description box.
 164             wxPG_DESCRIPTION |
 165             // Include compactor.
 166             wxPG_COMPACTOR |
 167             // Plus defaults.
 168             wxPGMAN_DEFAULT_STYLE
 169            );
 170
 171         wxPropertyGridPage* page;
 172
 173         page = pgMan->AddPage("First Page");
 174
 175         page->Append( new wxPropertyCategory("Category A1") );
 176
 177         page->Append( new wxIntProperty("Number",wxPG_LABEL,1) );
 178
 179         page->Append( new wxColourProperty("Colour",wxPG_LABEL,*wxWHITE) );
 180
 181         page = pgMan->AddPage("Second Page");
 182
 183         page->Append( "Text",wxPG_LABEL,"(no text)" );
 184
 185         page->Append( new wxFontProperty("Font",wxPG_LABEL) );
 186
