12
13 wxWizardPage is one of the screens in wxWizard: it must
14 know what are the following and preceding pages (which may be @NULL for the
15 first/last page). Except for this extra knowledge, wxWizardPage is just a
16 panel, so the controls may be placed directly on it in the usual way.
17
18 This class allows the programmer to decide the order of pages in the wizard
19 dynamically (during run-time) and so provides maximal flexibility. Usually,
20 however, the order of pages is known in advance in which case
21 wxWizardPageSimple class is enough and it is simpler
22 to use.

176 wxWizard is the central class for implementing 'wizard-like' dialogs. These
177 dialogs are mostly familiar to Windows users and are nothing other than a
178 sequence of 'pages', each displayed inside a dialog which has the
179 buttons to navigate to the next (and previous) pages.
180
181 The wizards are typically used to decompose a complex dialog into several
182 simple steps and are mainly useful to the novice users, hence it is important
183 to keep them as simple as possible.
184
185 To show a wizard dialog, you must first create an instance of the wxWizard class
186 using either the non-default constructor or a default one followed by call to
187 the
188 wxWizard::Create function. Then you should add all pages you
189 want the wizard to show and call wxWizard::RunWizard.
190 Finally, don't forget to call @c wizard-Destroy(), otherwise your application
191 will hang on exit due to an undestroyed window.
192
193 You can supply a bitmap to display on the left of the wizard, either for all
194 pages
195 or for individual pages. If you need to have the bitmap resize to the height of
196 the wizard,
197 call wxWizard::SetBitmapPlacement and if necessary,
198 wxWizard::SetBitmapBackgroundColour and wxWizard::SetMinimumBitmapWidth.
199
200 To make wizard pages scroll when the display is too small to fit the whole
201 dialog, you can switch
202 layout adaptation on globally with wxDialog::EnableLayoutAdaptation or
203 per dialog with wxDialog::SetLayoutAdaptationMode. For more
204 about layout adaptation, see @ref overview_autoscrollingdialogs "Automatic
205 scrolling dialogs".
