   1 \section{\class{wxNotebook}}\label{wxnotebook}
   2
   3 This class represents a notebook control, which manages multiple windows with associated tabs.
   4
   5 To use the class, create a wxNotebook object and call \helpref{AddPage}{wxnotebookaddpage} or \helpref{InsertPage}{wxnotebookinsertpage},
   6 passing a window to be used as the page. Do not explicitly delete the window for a page that is currently
   7 managed by wxNotebook.
   8
   9 {\bf wxNotebookPage} is a typedef for wxWindow.

  39 To process input from a notebook control, use the following event handler macros to direct input to member
  40 functions that take a \helpref{wxNotebookEvent}{wxnotebookevent} argument.

  46 This can be prevented by calling \helpref{Veto()}{wxnotifyeventveto}.}
