24 @class wxWizardPage
25
26 wxWizardPage is one of the screens in wxWizard: it must know what are the
27 following and preceding pages (which may be @NULL for the first/last page).
28 Except for this extra knowledge, wxWizardPage is just a
29 panel, so the controls may be placed directly on it in the usual way.
30
31 This class allows the programmer to decide the order of pages in the wizard
32 dynamically (during run-time) and so provides maximal flexibility.
33 Usually, however, the order of pages is known in advance in which case
34 wxWizardPageSimple class is enough and it is simpler to use.

37 @section wizardpage_virtuals Virtual functions to override
38
39 To use this class, you must override wxWizardPage::GetPrev() and
40 wxWizardPage::GetNext() pure virtual functions (or you may use
41 wxWizardPageSimple instead).
42 wxWizardPage::GetBitmap() can also be overridden, but this should be very
43 rarely needed.

258
259 wxWizard is the central class for implementing 'wizard-like' dialogs.
260 These dialogs are mostly familiar to Windows users and are nothing other than a
261 sequence of 'pages', each displayed inside a dialog which has the buttons to
262 navigate to the next (and previous) pages.
263
264 The wizards are typically used to decompose a complex dialog into several
265 simple steps and are mainly useful to the novice users, hence it is important
266 to keep them as simple as possible.
267
268 To show a wizard dialog, you must first create an instance of the wxWizard class
269 using either the non-default constructor or a default one followed by call to the
270 wxWizard::Create function. Then you should add all pages you want the wizard to
271 show and call wxWizard::RunWizard().
272 Finally, don't forget to call @c "wizard->Destroy()", otherwise your application
273 will hang on exit due to an undestroyed window.
274
275 You can supply a bitmap to display on the left of the wizard, either for all pages
276 or for individual pages. If you need to have the bitmap resize to the height of
277 the wizard, call wxWizard::SetBitmapPlacement() and if necessary,
278 wxWizard::SetBitmapBackgroundColour() and wxWizard::SetMinimumBitmapWidth().
279
280 To make wizard pages scroll when the display is too small to fit the whole
281 dialog, you can switch layout adaptation on globally with
282 wxDialog::EnableLayoutAdaptation() or per dialog with wxDialog::SetLayoutAdaptationMode().
283 For more about layout adaptation, see @ref overview_dialog_autoscrolling.
284
285 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxWizardEvent}
286 For some events, Veto() can be called to prevent the event from happening.
287 @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_CHANGED(id, func)}
288 The page has just been changed (this event cannot be vetoed).
289 @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_CHANGING(id, func)}
290 The page is being changed (this event can be vetoed).
291 @event{EVT_WIZARD_BEFORE_PAGE_CHANGED(id, func)}

293 the handler for this function can change state that might affect the return value of
294 GetNext. This event can be vetoed.
295 @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_SHOWN(id, func)}
296 The page was shown and laid out (this event cannot be vetoed).
297 @event{EVT_WIZARD_CANCEL(id, func)}
298 The user attempted to cancel the wizard (this event may also be vetoed).
299 @event{EVT_WIZARD_HELP(id, func)}
