10 @class wxWizardPage
11
12 wxWizardPage is one of the screens in wxWizard: it must know what are the
13 following and preceding pages (which may be @NULL for the first/last page).
14 Except for this extra knowledge, wxWizardPage is just a
15 panel, so the controls may be placed directly on it in the usual way.
16
17 This class allows the programmer to decide the order of pages in the wizard
18 dynamically (during run-time) and so provides maximal flexibility.
19 Usually, however, the order of pages is known in advance in which case
20 wxWizardPageSimple class is enough and it is simpler to use.
21
22
23 @section wizardpage_virtuals Virtual functions to override
24
25 To use this class, you must override wxWizardPage::GetPrev() and
26 wxWizardPage::GetNext() pure virtual functions (or you may use
27 wxWizardPageSimple instead).
28 wxWizardPage::GetBitmap() can also be overridden, but this should be very
29 rarely needed.

199
200 wxWizard is the central class for implementing 'wizard-like' dialogs.
201 These dialogs are mostly familiar to Windows users and are nothing other than a
202 sequence of 'pages', each displayed inside a dialog which has the buttons to
203 navigate to the next (and previous) pages.
204
205 The wizards are typically used to decompose a complex dialog into several
206 simple steps and are mainly useful to the novice users, hence it is important
207 to keep them as simple as possible.
208
209 To show a wizard dialog, you must first create an instance of the wxWizard class
210 using either the non-default constructor or a default one followed by call to the
211 wxWizard::Create function. Then you should add all pages you want the wizard to
212 show and call wxWizard::RunWizard().
213 Finally, don't forget to call @c "wizard->Destroy()", otherwise your application
214 will hang on exit due to an undestroyed window.
215
216 You can supply a bitmap to display on the left of the wizard, either for all pages
217 or for individual pages. If you need to have the bitmap resize to the height of
218 the wizard, call wxWizard::SetBitmapPlacement() and if necessary,
219 wxWizard::SetBitmapBackgroundColour() and wxWizard::SetMinimumBitmapWidth().
220
221 To make wizard pages scroll when the display is too small to fit the whole
222 dialog, you can switch layout adaptation on globally with
223 wxDialog::EnableLayoutAdaptation() or per dialog with wxDialog::SetLayoutAdaptationMode().
224 For more about layout adaptation, see @ref overview_dialog_autoscrolling.
225
226 @beginEventTable{wxWizardEvent}
227 For some events, Veto() can be called to prevent the event from happening.
228 @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_CHANGED(id, func)}
229 The page has just been changed (this event cannot be vetoed).
230 @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_CHANGING(id, func)}
231 The page is being changed (this event can be vetoed).
232 @event{EVT_WIZARD_CANCEL(id, func)}
233 The user attempted to cancel the wizard (this event may also be vetoed).
234 @event{EVT_WIZARD_HELP(id, func)}
235 The wizard help button was pressed.
236 @event{EVT_WIZARD_FINISHED(id, func)}
237 The wizard finished button was pressed.

241 @section wizard_extstyles Extended styles

245 call SetExtraStyle(), then call Create).
