60 @class wxPropertySheetDialog
61
62 This class represents a property sheet dialog: a tabbed dialog
63 for showing settings. It is optimized to show flat tabs
64 on PocketPC devices, and can be customized to use different
65 controllers instead of the default notebook style.
66
67 To use this class, call Create() from your own Create function.
68 Then call CreateButtons(), and create pages, adding them to the book control.
69 Finally call LayoutDialog().
70
71 For example:
72
73 @code
74 bool MyPropertySheetDialog::Create(...)
75 {
76 if (!wxPropertySheetDialog::Create(...))
77 return false;
78
79 CreateButtons(wxOK|wxCANCEL|wxHELP);
80
81 // Add page
82 wxPanel* panel = new wxPanel(GetBookCtrl(), ...);
83 GetBookCtrl()->AddPage(panel, "General");
84
85 LayoutDialog();
86 return true;
87 }
88 @endcode
89
90 If necessary, override CreateBookCtrl() and AddBookCtrl() to create and add a
91 different kind of book control. You will then need to use two-step construction
92 for the dialog or change the style of the book control by calling SetSheetStyle()
93 before calling Create().
94
95 The @ref page_samples_dialogs shows this class being used with notebook and toolbook
96 controllers (for Windows-style and Mac-style settings dialogs).
97
98 To make pages of the dialog scroll when the display is too small to fit the
99 whole dialog, you can switch layout adaptation on globally with
100 wxDialog::EnableLayoutAdaptation() or per dialog with
101 wxDialog::SetLayoutAdaptationMode().
102
103 For more about layout adaptation, see @ref overview_dialog_autoscrolling.
