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.
35
36
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.

279 @class wxWizard
280
281 wxWizard is the central class for implementing 'wizard-like' dialogs.
282 These dialogs are mostly familiar to Windows users and are nothing other than a
283 sequence of 'pages', each displayed inside a dialog which has the buttons to
284 navigate to the next (and previous) pages.
285
286 The wizards are typically used to decompose a complex dialog into several
287 simple steps and are mainly useful to the novice users, hence it is important
288 to keep them as simple as possible.
289
290 To show a wizard dialog, you must first create an instance of the wxWizard class
291 using either the non-default constructor or a default one followed by call to the
292 wxWizard::Create function. Then you should add all pages you want the wizard to
293 show and call wxWizard::RunWizard().
294 Finally, don't forget to call @c "wizard->Destroy()", otherwise your application
295 will hang on exit due to an undestroyed window.
296
297 You can supply a bitmap to display on the left of the wizard, either for all pages
298 or for individual pages. If you need to have the bitmap resize to the height of
299 the wizard, call wxWizard::SetBitmapPlacement() and if necessary,
300 wxWizard::SetBitmapBackgroundColour() and wxWizard::SetMinimumBitmapWidth().
301
302 To make wizard pages scroll when the display is too small to fit the whole
303 dialog, you can switch layout adaptation on globally with
304 wxDialog::EnableLayoutAdaptation() or per dialog with wxDialog::SetLayoutAdaptationMode().
305 For more about layout adaptation, see @ref overview_dialog_autoscrolling.
306
307 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxWizardEvent}
308 For some events, Veto() can be called to prevent the event from happening.
309 @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_CHANGED(id, func)}
310 The page has just been changed (this event cannot be vetoed).
311 @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_CHANGING(id, func)}
312 The page is being changed (this event can be vetoed).
313 @event{EVT_WIZARD_BEFORE_PAGE_CHANGED(id, func)}
314 Called after Next is clicked but before GetNext is called. Unlike EVT_WIZARD_CHANGING,
315 the handler for this function can change state that might affect the return value of
316 GetNext. This event can be vetoed.
317 @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_SHOWN(id, func)}
318 The page was shown and laid out (this event cannot be vetoed).
319 @event{EVT_WIZARD_CANCEL(id, func)}
320 The user attempted to cancel the wizard (this event may also be vetoed).
321 @event{EVT_WIZARD_HELP(id, func)}
