34 @class wxNotebook
35
36 This class represents a notebook control, which manages multiple windows with
37 associated tabs.
38
39 To use the class, create a wxNotebook object and call wxNotebook::AddPage
40 or wxNotebook::InsertPage, passing a window to be used as the page.
41 Do not explicitly delete the window for a page that is currently managed by
42 wxNotebook.
43
44 @b wxNotebookPage is a typedef for wxWindow.
45
46 @beginStyleTable
47 @style{wxNB_TOP}
48 Place tabs on the top side.
49 @style{wxNB_LEFT}
50 Place tabs on the left side.
51 @style{wxNB_RIGHT}
52 Place tabs on the right side.
53 @style{wxNB_BOTTOM}
54 Place tabs under instead of above the notebook pages.
55 @style{wxNB_FIXEDWIDTH}
56 (Windows only) All tabs will have same width.
57 @style{wxNB_MULTILINE}
58 (Windows only) There can be several rows of tabs.
59 @style{wxNB_NOPAGETHEME}
60 (Windows only) Display a solid colour on notebook pages, and not a
61 gradient, which can reduce performance.
62 @style{wxNB_FLAT}
63 (Windows CE only) Show tabs in a flat style.
64 @endStyleTable
65
66 The styles wxNB_LEFT, RIGHT and BOTTOM are not supported under
67 Microsoft Windows XP when using visual themes.
68
69 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxBookCtrlEvent}
70 @event{EVT_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED(id, func)}
71 The page selection was changed.
72 Processes a @c wxEVT_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event.
73 @event{EVT_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING(id, func)}
74 The page selection is about to be changed.
75 Processes a @c wxEVT_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING event.
76 This event can be vetoed.
77 @endEventTable

80 @section notebook_bg Page backgrounds
81
82 On Windows XP, the default theme paints a gradient on the notebook's pages.
83 If you wish to suppress this theme, for aesthetic or performance reasons,
84 there are three ways of doing it.
85 You can use @c wxNB_NOPAGETHEME to disable themed drawing for a particular
86 notebook, you can call wxSystemOptions::SetOption to disable it for the
87 whole application, or you can disable it for individual pages by using
88 SetBackgroundColour().
89
90 To disable themed pages globally:
91 @code
92 wxSystemOptions::SetOption("msw.notebook.themed-background", 0);
93 @endcode
94
95 Set the value to 1 to enable it again.
96 To give a single page a solid background that more or less fits in with the
97 overall theme, use:
98 @code
99 wxColour col = notebook->GetThemeBackgroundColour();
100 if (col.IsOk())
101 {
102 page->SetBackgroundColour(col);
103 }
104 @endcode
105
106 On platforms other than Windows, or if the application is not using Windows
107 themes, GetThemeBackgroundColour() will return an uninitialised colour object,
108 and the above code will therefore work on all platforms.
