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.

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.

204 @class wxWizard
205
206 wxWizard is the central class for implementing 'wizard-like' dialogs.
207 These dialogs are mostly familiar to Windows users and are nothing other than a
208 sequence of 'pages', each displayed inside a dialog which has the buttons to
209 navigate to the next (and previous) pages.
210
211 The wizards are typically used to decompose a complex dialog into several
212 simple steps and are mainly useful to the novice users, hence it is important
213 to keep them as simple as possible.
214
215 To show a wizard dialog, you must first create an instance of the wxWizard class
216 using either the non-default constructor or a default one followed by call to the
217 wxWizard::Create function. Then you should add all pages you want the wizard to
218 show and call wxWizard::RunWizard().
219 Finally, don't forget to call @c "wizard->Destroy()", otherwise your application
220 will hang on exit due to an undestroyed window.
221
222 You can supply a bitmap to display on the left of the wizard, either for all pages
223 or for individual pages. If you need to have the bitmap resize to the height of
224 the wizard, call wxWizard::SetBitmapPlacement() and if necessary,
225 wxWizard::SetBitmapBackgroundColour() and wxWizard::SetMinimumBitmapWidth().
226
227 To make wizard pages scroll when the display is too small to fit the whole
228 dialog, you can switch layout adaptation on globally with
229 wxDialog::EnableLayoutAdaptation() or per dialog with wxDialog::SetLayoutAdaptationMode().
230 For more about layout adaptation, see @ref overview_dialog_autoscrolling.

232 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxWizardEvent}

235 The page has just been changed (this event cannot be vetoed).
236 @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_CHANGING(id, func)}
237 The page is being changed (this event can be vetoed).
238 @event{EVT_WIZARD_BEFORE_PAGE_CHANGED(id, func)}
239 Called after Next is clicked but before GetNext is called. Unlike EVT_WIZARD_CHANGING,
240 the handler for this function can change state that might affect the return value of
241 GetNext. This event can be vetoed.
242 @event{EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_SHOWN(id, func)}
243 The page was shown and laid out (this event cannot be vetoed).
244 @event{EVT_WIZARD_CANCEL(id, func)}
