10 @class wxBookCtrlBase
11
12 A book control is a convenient way of displaying multiple pages of information,
13 displayed one page at a time. wxWidgets has five variants of this control:
14
15 @li wxChoicebook: controlled by a wxChoice
16 @li wxListbook: controlled by a wxListCtrl
17 @li wxNotebook: uses a row of tabs
18 @li wxTreebook: controlled by a wxTreeCtrl
19 @li wxToolbook: controlled by a wxToolBar
20
21 This abstract class is the parent of all these book controls, and provides
22 their basic interface.
23 This is a pure virtual class so you cannot allocate it directly.

348 @class wxBookCtrlEvent
349
350 This class represents the events generated by book controls (wxNotebook,
351 wxListbook, wxChoicebook, wxTreebook).
352
353 The PAGE_CHANGING events are sent before the current page is changed.
354 It allows the program to examine the current page (which can be retrieved
355 with wxBookCtrlEvent::GetOldSelection) and to veto the page change by calling
356 wxNotifyEvent::Veto if, for example, the current values in the controls
357 of the old page are invalid.
358
359 The PAGE_CHANGED events are sent after the page has been changed and the
360 program cannot veto it any more, it just informs it about the page change.
361
362 To summarize, if the program is interested in validating the page values
363 before allowing the user to change it, it should process the PAGE_CHANGING
364 event, otherwise PAGE_CHANGED is probably enough. In any case, it is
365 probably unnecessary to process both events at once.
