17 @class wxToolbook
18
19 wxToolbook is a class similar to wxNotebook but which uses a wxToolBar to
20 show the labels instead of the tabs.
21
22 There is no documentation for this class yet but its usage is identical to
23 wxNotebook (except for the features clearly related to tabs only), so please
24 refer to that class documentation for now. You can also use the
25 @ref page_samples_notebook to see wxToolbook in action.
26
27 @beginStyleTable
28 @style{wxTBK_BUTTONBAR}
29 Use wxButtonToolBar-based implementation under Mac OS (ignored under
30 other platforms).
31 @style{wxTBK_HORZ_LAYOUT}
32 Shows the text and the icons alongside, not vertically stacked (only
33 implement under Windows and GTK 2 platforms as it relies on
34 @c wxTB_HORZ_LAYOUT flag support).
35 @endStyleTable
36
37 The common wxBookCtrl styles described in the @ref overview_bookctrl are
38 also supported.
39
40 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxBookCtrlEvent}
41 @event{EVT_TOOLBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED(id, func)}
42 The page selection was changed.
43 Processes a @c wxEVT_TOOLBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event.
44 @event{EVT_TOOLBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING(id, func)}
45 The page selection is about to be changed.
46 Processes a @c wxEVT_TOOLBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING event.
47 This event can be vetoed (using wxNotifyEvent::Veto()).
