\section{\class{wxWizard}}\label{wxwizard}
wxWizard is the central class for implementing `wizard-like' dialogs. These
-dialogs are mostly familiar to Windows users and are nothing else but a
-sequence of `pages' each of them displayed inside a dialog which has the
-buttons to pass to the next (and previous) pages.
+dialogs are mostly familiar to Windows users and are nothing other than a
+sequence of `pages', each displayed inside a dialog which has the
+buttons to navigate to the next (and previous) pages.
The wizards are typically used to decompose a complex dialog into several
simple steps and are mainly useful to the novice users, hence it is important
to keep them as simple as possible.

+To show a wizard dialog, you must first create an instance of the wxWizard class
+using either the non-default constructor or a default one followed by call to the
\helpref{Create}{wxwizardcreate} function. Then you should add all pages you
want the wizard to show and call \helpref{RunWizard}{wxwizardrunwizard}.
-Finally, don't forget to call {\tt wizard->Destroy()}.
+Finally, don't forget to call {\tt wizard->Destroy()}, otherwise your application will hang on exit due to an undestroyed window.
+
+You can supply a bitmap to display on the left of the wizard, either for all pages
+or for individual pages. If you need to have the bitmap resize to the height of the wizard,
+call \helpref{wxWizard::SetBitmapPlacement}{wxwizardsetbitmapplacement} and if necessary,\rtfsp
+\helpref{wxWizard::SetBitmapBackgroundColour}{wxwizardsetbitmapbackgroundcolour} and \helpref{wxWizard::SetMinimumBitmapWidth}{wxwizardsetminimumbitmapwidth}.
+
+To make wizard pages scroll when the display is too small to fit the whole dialog, you can switch
+layout adaptation on globally with \helpref{wxDialog::EnableLayoutAdaptation}{wxdialogenablelayoutadaptation} or
+per dialog with \helpref{wxDialog::SetLayoutAdaptationMode}{wxdialogsetlayoutadaptationmode}. For more
+about layout adaptation, see \helpref{Automatic scrolling dialogs}{autoscrollingdialogs}.
