To show a wizard dialog, you must first create an object of wxWizard class
-using \helpref{Create}{wxwizardcreate} function. Then you should add all pages
-you want the wizard to show and call \helpref{RunWizard}{wxwizardrunwizard}.
+using either the non default constructor or a default one followed by call to
+\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()}.
\wxheading{Derived from}
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_WIZARD\_CANCEL(id, func)}}{The user attempted to cancel
the wizard (this event may also be vetoed).}
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_WIZARD\_HELP(id, func)}}{The wizard help button was pressed.}
+\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_WIZARD\_FINISHED(id, func)}}{The wizard finished button was pressed.}

-Default constructor. Use this if you wish to derive from wxWizard and then call {\bf Create}, for example
-if you wish to set an extra style with \helpref{wxWindow::SetExtraStyle}{wxwindowsetextrastyle}.
+Default constructor. Use this if you wish to derive from wxWizard and then call

-Creates the wizard dialog. The wizard should not be deleted
-directly, you should rather call {\tt Destroy()} on it and wxWindows will
-delete it itself.
+Constructor which really creates the wizard -- if you use this constructor, you
+shouldn't call \helpref{Create}{wxwizardcreate}.
Notice that unlike almost all other wxWindows classes, there is no {\it size}
parameter in wxWizard constructor because the wizard will have a predefined
default size by default. If you want to change this, you should use the
-\helpref{SetPageSize}{wxwizardsetpagesize} function.
+\helpref{GetPageAreaSizer}{wxwizardgetpageareasizer} function.
\wxheading{Parameters}
\docparam{pos}{The position of the dialog, it will be centered on the screen
by default.}
+\docparam{style}{Window style is passed to wxDialog.}

+\helpref{GetPageAreaSizer}{wxwizardgetpageareasizer} function.
\wxheading{Parameters}
\docparam{pos}{The position of the dialog, it will be centered on the screen
by default.}
-\membersection{wxWizard::RunWizard}\label{wxwizardrunwizard}
+\docparam{style}{Window style is passed to wxDialog.}
-\func{bool}{RunWizard}{\param{wxWizardPage* }{firstPage}}
-Executes the wizard starting from the given page, returns {\tt TRUE} if it was
-successfully finished or {\tt FALSE} if user cancelled it. The {\it firstPage}
-can not be {\tt NULL}.
+\membersection{wxWizard::FitToPage}\label{wxwizardfittopage}
+
+\func{void}{FitToPage}{\param{const wxWizardPage* }{firstPage}}
+
+This method is obsolete, use
+\helpref{GetPageAreaSizer}{wxwizardgetpageareasizer} instead.
+
+Sets the page size to be big enough for all the pages accessible via the
+given {\it firstPage}, i.e. this page, its next page and so on.
+
+This method may be called more than once and it will only change the page size
+if the size required by the new page is bigger than the previously set one.
+This is useful if the decision about which pages to show is taken during the
+run-time as in this case, the wizard won't be able to get to all pages starting
+from a single one and you should call {\it Fit} separately for the others.
+
\membersection{wxWizard::GetCurrentPage}\label{wxwizardgetcurrentpage}
Get the current page while the wizard is running. {\tt NULL} is returned if
\helpref{RunWizard()}{wxwizardrunwizard} is not being executed now.
+
+\membersection{wxWizard::GetPageAreaSizer}\label{wxwizardgetpageareasizer}
+
+\constfunc{virtual wxSizer*}{GetPageAreaSizer}{\void}
+
+Returns pointer to page area sizer. Wizard is laid out using sizers and
+page area sizer is the place holder for the pages. All pages are resized before
+being shown to match the wizard page area.
+
+Page area sizer has minimal size that is maximum of several values. First,
+all pages (or other objects) added to the sizer. Second, all pages reachable
+by repeatedly applying
+\helpref{wxWizardPage::GetNext}{wxwizardpagegetnext} to
+any page inserted into the sizer. Third,
+minimal size specified using \helpref{SetPageSize}{wxwizardsetpagesize} and
+\helpref{FitToPage}{wxwizardfittopage}. Fourth, the total wizard height may
+be increased to accomodate the bitmap height. Fifth and finally, wizards are
+never smaller some built-in minimal size to avoid too small wizards.
+
+Caller can use \helpref{wxSizer::SetMinSize}{wxsizersetminsize} to enlarge it
+beyond minimal size. If {\tt wxRESIZE\_BORDER} was passed to constructor, user
+can resize wizard and consequently page area (but not make it smaller than the
+minimal size).
+
+It is recommended to add first page to page area sizer. For simple wizards,
+this will enlarge the wizard to fit biggest page. For non-linear wizards,
+first page of every separate chain should be added. Caller-specified size
+can be accomplished using \helpref{wxSizer::SetMinSize}{wxsizersetminsize}.
+
+Adding pages to page area sizer affects default border width around page
+area that can be altered with \helpref{SetBorder}{wxwizardsetborder}.
+
+
\membersection{wxWizard::GetPageSize}\label{wxwizardgetpagesize}
\constfunc{wxSize}{GetPageSize}{\void}
Returns the size available for the pages.
+
+\membersection{wxWizard::HasNextPage}\label{wxwizardhasnextpage}
+
+\func{virtual bool}{HasNextPage}{\param{wxWizardPage *}{page}}
+
+Return {\tt true} if this page is not the last one in the wizard. The base
+class version implements this by calling
+\helpref{page->GetNext}{wxwizardpagegetnext} but this could be undesirable if,
+for example, the pages are created on demand only.
+

+
+\helpref{HasPrevPage}{wxwizardhasprevpage}
+
+
+\membersection{wxWizard::HasPrevPage}\label{wxwizardhasprevpage}
+
+\func{virtual bool}{HasPrevPage}{\param{wxWizardPage *}{page}}
+
+Return {\tt true} if this page is not the last one in the wizard. The base
+class version implements this by calling
+\helpref{page->GetPrev}{wxwizardpagegetprev} but this could be undesirable if,
+for example, the pages are created on demand only.
+

+
+\helpref{HasNextPage}{wxwizardhasnextpage}
+
+
+\membersection{wxWizard::RunWizard}\label{wxwizardrunwizard}
+
+\func{bool}{RunWizard}{\param{wxWizardPage* }{firstPage}}
+
+Executes the wizard starting from the given page, returns {\tt true} if it was
+successfully finished or {\tt false} if user cancelled it. The {\it firstPage}
+can not be {\tt NULL}.
+
+
\membersection{wxWizard::SetPageSize}\label{wxwizardsetpagesize}
\func{void}{SetPageSize}{\param{const wxSize\& }{sizePage}}
+This method is obsolete, use
+\helpref{GetPageAreaSizer}{wxwizardgetpageareasizer} instead.
+
Sets the minimal size to be made available for the wizard pages. The wizard
will take into account the size of the bitmap (if any) itself. Also, the
wizard will never be smaller than the default size.
\helpref{wxSizer::CalcMin}{wxsizercalcmin} in a loop to calculate the maximum
of minimal sizes of the pages and pass it to SetPageSize().
+
+\membersection{wxWizard::SetBorder}\label{wxwizardsetborder}
+
+\func{void}{SetBorder}{\param{int }{border}}
+
+Sets width of border around page area. Default is zero. For backward
+compatibility, if there are no pages in
+\helpref{GetPageAreaSizer}{wxwizardgetpageareasizer}, default is $5$ pixels.
+
+If there is five point border around all controls in a page and border around
+page area is left zero, five point white space along all dialog borders
+will be added to control border to space page controls ten points from dialog
+border and non-page controls.
