Best Book

A book control is a convenient way of displaying multiple pages of information, displayed one page at a time.

wxWidgets has five variants of this control:

wxChoicebook: controlled by a wxChoice
wxListbook: controlled by a wxListCtrl
wxNotebook: uses a row of tabs
wxSimplebook: doesn't allow the user to change the page at all.
wxTreebook: controlled by a wxTreeCtrl
wxToolbook: controlled by a wxToolBar

See the Notebook Sample for an example of wxBookCtrl usage.

Notice that wxSimplebook is special in that it only allows the program to change the selection, thus it's usually used in slightly different circumstances than the other variants.

wxBookCtrl is mapped to the class best suited for a given platform. Currently it provides wxChoicebook for smartphones equipped with WinCE, and wxNotebook for all other platforms. The mapping consists of:

wxBookCtrl	wxChoicebook or wxNotebook
`wxEVT_COMMAND_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGED`	`wxEVT_COMMAND_CHOICEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED` or `wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED`
`wxEVT_COMMAND_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGING`	`wxEVT_COMMAND_CHOICEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING` or `wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING`
`EVT_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGED(id, fn)`	`EVT_CHOICEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED(id, fn)` or `EVT_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED(id, fn)`
`EVT_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGING(id, fn)`	`EVT_CHOICEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING(id, fn)` or `EVT_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGING(id, fn)`

For orientation of the book controller, use following flags in style:

wxBK_TOP: controller above pages
wxBK_BOTTOM: controller below pages
wxBK_LEFT: controller on the left
wxBK_RIGHT: controller on the right
wxBK_DEFAULT: native controller placement
