\section{\class{wxNotebook}}\label{wxnotebook}

This class represents a notebook control, which manages multiple windows with associated tabs.

To use the class, create a wxNotebook object and call \helpref{AddPage}{wxnotebookaddpage} or \helpref{InsertPage}{wxnotebookinsertpage},
passing a window to be used as the page. Do not explicitly delete the window for a page that is currently
managed by wxNotebook.

{\bf wxNotebookPage} is a typedef for wxWindow.

\membersection{wxNotebook::wxNotebook}\label{wxnotebookconstr}

\func{}{wxNotebook}{\void}

Default constructor.

of the parameters.

\membersection{wxNotebook::DeleteAllPages}\label{wxnotebookdeleteallpages}

\membersection{wxNotebook::GetPage}\label{wxnotebookgetpage}

\func{wxNotebookPage*}{GetPage}{\param{int}{ page}}

Returns the window at the given page position.

\membersection{wxNotebook::GetPageCount}\label{wxnotebookgetpagecount}

\constfunc{int}{GetPageCount}{\void}

Returns the number of pages in the notebook control.

\membersection{wxNotebook::GetPageImage}\label{wxnotebookgetpageimage}

Returns the currently selected page, or $-1$ if none was selected.

Note that this method may return either the previously or newly selected page
when called from the {\tt EVT\_NOTEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGED} handler depending on
the platform and so\rtfsp
\helpref{wxNotebookEvent::GetSelection}{wxnotebookeventgetselection} should be
used instead in this case.
