\section{wxBookCtrl overview}\label{wxbookctrloverview}

Classes: \helpref{wxNotebook}{wxnotebook}, \helpref{wxListbook}{wxlistbook}, \helpref{wxChoicebook}{wxchoicebook}

\subsection{Introduction}\label{wxbookctrlintro}

A book control is a convenient way of displaying multiple pages of information,
displayed one page at a time. wxWidgets has three variants of this control:

\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
\item \helpref{wxNotebook}{wxnotebook}: uses a row of tabs
\item \helpref{wxListbook}{wxlistbook}: controlled by a \helpref{wxListCtrl}{wxlistctrl}
\item \helpref{wxChoicebook}{wxchoicebook}: controlled by a \helpref{wxChoice}{wxchoice}
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Best book}\label{wxbestbookctrl}

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

\twocolwidtha{5cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt

\twocolitem{wxBookCtrlEvent}{wxChoicebookEvent or wxNotebookEvent}

\twocolitem{wxEVT\_COMMAND\_BOOKCTRL\_PAGE\_CHANGING}{wxEVT\_COMMAND\_CHOICEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGING or wxEVT\_COMMAND\_NOTEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGING}
\twocolitem{EVT\_BOOKCTRL\_PAGE\_CHANGED(id, fn)}{EVT\_CHOICEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGED(id, fn) or EVT\_NOTEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGED(id, fn)}
\twocolitem{EVT\_BOOKCTRL\_PAGE\_CHANGING(id, fn)}{EVT\_CHOICEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGING(id, fn) or EVT\_NOTEBOOK\_PAGE\_CHANGING(id, fn)}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBC\_TOP}}{\windowstyle{wxCHB\_TOP} or \windowstyle{wxNB\_TOP}}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBC\_BOTTOM}}{\windowstyle{wxCHB\_BOTTOM} or \windowstyle{wxNB\_BOTTOM}}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBC\_LEFT}}{\windowstyle{wxCHB\_LEFT} or \windowstyle{wxNB\_LEFT}}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBC\_RIGHT}}{\windowstyle{wxCHB\_RIGHT} or \windowstyle{wxNB\_RIGHT}}

\end{twocollist}
