    @class wxNotebook

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

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

    @b wxNotebookPage is a typedef for wxWindow.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxNB_TOP}
           Place tabs on the top side.
    @style{wxNB_LEFT}
           Place tabs on the left side.
    @style{wxNB_RIGHT}
           Place tabs on the right side.
    @style{wxNB_BOTTOM}
           Place tabs under instead of above the notebook pages.
    @style{wxNB_FIXEDWIDTH}
           (Windows only) All tabs will have same width.
    @style{wxNB_MULTILINE}
           (Windows only) There can be several rows of tabs.
    @style{wxNB_NOPAGETHEME}
           (Windows only) Display a solid colour on notebook pages, and not a
           gradient, which can reduce performance.
    @style{wxNB_FLAT}
           (Windows CE only) Show tabs in a flat style.
