NAME
       wxChoicebook - Functions for wxChoicebook class

DESCRIPTION
       wxChoicebook is a class similar to wxNotebook, but uses a wxChoice con-
       trol to show the labels instead of the tabs.

       For usage documentation  of  this  class,  please  refer  to  the  base
       abstract  class  wxBookCtrl. You can also use the page_samples_notebook
       to see wxChoicebook in action.

       wxChoicebook  allows  the  use  of   wxBookCtrlBase::GetControlSizer(),
       allowing  a  program  to add other controls next to the choice control.
       This is particularly useful when screen  space  is  restricted,  as  it
       often is when wxChoicebook is being employed.

       Styles

       This class supports the following styles:

       See: Overview bookctrl, wxNotebook, Examples

       This  class  is  derived  (and  can use functions) from: wxBookCtrlBase
       wxControl wxWindow wxEvtHandler

       wxWidgets docs: wxChoicebook

EVENTS
       Event types emitted from this class:  choicebook_page_changed,  choice-
       book_page_changing

DATA TYPES
       wxChoicebook() = wx:wx_object()

EXPORTS
       new() -> wxChoicebook()

              Constructs a choicebook control.

       new(Parent, Id) -> wxChoicebook()

              Types:

                 Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
                 Id = integer()

       new(Parent, Id, Options :: [Option]) -> wxChoicebook()

              Types:

                 Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
                 Id = integer()
                 Option =
                     {pos, {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}} |
                     {size, {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}} |
                     {style, integer()}

       addPage(This, Page, Text) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()
                 Page = wxWindow:wxWindow()
                 Text = unicode:chardata()

       addPage(This, Page, Text, Options :: [Option]) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()
                 Page = wxWindow:wxWindow()
                 Text = unicode:chardata()
                 Option = {bSelect, boolean()} | {imageId, integer()}

              Adds a new page.

              The  page  must  have  the book control itself as the parent and
              must not have been added to this control previously.

              The call to this function will generate the  page  changing  and
              page  changed  events  if select is true, but not when inserting
              the very first page (as there is no previous page  selection  to
              switch  from  in this case and so it wouldn't make sense to e.g.
              veto such event).

              Return: true if successful, false otherwise.

              Remark: Do not delete the page, it will be deleted by  the  book
              control.

              See: insertPage/5

                 Option = {forward, boolean()}

              Cycles through the tabs.

              The call to this function generates the page changing events.

       assignImageList(This, ImageList) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()
                 ImageList = wxImageList:wxImageList()

              Sets  the image list for the page control and takes ownership of
              the list.

              See: wxImageList, setImageList/2

       create(This, Parent, Id) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 Id = integer()

       create(This, Parent, Id, Options :: [Option]) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()
                 Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
                 Id = integer()
                 Option =
                     {pos, {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}} |
                     {size, {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}} |
                     {style, integer()}

              Create the choicebook control that has already been  constructed
              with the default constructor.

       deleteAllPages(This) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 Page = integer()

              Returns the window at the given page position.

       getPageCount(This) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()

              Returns the number of pages in the control.

       getPageImage(This, NPage) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()
                 NPage = integer()

              Returns the image index for the given page.

       getPageText(This, NPage) -> unicode:charlist()

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()

              Returns  the currently selected page, or wxNOT_FOUND if none was
              selected.

              Note that this method may return either the previously or  newly
              selected  page  when  called  from the EVT_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGED
              handler depending on the platform and so  wxBookCtrlEvent:getSe-
              lection/1 should be used instead in this case.

       hitTest(This, Pt) -> Result

              Types:

                 Result = {Res :: integer(), Flags :: integer()}

              Returns  the  index  of  the  tab  at  the specified position or
              wxNOT_FOUND if none.

              If flags parameter is non-NULL, the position of the point inside
              the tab is returned as well.

              Return: Returns the zero-based tab index or wxNOT_FOUND if there
              is no tab at the specified position.

       insertPage(This, Index, Page, Text) -> boolean()

              Types:

                     boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()
                 Index = integer()
                 Page = wxWindow:wxWindow()
                 Text = unicode:chardata()
                 Option = {bSelect, boolean()} | {imageId, integer()}

              Inserts a new page at the specified position.

              Return: true if successful, false otherwise.

              Remark: Do not delete the page, it will be deleted by  the  book
              control.

              See: addPage/4

       setImageList(This, ImageList) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()
                 ImageList = wxImageList:wxImageList()

              Sets the image list to use.

              It does not take ownership of the image list, you must delete it
              yourself.

              See: wxImageList, assignImageList/2

       setPageSize(This, Size) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()
                 Size = {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}

              Sets the width and height of the pages.

              Note: This method is currently not implemented for wxGTK.

       setPageImage(This, Page, Image) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()
                 Page = Image = integer()

              Sets the image index for the given page.

              image is an index into the image list which was set with  setIm-
              ageList/2.

       setPageText(This, Page, Text) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()
                 Page = integer()
                 Text = unicode:chardata()

              Sets the text for the given page.

       setSelection(This, Page) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()
                 Page = integer()

              Sets  the  selection  to  the given page, returning the previous
              selection.

              Notice that the call to this function generates the page  chang-
              ing events, use the changeSelection/2 function if you don't want
              these events to be generated.

              See: getSelection/1

       changeSelection(This, Page) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxChoicebook()
                 Page = integer()

              Changes the selection to the given page, returning the  previous
              selection.

              This  function  behaves  as setSelection/2 but does not generate
              the page changing events.

              See overview_events_prog for more information.

       destroy(This :: wxChoicebook()) -> ok

              Destroys the object.
