NAME
       wxNotebook - Functions for wxNotebook class

DESCRIPTION
       This  class  represents a notebook control, which manages multiple win-
       dows with associated tabs.

       To use the class, create  a  wxNotebook  object  and  call  wxBookCtrl-
       Base:addPage/4  or  wxBookCtrlBase:insertPage/5, passing a window to be
       used as the page. Do not explicitly delete the window for a  page  that
       is currently managed by wxNotebook.

       wxNotebookPage is a typedef for wxWindow.

       Styles

       This class supports the following styles:

       Page backgrounds

       On  Windows,  the  default  theme paints a background on the notebook's
       pages. If you wish to suppress this theme, for aesthetic or performance
       reasons, there are three ways of doing it. You can use wxNB_NOPAGETHEME
       to disable themed drawing for  a  particular  notebook,  you  can  call
       wxSystemOptions:setOption/2 to disable it for the whole application, or
       you can disable it for  individual  pages  by  using  wxWindow:setBack-
       groundColour/2.

       To disable themed pages globally:

       Set  the  value  to 1 to enable it again. To give a single page a solid
       background that more or less fits in with the overall theme, use:

       On platforms other than Windows, or if the  application  is  not  using
       Windows themes, getThemeBackgroundColour/1 will return an uninitialised
       colour object, and the above code will therefore work on all platforms.

       See: ?wxBookCtrl, wxBookCtrlEvent, wxImageList, Examples

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

DATA TYPES
       wxNotebook() = wx:wx_object()

EXPORTS
       new() -> wxNotebook()

              Constructs a notebook control.

       new(Parent, Id) -> wxNotebook()

              Types:

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

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

              Types:

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

              Constructs a notebook control.

              Note that sometimes  you  can  reduce  flicker  by  passing  the
              wxCLIP_CHILDREN window style.

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

              Destroys the wxNotebook object.

       assignImageList(This, ImageList) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxNotebook()
                 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:

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

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

              Types:

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

              Creates a notebook control.

              See new/3 for a description of the parameters.

       getImageList(This) -> wxImageList:wxImageList()

              Types:

                 This = wxNotebook()

              Returns the associated image list, may be NULL.

              See: wxImageList, setImageList/2

       getPageImage(This, NPage) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxNotebook()
                 NPage = integer()

              Returns the image index for the given page.

       getRowCount(This) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxNotebook()

              Returns the number of rows in the notebook control.

       getThemeBackgroundColour(This) -> wx:wx_colour4()

              Types:

                 This = wxNotebook()

              If running under Windows and themes are enabled for the applica-
              tion,  this  function returns a suitable colour for painting the
              background of a notebook page,  and  can  be  passed  to  wxWin-
              dow:setBackgroundColour/2.

              Otherwise, an uninitialised colour will be returned.

       setImageList(This, ImageList) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxNotebook()
                 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

       setPadding(This, Padding) -> ok

              Types:

       setPageSize(This, Size) -> ok

              Types:

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

              Note: This method is currently not implemented for wxGTK.

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

              Types:

                 This = wxNotebook()
                 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.
