Description

wxBookCtrlEvent(3)         Erlang Module Definition         wxBookCtrlEvent(3)



NAME
       wxBookCtrlEvent - Functions for wxBookCtrlEvent class

DESCRIPTION
       This  class  represents  the events generated by book controls (wxNote-
       book, wxListbook, wxChoicebook, wxTreebook, wxAuiNotebook).

       The PAGE_CHANGING events are sent before the current page  is  changed.
       It  allows  the  program  to  examine  the  current  page (which can be
       retrieved with getOldSelection/1) and to veto the page change by  call-
       ing  wxNotifyEvent:veto/1  if,  for  example, the current values in the
       controls of the old page are invalid.

       The PAGE_CHANGED events are sent after the page has  been  changed  and
       the  program cannot veto it any more, it just informs it about the page
       change.

       To summarize, if the program is interested in validating the page  val-
       ues  before  allowing  the  user  to  change  it, it should process the
       PAGE_CHANGING event, otherwise PAGE_CHANGED is probably enough. In  any
       case, it is probably unnecessary to process both events at once.

       See:  wxNotebook,  wxListbook,  wxChoicebook,  wxTreebook,  wxToolbook,
       wxAuiNotebook

       This class is derived  (and  can  use  functions)  from:  wxNotifyEvent
       wxCommandEvent wxEvent

EXPORTS
       getOldSelection(This) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxBookCtrlEvent()

              Returns   the   page   that  was  selected  before  the  change,
              wxNOT_FOUND if none was selected.

              Note:  under  Windows, getSelection/1 will return the same value
              as   getOldSelection/1   when   called   from   the   EVT_BOOKC-
              TRL_PAGE_CHANGING  handler and not the page which is going to be
              selected.
