\section{\class{wxNotebook}}\label{wxnotebook}
3
This class represents a notebook control, which manages multiple windows with associated tabs.
5
To use the class, create a wxNotebook object and call \helpref{AddPage}{wxnotebookaddpage} or \helpref{InsertPage}{wxnotebookinsertpage},
6
passing a window to be used as the page. Do not explicitly delete the window for a page that is currently
9
{\bf wxNotebookPage} is a typedef for wxWindow.

37
The styles \texttt{wxNB\_LEFT}, \texttt{RIGHT} and \texttt{BOTTOM} are not
38
supported under Microsoft Windows XP when using visual themes.
40
See also \helpref{window styles overview}{windowstyles}.
44
\wxheading{Page backgrounds}
46
On Windows XP, the default theme paints a gradient on the notebook's pages.
47
If you wish to suppress this theme, for aesthetic or performance reasons,
48
there are three ways of doing it. You can use wxNB\_NOPAGETHEME to disable
49
themed drawing for a particular notebook, you can call {\tt wxSystemOptions::SetOption}
50
to disable it for the whole application, or you can disable it for individual
51
pages by using {\tt SetBackgroundColour}.
53
To disable themed pages globally:
56
wxSystemOptions::SetOption(wxT("msw.notebook.themed-background"), 0);
59
Set the value to 1 to enable it again.
61
To give a single page a solid background that more or less fits in with the
65
wxColour col = notebook->GetThemeBackgroundColour();
68
page->SetBackgroundColour(col);
72
On platforms other than Windows, or if the application is not using Windows
73
themes, {\tt GetThemeBackgroundColour} will return an uninitialised colour object,
74
and the above code will therefore work on all platforms.
