Functions for wxListbook class

`wxListbook` is a class similar to `wxNotebook` but which uses a `wxListCtrl` to show the labels instead of the tabs.

The underlying `wxListCtrl` displays page labels in a one-column report view by default. Calling wxBookCtrl::SetImageList will implicitly switch the control to use an icon view.

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

Styles

This class supports the following styles:

See: ?wxBookCtrl, `wxNotebook`, Examples

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

# addPage/4

View Source

    -spec addPage(This, Page, Text, [Option]) -> boolean()
                     when
                         This :: wxListbook(),
                         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.
