.. _wx.Simplebook:

==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.Simplebook**
==========================================================================================================================================

:ref:`wx.Simplebook`  is a control showing exactly one of its several pages.          

It implements :ref:`wx.BookCtrlBase`  class interface but doesn't allow the user to change the page being displayed, unlike all the other book control classes, only the program can do it. 

This class is created in the same manner as any other BookCtrl but then the program will typically call :meth:`~wx.Simplebook.ChangeSelection`  to show different pages. See the :ref:`Notebook Sample <notebook sample>`  for an example of :ref:`wx.Simplebook`  in action. 

Notice that is often convenient to use :meth:`~wx.Simplebook.ShowNewPage`  instead of the base class :meth:`~wx.Simplebook.AddPage`. 

There are no special styles defined for this class as it has no visual appearance of its own. 

There are also no special events, this class reuses  ``wxEVT_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGING``   and   ``wxEVT_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGED``   events for the events it generates if the program calls  :meth:`~wx.Simplebook.SetSelection`.

.. class:: wx.Simplebook(BookCtrlBase)

   **Possible constructors**::

       Simplebook()
       
       Simplebook(parent, id=ID_ANY, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize,
                  style=0, name=EmptyString)
       
   
   Simplebook is a control showing exactly one of its several pages.

   .. method:: Create(self, parent, id=ID_ANY, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=0, name=EmptyString)

      Really create the window of an object created using default constructor.                  

                


      :param `parent`:

      :type `id`: wx.WindowID
      :param `pos`:

      :rtype: `bool`







      .. versionadded:: 3.0.2 
     








   .. method:: SetEffect(self, effect)

      Set the same effect to use for both showing and hiding the pages.                  

      This is the same as  ``SetEffects(effect, effect)`` . 

                


      :param `effect`: 
      :type `effect`: wx.ShowEffect






      .. seealso:: :meth:`SetEffectTimeout`     








   .. method:: SetEffectTimeout(self, timeout)

      Set the same effect timeout to use for both showing and hiding the pages.                  

      This is the same as  ``SetEffectsTimeouts(timeout, timeout)`` . 

                


      :param `timeout`: 






      .. seealso:: :meth:`SetEffect`     








   .. method:: SetEffects(self, showEffect, hideEffect)

      Set the effects to use for showing and hiding the pages.                  

      This method allows to specify the effects passed to :meth:`wx.Window.ShowWithEffect`   and :meth:`wx.Window.HideWithEffect`   respectively when the pages need to be shown or hidden. 

      By default, no effects are used, but as the pages are only changed by the program and not the user himself, it may be useful to use some visual effects to make the changes more noticeable. 




      :param `showEffect`: The effect to use for showing the newly selected page.   
      :type `showEffect`: wx.ShowEffect
      :param `hideEffect`: The effect to use for hiding the previously selected page.  
      :type `hideEffect`: wx.ShowEffect






                  



      .. seealso:: :meth:`SetEffectsTimeouts`     








   .. method:: SetEffectsTimeouts(self, showTimeout, hideTimeout)

      Set the effect timeout to use for showing and hiding the pages.                  

      This method allows to configure the timeout arguments passed to :meth:`wx.Window.ShowWithEffect`   and :meth:`wx.Window.HideWithEffect`   if a non-default effect is used. 

      If this method is not called, default, system-dependent timeout is used. 




      :param `showTimeout`: Timeout of the show effect, in milliseconds.   
      :param `hideTimeout`: Timeout of the hide effect, in milliseconds.  






                  



      .. seealso:: :meth:`SetEffects`     








   .. method:: ShowNewPage(self, page)

      Add a new page and show it immediately.                  

      This is simply a thin wrapper around the base class :meth:`wx.BookCtrlBase.AddPage`   method using empty label (which is unused by this class anyhow) and selecting the new page immediately.                  


      :param `page`: 
      :type `page`: wx.Window




      :rtype: `bool`
