    @class wxPropertyGridPage

    Holder of property grid page information. You can subclass this and
    give instance in wxPropertyGridManager::AddPage. It inherits from
    wxEvtHandler and can be used to process events specific to this
    page (id of events will still be same as manager's). If you don't
    want to use it to process all events of the page, you need to
    return @false in the derived wxPropertyGridPage::IsHandlingAllEvents.

    Please note that wxPropertyGridPage lacks many non-const property
    manipulation functions found in wxPropertyGridManager.
    Please use parent manager (m_manager member variable) when needed.

    Please note that most member functions are inherited and as such not
    documented on this page. This means you will probably also want to read
    wxPropertyGridInterface class reference.

    @section propgridpage_event_handling Event Handling

    wxPropertyGridPage receives events emitted by its wxPropertyGridManager, but
    only those events that are specific to that page. If wxPropertyGridPage::
    IsHandlingAllEvents returns false, then unhandled events are sent to the
    manager's parent, as usual.

    See @ref propgrid_event_handling "wxPropertyGrid Event Handling"
    for more information.

/**
    @class wxPropertyGridManager

    wxPropertyGridManager is an efficient multi-page version of wxPropertyGrid,
    which can optionally have toolbar for mode and page selection, a help text
    box, and a header.

    wxPropertyGridManager inherits from wxPropertyGridInterface, and as such
    it has most property manipulation functions. However, only some of them affect
    properties on all pages (eg. GetPropertyByName() and ExpandAll()), while some
    (eg. Append()) only apply to the currently selected page.

    To operate explicitly on properties on specific page, use
    wxPropertyGridManager::GetPage() to obtain pointer to page's
    wxPropertyGridPage object.

    Visual methods, such as SetCellBackgroundColour() are only available in
    wxPropertyGrid. Use wxPropertyGridManager::GetGrid() to obtain pointer to it.

    Non-virtual iterators will not work in wxPropertyGridManager. Instead, you must
    acquire the internal grid (GetGrid()) or wxPropertyGridPage object (GetPage()).

    wxPropertyGridManager constructor has exact same format as wxPropertyGrid
    constructor, and basically accepts same extra window style flags (albeit also
    has some extra ones).

    Here's some example code for creating and populating a wxPropertyGridManager:

    @code
        wxPropertyGridManager* pgMan = new wxPropertyGridManager(this, PGID,
            wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize,
            // These and other similar styles are automatically
            // passed to the embedded wxPropertyGrid.
            wxPG_BOLD_MODIFIED|wxPG_SPLITTER_AUTO_CENTER|
            // Include toolbar.
            wxPG_TOOLBAR |
            // Include description box.
            wxPG_DESCRIPTION |
            // Include compactor.
            wxPG_COMPACTOR |
            // Plus defaults.
            wxPGMAN_DEFAULT_STYLE
           );

        wxPropertyGridPage* page;

        page = pgMan->AddPage("First Page");

        page->Append( new wxPropertyCategory("Category A1") );

        page->Append( new wxIntProperty("Number",wxPG_LABEL,1) );

        page->Append( new wxColourProperty("Colour",wxPG_LABEL,*wxWHITE) );

        page = pgMan->AddPage("Second Page");

        page->Append( "Text",wxPG_LABEL,"(no text)" );

        page->Append( new wxFontProperty("Font",wxPG_LABEL) );

        // Display a header above the grid
        pgMan->ShowHeader();
