Dear KDE Developers,

The KDE Widgets KNoteBook and KWizard. A wizard dialog widget and a notebook dialog widget.
Extended docs and screenshots at http://w1.1358.telia.com/~u135800018/prog#WIDGETS


                     FEATURES

KNoteBook:

KNoteBook is a tabbed dialog where each tab can have multiple pages nearly similar to
the tabbed dialogs in OS/2 Warp 4.
The widget has the advantages of both KTabCtl and QTabDialog plus some more.

 - Multiple pages per tab with previous/next button and optional arrow buttons in the title.
 - An optional popup menu which takes you to a specific page in a specific section (tab).
 - Go thru the pages using PageUp/PageDown.
 - Easy additions of optional Ok, Cancel, Default and Help buttons.
 - Automatic resizing/repainting/repositioning of buttons. Not like QTabDialog where
   there is always an Ok button.
 - Scrollable tab bar. If the tab bar is larger than the window you can scroll the bar
   by clicking on the arrow buttons.
 - Can be used as both modal/non-modal dialog and a child widget.


KWizard:

KWizard is a multi-purpose dialog. It is very useful for:

 - Configuration dialogs where the order in which the entries are filled is important.
 - Tutorials. Just create some HTML-widgets and feed them to a KWizard and your done (almost).
 - NoteBooks. KWizard is an integrated part of KNoteBook which provides a notebook
   dialog similar to the ones in OS/2 Warp 4.
 - Propably many other things...

 The dialog contains:
 - A title at the top of the page.
 - A label indicating the pagination.
 - Optional arrow buttons to change pages.
	 - A separator.
 - The userprovided page-widget.
 - A separator.
 - A Previous and a Next button.
 - Optional Ok, Cancel and Help buttons.

ChangeLog:

Changes from 0.1 to 0.2:
 - 2 new classes: KTabBar and KDirectionButton which together provides a scrollable tab bar.
 - The pagination (page numbering) is only shown if a KWizard has more than 1 page.
 - The pages in KWizard and the tabs in KNoteBook are now numbered from 0-n.
 - Added (optional) arrow button to change pages in KWizard and KNoteBook.
 - Moved variables to protected structs to be able to add/remove without breaking
   binary compatibility.
 - Added PageUp/PageDown accelerators to KWizard. Also works with KNoteBook.
 - En/Disabling of tabs now works for KNoteBook.
