This GTK+ version 2.12.3. GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces.

<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GtkNotebook

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
A tabbed notebook container

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
The #GtkNotebook widget is a #GtkContainer whose children are pages that
can be switched between using tab labels along one edge.
</para>
<para>
There are many configuration options for #GtkNotebook. Among other
things, you can choose on which edge the tabs appear
(see gtk_notebook_set_tab_pos()), whether, if there are too many
tabs to fit the noteobook should be made bigger or scrolling
arrows added (see gtk_notebook_set_scrollable), and whether there
will be a popup menu allowing the users to switch pages.
(see gtk_notebook_enable_popup(), gtk_noteobook_disable_popup())

<refsect2 id="GtkNotebook-BUILDER-UI">
<title>GtkNotebook as GtkBuildable</title>
<para>
The GtkNoteboopk implementation of the GtkBuildable interface
supports placing children into tabs by specifying "tab" as the
"type" attribute of a &lt;child&gt; element. Note that the content
of the tab must be created before the tab can be filled.
A tab child can be specified without specifying a &lt;child&gt; 
type attribute.

<!-- ##### USER_FUNCTION GtkNotebookWindowCreationFunc ##### -->
<para>
A function used by GtkNotebook when a detachable tab is dropped
in the root window, it's used to create a window containing a notebook
where the tab will be attached. This function will also be responsible
of moving/resizing the window and adding the necessary properties to
the notebook (i.e.: group-id).

If the function returns %NULL, the drag will be cancelled.
</para>

@source: The source #GtkNotebook of the drag operation
@page: the child #GtkWidget affected
@x: the X coordinate where the drop happens
@y: the Y coordinate where the drop happens
@data: user data
@Returns: The created #GtkNotebook where the tab will be attached, or NULL to cancel the drag
