✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Notebook — it's a Notebook, but make it a FormFactory framework moment 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the way you summon one of these is literally just:

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Notebook->new (
  ...
  Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Container attributes
  Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget attributes
);

that's it. that's the whole incantation. no cap 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this class implements a Notebook inside a Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory framework, periodt.

and here's the cute part: the number of the notebook page that's actually selected is controlled by the value of the associated application object attribute. so like, your data drives the tabs. main character energy fr fr 💅

👑 OBJECT HIERARCHY 👑

here's the family tree, bestie, look how it trickles down:

     +--- Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Notebook

💅 ATTRIBUTES 💅

ngl, this module has no additional attributes over the ones it inherits from Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Container. but!! some special notes apply, so don't skip this part:

• content = ARRAYREF of Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget's [optional] — only widgets that have a title attribute may be added to a NoteBook. and since Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Container defines the title attribute, that means every container can be turned into a notebook page 💖 iconic.
  • the widget title will automatically render to the title of the page, resp as the text appearing on the page's tab. so your title is doing double duty and honestly? she's thriving ✨
  • you can add an icon to the Notebook tab by prefixing the widget title with a stock item name in square brackets, like this exact thing right here:

title => "[gtk-cdrom] CDROM Contents",

look at that lil [gtk-cdrom] doing the absolute most 🎀

for more attributes, go refer to Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Container — she's the one holding all the receipts.
