This notebook control component simulates a real notebook but improves on it by overcoming a notebook's natural limitations. A user can select and display pages by using a pointing device or the keyboard.
The notebook can be customized to meet varying application requirements, while providing a user interface component that can be used easily to develop products that conform to the Common User Access (CUA) user interface guidelines. The application can specify different colors, sizes, and orientations for its notebooks and whether an old notebook or a new style notebook is desired, but the underlying function of the control remains the same.
