The CyberNotebookExtension class defines extra behaviors for a part that is to be used as a notebook.

Description

The CyberNotebookExtension class defines an extension that allows a part to be used as a notebook. CyberNotebookExtension is an abstract superclass that you must subclass and implement to create your own custom notebook part. However, Cyberdog provides a fully implemented notebook; to use that Cyberdog notebook, you do not need to subclass this class.

The Cyberdog notebook implementation is divided between two parts: a notebook manager and a notebook part. The Cyberdog notebook manager (kNotebookManagerKind) is composed of an object of an ODPart subclass extended with a subclass of CyberNotebookExtension. The notebook manager does not provide a user interface. The notebook user interface is provided by the notebook part (kNotebookKind), an object of an ODPart subclass.

You never need to call CyberNotebookExtension methods directly; the CyberSession class provides the methods you should use to interact with the notebook.
