Thinking Out Loud

Nice news...

Yeah...! you're right... the wizards are very useful to do tasks that requires a determinate order to be process (like implement a configuration in some application, define companies, define users, define, roles, define privileges, etc.) . So long time, my boss requested a wizard class to do this... that allows to developer define the module (project) that must be included into the wizard tab, in the main MDI application. I do this class using attributes, XML serialization, etc.

XAF must be able to implements this new control... what do you think?... generate a tab that must be placed into the main window with all modules or classes that are marked like a wizard. The possibility to change the order or the defined steps must be implemented (for pendent steps), image to the wizard page, color, and the possibility to link one wizard page to a module or class... my class implements this features.

I will to test when this becomes available.

Great job DX!  So easy to you, so important to us!  A much needed control for any application.

Thank you!

Ooooh beautiful!

Now, to dedicate to it, drop the VCL installer and switch to a .NET XtraWizards one :)

Hmmm!  Next and Back buttons have hotkeys showing, Cancel doesn't.  But I thought hotkeys didn't show unless you pressed the ALT button?

Hi Cesar,

Wizard functionality for XAF is in our plans, but it will be a little while before we complete it. I also don't know if we'll use this control -- we'll see, but as usual targeting ASP.NET as well as WinForms is important to us.

We also see the "multi-step UI" story going quite a bit further... more about that in good time.

Thanks

Will this tool include vista style wizards -with a left arrow button on the upper left corner of the dialog box?..

Just a quick note to say how much I love article titles such as this one's! Always got myself thinking "ok, what will it be this time?" before clicking on it. :p

The wizard is a very nice addition to an already nice control collection! :) Thanks DX!

Very nice. I was just beginning to craft my own wizard for use with XAF winforms but I think I'll just wait for this one!

First and foremost, if you're using our WinForms (Windows Forms if you prefer) controls already,
