VB.NET wizard formHi all,
I'm writing an app in VB.NET and want it to look and behave like a typical application wizard (i.e. with the usual Next, Cancel, Back etc). Should I be looking to use multiple forms or is there a better, cleaner way of doing it? Cheers Paul Taylor Hello Paul,
For this sort of thing I usually use a Panel. Put some controls in it and set their visibile property to True False to toggle their appearence. That should do it for you Paul. Regards Cyril Gupta You can use a TabControl with a minor modification. Just use buttons to
increment/decrement the SelectedIndex of the TabControl. For the modifications needed for the TabControl see the example on my site titled "Add a HideTabs property to turn on/off the Tabs" http://www.dotnetrix.co.uk/tabcontrols.html Show quoteHide quote "Paul Taylor" <paultay***@dsl.pipex.com> wrote in message news:43bfb786$0$82662$ed2619ec@ptn-nntp-reader03.plus.net... > Hi all, > > I'm writing an app in VB.NET and want it to look and behave like a typical > application wizard (i.e. with the usual Next, Cancel, Back etc).

Thanks for that, looks like that's the way to go, a fine trick!

Thanks for the article. I am not using it for the wizard, but it solved an entirely different problem I was having with the TabControl. cheers to you. Cyril Gupta Would that problem be that TabPages are not shown when Alignment is not set
to Top and Appearance is not set to Normal? I have updated the example to fix that too, but my ISP probably won't update the page for a couple of days so you won't see that yet.
