Page Types

Wizard defines three distinct page types: Exterior, Interior, and Blank.

Page types are only used in determining which default style will be applied the page and do not affect the wizard behavior in any other way.

Exterior Pages

Exterior pages typically come at the beginning and end of the wizard. In those scenarios, they are termed Welcome pages and Completion/Finish pages, respectively.

An exterior page

Exterior pages have a watermark area that appears on the left side of the page. By default this area is filled with the system highlight color but can be customized to any sort of image or gradient background. The watermark area also typically includes a small page image near the upper right of the watermark area.

The right side of an exterior page is filled with the system window color by default. A large header label near the top of this content area displays the caption of the page. Another label is placed under the header and provides the description of the page.

Interior Pages

Interior pages typically appear as the "inner" pages of the wizard.

An interior page

Interior pages have a header area that stretches across the top of the page that displays the page's caption in bold, and its description underneath it. By default the header background is filled with the system window color, but can be overridden to any sort of image or gradient background. Additionally, an image appears at the right side of the header.

The content area of the page, filled with the system control color by default, appears underneath the header.

Blank Pages

Blank pages have no default style applied to them. Therefore it is up to the developer to design the contents of a blank page.
