Design-Time Features

The Wizard control is designed to seamlessly interact with the design-time environment and make it simple to navigate through and manage pages at design-time. At design-time the wizard is reflected exactly as it looks at run-time.

Adding and Configuring Pages

Pages represent each step in the wizard. To add a page, you can right-click on the Wizard control and select either the Add Interior Page, Add Exterior Page, or Add Welcome Page verbs.

In the screenshot below, note the wizard-specific verbs for this page, including the navigation verbs.

Configuring pages is as easy as selecting a page in the designer and using the designer's property sheet to set its properties.

Navigating through Pages at Design-time

To move through pages at design-time, you can do one of several things:

  • Click on the Next and Back buttons on the wizard.
  • Use the Next Page and Previous Page designer verbs.
  • Select the desired page in the property grid.
  • Use the Go To Page designer verb to open the Go To Page dialog and navigate directly to a page.
  • Double-click the wizard or a wizard page to open the Go To Page dialog and navigate directly to a page.

The Go To Page Dialog

The Go To Page dialog provides the best method for navigating directly to a page while in the designer. The dialog provides useful information about each page. By default, the current page is selected in the list. To go to a page, select it in the list and press the OK button.

Reordering Pages

To change the default sequence in which pages appear, click on the Wizard control and open the collection editor for the Pages property. This dialog has an up and down button to allow for changing sequence.
