Actipro Wizard is the premier control for building wizard dialogs in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) that conform to the Aero Wizard and Wizard97 specifications. Wizard dialogs simplify the user experience of applications by taking complex tasks and breaking them up into a series of simple steps.

Actipro Wizard has been designed from the ground up to follow WPF best practices, be extremely configurable, and dramatically cut down on the time needed to implement a robust wizard dialog. From simple linear sequences of pages to more advanced decision-based page execution paths, Wizard can handle it all. It provides an amazing number of features that make the design and run-time experience for the developer and end user a positive one.

Extensive Documentation, Samples and Designer Functionality

While Actipro Wizard contains almost every conceivable feature for such a product, we also realize that the key to successfully integrating a product of its type into your own applications is that you understand how to effectively work with the product.

We have worked very hard to make Actipro Wizard very developer-friendly by building:

• Thorough Documentation - Help topics cover all controls and product features in great detail.
• Full Source Demos and QuickStarts - Our Sample Browser includes the full commented source code for 20 samples, including demos that show off end-result product functionality and QuickStarts that focus on individual feature areas.
• Visual Studio 2008 Designer Functionality - By using our state-of-the-art VS 2008 designer support you can quickly create, configure and navigate through your wizards. Use task panes to set common properties on the wizard or its pages, reorder pages, and much more.
• Code Analysis Conformance - We scan all our pre-obfuscated WPF control product code through the Visual Studio Code Analysis tool (formerly FxCop) and resolve all warnings to help ensure that our code is well designed and meets official standards.
