new buttons in the wizard form?

Posted 19 years ago by Actipro Software Support - Cleveland, OH, USA

Sure you can do this... just add your button to the Controls collection of the Wizard. The Wizard control fires a LayoutButtons event when it positions buttons. If you handle that you can align your button with the others.

Sure... once you've added the button do something like this in the event handler:

if (button != null)
    button.Location = new Point(7, e.BackButtonLocation.Y);

Also how do i get the finish button to show up on the wizard form? Will it only show up on "exterior" pages?

This VB code can be inserted at the end of the constructor of our MainForm.vb and demonstrates an external button:

Dim button As Button = New Button()
button.Text = "Test"
Me.Wizard.Controls.Add(button)
button.Location = New Point(10, Me.ClientSize.Height - 30)

You can set the WizardPage class' FinishButtonEnabled and NextButtonEnabled properties to show the Finish button instead of the Next button. Check out our sample project for a sample of doing that.
