Need Help with software wizard

[Neoyanderson]

Hello, everybody, I am developing a wizard with VC++ by using a series of dialog boxes. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can tell me, how I can get the program to remember what certain users inputted in different fields so if they want to press the back button to go to a previously viewed dialog, the inputs that they already entered will be on display in the edit boxes. Is this the whole serialization process? If so, do I have to make a serialization class for each field I want to be "memorized"?

Another question, how can I execute commands on the command prompt through VC++?

Check out CPropertyPage. It has a CPropertySheet::SetWizardMode method which let it behave as a...well...a wizard. Regard it as a single dialog (it inherits CDialog) that just changes appearance (ie you can store all what you need in the dialog). I believe the focus will be remembered (if not just store the focus info when dealing with the OnWizardNext call).

should read
"There is a CPropertySheet::SetWizardMode method"

If you want to execute commands through the command prompt in c++ you should be able to use: system().

For example system("\"c:\\somedirectory\\Regfile.reg\"");

That will open the registry file Regfile.reg in c:\somedirectory. I hope that helps. If you need more info on it just look up system() on msdn.
