Wizard forms

[dymadarlin]

Hi there,

I want to make a form that looks like a wizard form, it should contain next,previous,cancel and help buttons.

And there are around 5 steps in this form.

What do you suggest? should I draw each form in a panel? in a usercontrol? Should they be in different forms?!

How would you design it?

Just for my two pence...rearranging panels and controls on forms depending on what phase of a process the form is in can be a real pain when debugging.

One possibility is to have a base form with the next,prev etc controls and the nice wizard white area + the properties and get all the other forms to inherit it.

I would create a mainform with all and just create a form for each new step and do a form in form.

in your main form.

dim step1 as new frmstep1
step1.toplevel = false
me.controls.add(step1)
step1.show
