Dynamically Adding Pages to WizardControl

[Steven Domingue]

I have been writing a simple prototype with 1.6.1.0 and the new WizardControl. Is there any wa to programmatically add a page to the WizardControl? The only way I see to add a page is through the designer at design time. I need to do it at runtime. It seems that the list of WizardPages is an array and thus does not allow me to add a page as if it were an aarraylist.

Thanks.

Hi Steven,

There are two ways for changing the order of the pages.
1. By changing the sequence in which the WizardControlPages are added to WizardContainer
For instance, in the WizardControlDemo, the pages are added as follows:

this.wizardContainer1.Controls.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.Control[] { this.wizardControlPage1,
this.wizardControlPage3,
this.wizardControlPage4,
this.wizardControlPage5,
this.wizardControlPage6
});

You can reorder them and get the desired sequence.

2. This can also be done using the designer, by right clicking on the form and using the "bring to front" and "send to back" options. "Bring to front" sets that particular page as the first page in the list of pages and "send to back" sets it as the last page in the list.

Hi Steven,

This is one of the ways to change the order of pages at runtime. You could have buttons like "send to back" and "bring to front" on the page. When the button is clicked, this event can be handled by calling the "SendToBack" or "BringToFront" methods appropriately, which would then reorder the pages at runtime.

I do not want to reorder the pages, I want to add new ones at run-time. The list of WizardPages is an array not an arraylist so it cannot be expanded.

ANy ideas?

Hi Steven,

Please take a look at the sample code attached. I have modified the existing WizardControlDemo sample to facilitate additon of a wizard page at runtime. In this sample, I have handled the button clicked event (for the "Add Page" button on the first wizard page) to generate a new page at the end of the current set of pages. Please let me know if this is the information you are looking for.

Thanks,

Guru,
I cannot find the attachment that you mention. I am trying to do the same thing as Steven and I am getting into problems where the current SelectedWizardPage changes when a new page is added. How do I prevent this?

Hi Cody ,

Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you. You can achieve this behavior in our latest version. We have implemented a lot of features and bug fixes in v.6.1. I would like to recommend you to upgrade to this version.

Please contact your Syncfusion Sales Representative or e-mail [e-mail].

You have to capture the currently selected WizardControlPage before adding the new page and then restore it after adding the new page. Please refer to the following code snippet.

  WizardControlPage temp = this.wizardControl1.SelectedWizardPage;

  WizardControlPage wizPage = new WizardControlPage();
  wizardControl1.AddPage(wizPage);
  wizPage.Description = "This page is added at runtime";
  wizPage.Title = "Dynamic Page";
          
  this.wizardControl1.SelectedWizardPage = temp;

Please refer the sample in the link to illustrate this:

Please try this and let me know if this helps.
