Create a "Wizard-Type" App in Delphi

[iperich]

Hi, I need to know how can I have a single window with "Next" and "Previous" buttons, have differents inputs like radiobuttons, checkboxes and text in every stage of the "wizard" and in the last stage process all the data in the "End" Button Click

Or something like that. I dont need to install anything, just transmit the data by tcp, and that part is ok.

Thanks....

I have used a page control, create a page for each page of your wizard, then hide all the tabs.
Back and Next buttons bring the next or last page to the front. using the page increment method, (cant remember the correct name)
The fun starts when you relise that some pages might be conditional on what is selected on a previous page, so it has to skip pages, but then you have to consider that the back button must remember where to go.
I build an array to 'remember' the page progression.

I've also used a TPageControl with hidden tabs when building a wizard app.

You'll find an interesting example of how it's done in VB6 at

The whole logic is placed in an ocx control, so it might be usefull in Delphi also.
