Answer 2

No I'm trying to use tabs as wizard page, how I can hide table pager.

Or Is there any wizard control?

Answer 3

Add a new class to your project and paste the code shown below.  Build.  You can now drop the control from the top of the toolbox onto your form.  At design time, the control looks like a regular TabControl.  At run-time, you only see the pages.  Use the SelectedIndex property to step through the pages.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class WizardPages : TabControl {
  protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
    // Hide tabs by trapping the TCM_ADJUSTRECT message
    if (m.Msg == 0x1328 && !DesignMode) m.Result = (IntPtr)1;
    else base.WndProc(ref m);
  }
}

Answer 4

I tried pasting this code, building, adding a tab control, and running, but it didn't work - the tab buttons still showed.  Why?

Thanks so much.

 

Answer 5

Did you add a TabControl or did you add WizardPages?  It's on the top of the toolbox.

Answer 6

Oops!  Now I get it.  Thanks so much!

 

Answer 7

That works great! Any suggestions of what actions needed to make it work through IE as aciveX? Standard TabControl works fine as activeX. 

Thanks in advance

Answer 8

I followed some examples to do the above in vb.net, but when I drag and drop the control

on my form in vs2005 and build I get and error message "type " myproject.WizardPages "is not defined"

When I click on the error it brings me to the xx.Designer.vb where I see the following >>

me.WizardPages1 = New myproject.WizardPages  

If I remove myproject or add global.project it fixes the problem ,

but every time I mod the form the same thing re-appears over and over again !!!

Did I miss something ???  Is there some magic way to permanently fix this problem ???

What is the correct way to use project.class widgets in vb.net ????

I have tried to use various combinations of import statements , but to no avail

Answer 9

Hi,

This works great. But there is a small bug if there are multiple tabs for this wizard and the width of the wizard is widely enough to handle all tab headers. Then there are two buttons like: << >> How can we also make these two buttons invisible in this case?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 10

nobugz,

I like this solution, it's handy, with minimal overhead, and eliminates the need to introduce a third party library for a wizard control.
I'm having a problem though.  I add a class (WizardPages.cs), copy/paste, build successfully, but the control does not appear anywhere
in the toolbox. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, can you advise? Your help is appreciated.  Cheers.
