public class Wizard extends Panel implements IWizardModelListener, IWizard
A wizard is a dialog component that takes users through a number of steps to complete a task. It has common functionality like a next, previous, finish and cancel button, and it uses a IWizardModel to navigate through the steps.

Before you can use the wizard component, it needs to be initialized with a model. You do this by calling init(IWizardModel) with the wizard model you intent to use.

This default implementation should be useful for basic cases, if the layout is exactly what you need. If you want to provide your own layout and/ or have more or less components (e.g. you want to additionally provide an overview component), you can override this class and add the components you want yourself using methods like newButtonBar(String) et-cetera.

      public Wizard(String id)
      Construct. Adds the default style.

      If you override this class, it makes sense to call this constructor (super(id)), then - in your constructor - construct a transition model and then call init(IWizardModel) to initialize the wizard.

      This constructor is not meant for normal clients of this class

      Parameters:
      id - The component model

    • Wizard

      public Wizard(String id, IWizardModel wizardModel)
      Construct with a transition model. Adds the default style.

      For most clients, this is typically the right constructor to use.

      Parameters:
      id - The component id
      wizardModel - The transitions model
