[Gambas-user] Emulating wizard Back/Next navigation

[nando]

Perhaps the following ideas...
Every step in the wizard has an associated form for whatever it does for that step.
Every form has a SUB for 'backwards' and 'forwards so that
when NEXT is clicked, the forwards code runs, which is whatever
is required for moving to the next form (ie: perform work, verify info,
hide form, the activate 'next' form)
when BACK is clicked, the backwards code runs, which is whatever to
undo this step (if needed), hide form, activate 'back' form.
Each form knows how to go back one step, and go forward one step.
You would have to tell the Next and BAck buttons which forwards and backwards
sub to run...you could place in NEXT.tag and BACK.tag the form or info required
to properly run the correct code.  This would be modular so each form takes
care of things.
Or, the list of wizard steps could be in a global string array with the name
of the form and simply step through the index.
