Step by step wizard
-
Hi there. I am trying to create a step by step wizard, for a Windows Mobile 6.0 PDA. I have used forms as the steps. In my mainform I have a method that finds the next step from an array. There are three types of steps, and each steps can appear more than once in one session. When the last step is finished, the first step will be shown again. In an earlier program, I used panels as my steps, but it was a little difficult to manage each step in the same form window. In my new version, I am trying to use forms instead, but every time i click next, I can see a short blink, of the programs running in the background. When i click the next step button in the current step, the following code is used: mainForm.ShowNextStep(); this.Close(); ShowNextStep finds the next step and use nextStep.ShowDialog(); Is there anything I can do, so i wont see those short blinks, without using panels?

You should use user controls, and place them all on the one form. I guess that's what you mean by panels ?
