Property Sheets & Pages questions
-
I have a dialog based app I am writing. In this app I am going to have to present different information to the user and in some cases ask for some input in various orders depending on a given situation. I figured property pages would be a great solution since I could design a bunch of panels and then show them in whatever order I want, as needed. The fundamental problem is that in a given area I just want to show just the panel I made. In one mode I get "tabs" like a tab control. In another mode (Wizard Mode), I get a bunch of buttons at the bottom. If I could hide the tabs OR hide all the buttons in wizard mode, it would work. I also have a bitmap logo on top, and I thought if I could get the bitmap to draw itself after the property sheet, I could hide the tabs underneath it, that might work. I do not know how to make the property sheet object draw itself before the bitmap logo at the top. So is there a way to do this or just render my panels with no extras at all inside my dialog box?

this might help: SAPrefs - Netscape-like Preferences Dialog[^] it's a bit more than you're asking for, but you could probably chop out the stuff you don't need..

So why not make both (i.e., one dialog that is a tabbed property sheet, and another dialog that is a wizard property sheet), and only show the one that is needed (based on some condition)?
