3 step wizard - ignore last step

Hi;

I have a 3 step wizard. In some cases when they go from [0] to [1] I know
that I do not want to show page [2] but instead want [1] to be the last page
with the finish button.

What is the best way to implement this?

Hello Dave,

From your description, you want to let your wizard control dynamically
determine which page should be the last page and stop further navigation,
correct?

Based on my research, the ASP.NET wizard control provide the
"ActiveStepChanged" and "NextButtonClick" events. So you can add some code
logic in these events to determine whether you should got to the next tab
or cancel the navigation or directly go to hte final finish step.

For your scenario, I suggest you create a dedicated finish step and all the
other former steps can directly go to it when the operation should be
finished. Then, you can add code logic in "NextButtonClick" event and
determine whether we should directly let the wizard control to to the final
finish step. e.g.

===============================
protected void Wizard1_NextButtonClick(object sender,
WizardNavigationEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CurrentStepIndex == 1)
        {
            if (txtStep2.Text == "finish")
            {

                Wizard1.MoveTo(Wizard1.WizardSteps[3]);
            }
        }
    }

======================================

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Hi;

To resolve this is in OnNextButtonClick I check and if I just want pages 0 &
1 I set page 1 to WizardStepType.Finish and in the OnFinishButtonClick I
added:
        if (validate())
        {
            wnea.Cancel = true;
            return;
        }

The is in the finish handler is key because otherwise on an error it will
still go to the next page.

Hi Dave,

Yes, according to your code logic an steps' structure, you can use either
the nextButtonClick or FinishButtonClick to do the step swiching logic. So
far what we can utilize to control the workflow of wizard control are just
these events.
