public class WizardPage

<Obsolete("The ChartWizard is obsolete now. Use the ChartDesigner instead.")>
Public Class WizardPage

The following members return WizardPage objects:

Remarks

There are several predefined page types, characterizing the pages available (already registered) in a new instance of the Chart Wizard. You may hide (unregister) the pages via the WizardGroup.UnregisterPage method, or create your own using the WizardGroup.RegisterPage method.

To change the page attributes (WizardPage.Label, WizardPage.Description, WizardPage.Image) you have to unregister the page if it is already registered, and register it.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to add a new group with a new page to the Chart Wizard at runtime.

First, create a control that becomes a page’s content. Create a new control that inherits from the WizardControlBase and drop the ChartControl onto it. This follows because the page is intended to customize the chart. The page should contain a chart control to display the changes as the settings are modified.

Then, use the following code to create a group and a page. You can handle the WizardPage.InitializePage event to get access to the contained chart control.

C#
VB.NET

using DevExpress.XtraCharts.Wizard;
//...

private void ShowNewWizard() {
    // Create a Wizard instance.
    ChartWizard wiz = new ChartWizard(this.chartControl1);

    // Create a new group.
    WizardGroup MyWizardGroup = wiz.RegisterGroup("NewGroup");

    // Create a new page with a "MyPage" name, "MyHeader" as a caption, "MyDesription" 
    // as a description, without image. It contains the UserControl1.
    WizardPage MyWizardPage =  MyWizardGroup.RegisterPage(typeof(UserControl1), 
        "MyPage", "MyHeader", "MyDesription", null);

    // Subscribe to the InitializePage event.
    MyWizardPage.InitializePage += new InitializePageEventHandler (MyWizardPage_InitializePage);

    // Invoke the Wizard.
    wiz.ShowDialog();
}

void MyWizardPage_InitializePage(object sender, InitializePageEventArgs e) {
    e.Chart = ((UserControl1)e.Control).chartControl1;
}

Imports DevExpress.XtraCharts.Wizard
' ...

Private Sub ShowNewWizard()
    ' Create a Wizard instance.
    Dim wiz As New ChartWizard(Me.chartControl1)

    ' Create a new group.
    Dim MyWizardGroup As WizardGroup = wiz.RegisterGroup("NewGroup")

    ' Create a new page with a "MyPage" name, "MyHeader" as a caption, 
    ' "MyDesription" as a description, without image. It contains the UserControl1.
    Dim MyWizardPage As WizardPage = MyWizardGroup.RegisterPage(GetType(UserControl1), _
        "MyPage", "MyHeader", "MyDesription", Nothing)

    ' Subscribe to the InitializePage event.
    AddHandler MyWizardPage.InitializePage, AddressOf MyWizardPage_InitializePage

    ' Invoke the Wizard.
    wiz.ShowDialog()
End Sub
