Is there a wizard control in WPF?

Question

Are there any wizard type controls in WPF? I need functionality where I can go forward and back and use tabs to select a particular item which will show the details of the nested items. I can use the TabControl control but the tab items are dynamic so I cannot nest the region inside the tab item.

Answer 1

WPF has a navigation infrastructure built in:

Answer 2

Another simple way I have used for a basic Wizard is to use multiple Grids and change the Visibility properties when the buttons are clicked, using an int to keep track of the 'step number'

    <Grid Name="Page1">
        <TextBlock>Page 1</TextBlock>
    </Grid>

    <Grid Name="Page2" Visibility="Hidden">
        <TextBlock>Page 2</TextBlock>
    </Grid>

Answer 7

MVVM Wizard - Usage like this (Requires DI container, views are created on first navigation)

<controls:Wizard>
    <controls:WizardStep ViewType="{x:Type test:View1}"  />
    <controls:WizardStep ViewType="{x:Type test:View2}" />
    <controls:WizardStep ViewType="{x:Type test:View3}" />
</controls:Wizard>

or like this (no DI is required, but creates all views straight away)

<controls:Wizard>

    <controls:WizardStep>
        <test:View1 />
    </controls:WizardStep>

    <controls:WizardStep>
        <test:View2 />
    </controls:WizardStep>

    <controls:WizardStep>
        <test:View3 />
    </controls:WizardStep>

</controls:Wizard>
