How to have either/or steps in a wizard

[David Thielen]

Hi;

I have a wizard where page 1 has a radio selection of Sql database or xml.
If it's sql ! want to then go to page 2 and hide page 3. If xml I want to go
to page 3 and hide page 2.

Can I do this?

Or is there a better way to do this? Like disable page 2 or 3 and it skips
it and has it greyed in the navigation pane?

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your post.

Based on my understanding, your question is how to dynamically determine
which step to show based on user's choice. If I've misunderstood anything,
please feel free to post here.

As far as I know, the Wizard steps cannot be disabled by default.

I recommend you use a MultiView in Step 2 and create 2 View in it, one is
used to display data when the user selects Sql, another is used to display
data when the user selects Xml. And you handle the NextButtonClick event of
Wizard to check the RadioButtonList's value and set MultiView's
ActiveViewIndex accordingly:

protected void Wizard1_NextButtonClick(object sender,
WizardNavigationEventArgs e)
{
if (Wizard1.ActiveStepIndex == 0)
{
if (RadioButtonList1.SelectedIndex == 0)
{
MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex = 0;
} else
{
MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex = 1;
}
}
}

Hope this helps. Please feel free to post here if anything is unclear.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your update.

I understand that this solution may not be the ideal one that you're after.
I've done more research later but still didn't find way to disable
individual wizard steps. If you have any concerns about this issue, please
feel free to post here.

Thank you for looking more. What I am doing is I have all the steps, I
disable the navigation bar, and I skip steps as needed.

Your telling me that there is no way to disable helped - because I stopped
looking for a way to do that.
