How difficult is it to create a Wizard? I see that there are a few Wizards in CRM but I don’t see how the are created (I can’t see the code), and when you create a “new” form it doesn’t give you the option to make a Wizard form. Thoughts? ideas?

It’s not difficult, but very time consuming. Yes, you would have to do some extensive programming to create a new wizard in CRM.
Sandy, The principal beind the wizard forms in Navision is quite simple. In a blank form design screen, frame controls are used to represent the wizard screens. These are dynamically repositioned and visualized by using the xpos, ypos and visible properties of the frame in code on the next and back buttons. I hope this helps. Chris.
I agree with the above, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist but you’d better have a lot of patience as it is a royal pain. You typically end up scrolling through the design of a very large form with lots of frames (one for each step). That said, it’s only boring, not really difficult and can take a lot of stress out of a complex user task.
It’s not that bad - When I do a Wizard (And yes, I admit I have done a few (in areas where it actually makes sence)). I take a copy from an existing wizard (That way you get half the code for free) - Deletes the variables and fields you don’t need. It’s like others say - Time consuming - But in some areas, it is worth the effort…
Thanks for your input guys.
You are very welcome, eh
