So I am trying to create a form in Visual Studio C# 2010 Express that is going to act as a sequential form. I am not sure if I am using the correct term for this type of form and I have not found any tutorials online for this either.
Basically, I have a form that is going to ask the user for data one step at a time. It’s going to display a couple of inputs on the initial form. There is a NEXT button in the bottom that will guide users to the next set of inputs if all info is filled out on the initial form.
I know how to create a popup form, but I want a new set of inputs to be displayed within the main form when the user presses NEXT. There should also be a BACK button. Kind of like a step-by-step installation procedure one would see when installing IBM’s RAD, for example.
I dont have any actual code yet, I am just trying to find a tutorial that is going to simulate this type of form so I can learn how to do it best.
What you are looking for is mostly known as a Wizard that will guide the user through a predefined number of steps.
Here are some examples to get you going:
