I want to design a GUI for walking through creating an NT account according
to local standards/requirements. Replacing our command line version with a
GUI version presents some general programming problems which I must solve if
I am to write this and other GUI wizard-based apps.
I am new to Win32-GUI however, I have gone through some of the gui-tut pages
and I am capable of getting a dialogue window on screen with some carefully
positioned labels and buttons, along with processing user actions.
Which approach should be taken for designing wizards? Two approaches spring
to mind.
I could have a single window on which I create and destroy controls to give
the illusion of different steps or pages the user must go through. This
might use minimum resources but would be hard to code, test and debug as
well as probably being slow.
I could have one window per step in the wizard.
There are pros and cons to both methods.
Can anyone recommend how I might design this solution?
Regards,
Ian.
