Wizard overview bar
Hi all, I have a wizard implemented that walks the user through a dynamic amount of steps. I also added an overview bar to show progress to the user, essentially a picture moving an arrow from left to right. So far the overview is defined upon wizard creation with the picture staying the same in all steps. Now, I can go ahead and make an Ajax wizard out of my normal wizard and hopefully update the overview bar with every step. Before going to such lengths, though, is there a way to do it with the regular wizard? Natalie P.S.

Re: Wizard overview bar
Hi Natalie, If I understand your description correctly, then updating your wizard to use AJAX is a matter of (1) replacing links/buttons with AJAX ones, and (2) adding the overview bar to the AjaxRequestTarget so that it gets updated. An approach to #1 is to construct links/buttons with a factory method that knows whether the wizard is AJAX or not. An approach to #2 in Wicket 1.5 is for your wizard to override Component#onEvent() and add the overview bar to AjaxRequestTarget payloads[1]. In 1.4 I think you're stuck with something more manual. Maybe the factory method in #1 produces links/buttons that do this by default.

Re: Wizard overview bar
Thanks for the quick reply! I think I can go the AJAX way, I was just wondering if there's something quicker than that. -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/Wizard-overview-bar-tp4414812p4414873.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
Re: Wizard overview bar
Like an application setting that AJAX-ifies your entire app? No, Wicket makes AJAX relatively easy but you still need to make decisions, for example about what gets rendered in the response.

Re: Wizard overview bar
Dan, that's not what I meant. It never occurred to me to make my entire Application AJAX. I meant I can make an AjaxWizard, no problem. My question was about the basic wizard, if I can have an overview bar that is changeable while using the regular Wizard class. But I guess not...

Re: Wizard overview bar
Ah, sorry for my misunderstanding. Have you experimented with IWizardModelListener#onActiveStepChanged()? Maybe you can get the ART with AjaxRequestTarget.get() and add your overview bar.
