Creating a Wizard

In this chapter, you define a wizard that enables end users to add a Project. The wizard has two parts:

• One where you specify information about the new project
• One where you add the tasks that are part of the project

By providing a wizard, you give your end users an easy way to define a new project and all of the information that goes with it.

Some designers might argue that this is not the best use of a wizard. This tutorial includes it simply as an example to show how quick and easy it is to create sophisticated user interfaces by inheriting from patterns.

This chapter is your first opportunity to work with the Action Diagrammer, which you use to modify inherited code.

This section contains the following topics:
