Actipro Software's Wizard control provides a powerful framework for developing wizards that follow the Wizard97 specifications. It is a 100%-native .NET control, written in C#.

Its design-time features allow you to visually design your wizard. At design-time you can manage all the pages in the wizard, navigate through the pages, and lay out each page's child controls. The user interface of the wizard can be completely customized and is reflected in the designer.

Background fills are part of the powerful Actipro WinUICore/Shared user interface library. They can draw solid color, gradient, image-tiled, and other backgrounds. They are extremely easy to set up while in design mode. Wizard pages and wizard renderers both have a number of properties that use the BackgroundFill type. The background fills on renderers generally apply as global defaults, while those on wizard pages are generally page-specific overrides.

You can create complex background fills and apply them to your wizard. Doing this enables your wizard to take on a very complex and original appearance. For instance, a wizard page could be made to have the Windows Vista look and feel.
