Click to open or copy the HIERWIZ project files.

HIERWIZ is an example of how to write a custom AppWizard that is based solely on your own steps. The techniques it demonstrates include:

• Converting an existing project into a Custom AppWizard
  
  
• Adding custom pages to a wizard which started out with no pages
  
  
• Validating the user entries before going from one page to the next
  
  
• Changing the state of the Next button depending on user options
  
  
• Conditional manipulation of project templates
  
  
• Adding a second view to an otherwise single view MDI application
  
  
• Adding code to open a default document on startup
