Recommended controls for order entry wizard

[Paul]

Hi all

I am looking to implement an order entry form that has many fields.  Instead of displaying all fields at once I like to have a wizard like steps approach in which the user would only see the next set of controls if previous one have been entered correctly.

Example:
On first screen let the user enter his/her name and address etc and only then present the user with a button to move to the next step to enter the product that they would like to purchase etc.

Can you recommend which Telerik controls would fit best for this type of scenario?  Can anyone point me to a blog/example of this in action or would you recommend a different approach?

Using Silverlight 5, Prism, MVVM.

Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,

A combination of RadTabControl and RadDataForm could do the job .

Hi Pavel

Could you elaborate more (if possible) on how this could be acheived?  Would I have a tabcontrol and only enable the next tab when all fields in first tab are complete?  Are ther any examples of doing this as I would consider this a common senario?

eI know there is somewhare on this site which you can request code samples but can't remember where it was.  This might sound like I want someone to do the job for me but that's not the case I just need a start as this is not something I have done before and the first time I've used Telerik controls so its all a new learning curve for me.

Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul ,

Yes, that is what I had in mind - two buttons and a RadTab control .We have never considered making an example as it actually is quite a routine scenario - handling the click events of the buttons and changing the current tab of the RadTab control.

I may offer my further help in the following way - should you meet any specific trouble while implementing this with RadControls for Silverlight  do not hesitate to contact us.

All the best,
