Wizard does not show subclassed WizardPage

[Hillin]

Hi,

I'm running into this problem: I have a Wizard with some pages. If I place these pages directly into the Wizard in XAML, everything works well. However, as I wanted to manage the pages in a cleaner manner, I created and designed each page like a UserControl - I create a UserControl, change its base class to telerik:WizardPage, and design the page in it. Unfortunately pages created this way does not show in the Wizard.

Is this a bug or by design? What's the best practice to manage a Wizard with many pages, with each of which has its own complex logic?

Hello Hillin,

This behavior would be expected if you use NoXaml dlls. If that's your case you will need to create a style that targets the custom UserControl (deriving from WizardPage) and based it on the default WizardPageStyle. You can read a bit more about this in the Styling Controls article. Here is also an example in code:

<Application.Resources>
  <ResourceDictionary>
    <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
      <ResourceDictionary Source="Themes/System.Windows.xaml" />
      <ResourceDictionary Source="Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.xaml" />
      <ResourceDictionary Source="Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.xaml" />
    </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    <Style TargetType="local:MyCustomWizardPageControl" BasedOn="{StaticResource WizardPageStyle}" />
  </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

I hope this helps.
