Back button not disabling

[ekramer121]

Having an odd issue where I am attempting to toggle the enabled state of the back button when pages are shown but it doesn't seem to work. The back button is always enabled. The next button toggles just fine though.

// This works
this.advancedWizardControl.NextButtonEnabled = false;

// This does nothing.
this.advancedWizardControl.BackButtonEnabled = false;

Clarification Edit:

When a given page is shown, I set the backButtonEnabled setting to false. I am attempting to disable the Back and/or Next button depending on what options the user has selected.

After cloning the repository and debugging I'm seeing a pattern.

with the following methods:

    private void wizardPage1_PageShow(object sender, WizardPageEventArgs e)
    {
        this.advancedWizard1.BackButtonEnabled = false;
    }

RuntimeWizardStrategy.SetButtonStates()
{...
...
...
if (_wizard.OnAMiddlePage())
{
_wizard.BackButtonEnabled = true;
_wizard.NextButtonEnabled = _wizard.NextButtonEnabledState;
_wizard.SetButtonText("_btnNext", _wizard.ReadNextText());
}
}

I navigate to the page in question the following happens.

1. The RuntimeWizardStrategy.SetButtonStates() method fires, setting the BackButtonEnabled property to TRUE since it is a 'middle page'
2. wizardPage1_PageShow fires... setting the BackButtonEnabled property to false.
3. The wizard page's PageChanged event fires.
4. The RuntimeWizardStrategy.SetButtonStates() method fires again, setting the BackButtonEnabled property to TRUE since it is a 'middle page'

This essentially overwriting my change to the Back button's enabled property.

Hi Ed,

I use the wizard in work projects (have done for years) and haven't seen that issue though it's probably down to the fact that not so long ago I attempted to "clean" the code somewhat and probably introduced it (no tests!) whilst my projects still use the old version.

Are you in a position to patch it and submit the change? I'm not going to get the chance to look at it this week at least due to "going live" on a project at work.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Steve,

I've using the wizard right now on one of my projects, and I have the same issue Ed is having, but I'm facing this issue with both Back & Next buttons. Setting the button enable to false in the PageChanged event is overwritten by the SetButtonStats() method.

Regards,
Ahmed

After removing the enabling of the Next button in the SetButtonStats() at the middle page, it worked fine for me.

if (_wizard.OnAMiddlePage())
            {
                _wizard.BackButtonEnabled = true;
                //this line is removed
                //_wizard.NextButtonEnabled = _wizard.NextButtonEnabledState;
                _wizard.SetButtonText("_btnNext", _wizard.ReadNextText());
            }
