How to format wizard?

[David Thielen]

This question is from our html person:

Using the ASP Wizard, I don't seem to be able to separate the Steps
from the Navigation. ASP insists on embedding them both in the same
containing table. I'd like to be able to change the HTML that wraps
these pieces together. How do I get at it?

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Do you mean the Wizard
control in ASP.NET 2.0? Would you please depict more on the issue? Thanks.

Yes the wizard control in ASP.NET 2.0. Our html expert is trying to make the
wizard look a certain way and he needs to apply styles to both tables within
the wizard.

More from our html person:

Actually, this isn't quite correct. What I need to do is to SPLIT the
control into two separate tables, currently the "top" (inputs) and the
"bottom" (next/prev) are wrapped in the same table, but I need to treat
them differently to match the style defined by Randy.

"Need" as it "it would be way easier." Hopefully I can find a
workaround if this proves to be a dead end.

Hi Dave,

Now I understand the question. If you take a look at Wizard's source code
using Reflector, you will notice in CreateControlHierarchy(), it's using
the same Table to add all the child controls. I'm afraid it's not possible
to separate them into different tables. (Although this method is protected,
it's no trivial to override it and add your own implementation)

$%#@* - not the answer I wanted.

Ok, we'll do the best we can with the properties it does expose. I'm
starting to think that the MS controls are a mixed blessing - great for
programmers but awful for the people designing the look & feel of the page.

ps - the #@$&* wasn't aimed at you. Just the frustration of the controls
stopping us from formatting the pages as we want (and making what we do
accomplish about 10 times as hard).

I think our next ASP.NET app it will be no grid, wizard, etc controls. The
simple controls are fine but the complex ones just make it too hard to format
as we want.
