    Reuse Button

    Hi,
    I was wondering... is it possible to create a "next" button control in vb express 2008 like they do in setup programs.
    Thank you,

    If you want to create a wizard interface then there are various ways to do it. The one I'd choose would be to use a single form with a single set of common Buttons on it (Back, Next, Cancel) and then a UserControl for each page. The UserControls would be dynamically created and destroyed as each page was viewed, but the Buttons would be constant.

    Go to the codebank. There is a wizard control there. Learn the code as its pretty easy. I think it uses a array of panel controls to display and hide information.
