Multi-Page Dialogs<br />
Properties<br />
A dialog in <strong>OpenOffice</strong>.<strong>org</strong> can have more than one tab page. The Step property of a dialog defines the current<br />
tab page of the dialog whereas the Step property for a control element specifies the tab page where the control<br />
element is to be displayed.<br />
The Step-value of 0 is a special case. If you set this value to zero in a dialog, all of the control elements are visible<br />
regardless of their Step value. Similarly, if you set this value to zero for a control element, the element is<br />
displayed on all of the tab pages in a dialog.<br />
Designing Page 1 of the dialog<br />
In the preceding example, you can also assign the Step value of 0 to the dividing line as well as the Cancel,<br />
Prev, Next, and Done buttons to display these elements on all pages. You can also assign the elements to an<br />
individual tab page (for example page 1).<br />
The following program code shows how the Step value in event handlers of the Next and Prev buttons can be<br />
increased or reduced and changes the status of the buttons.<br />
Sub cmdNext_Initiated<br />
Dim cmdNext As Object<br />
Dim cmdPrev As Object<br />
cmdPrev = Dlg.getControl("cmdPrev")<br />
cmdNext = Dlg.getControl("cmdNext")<br />
cmdPrev.Model.Enabled = Not cmdPrev.Model.Enabled<br />
cmdNext.Model.Enabled = False<br />
Dlg.Model.Step = Dlg.Model.Step + 1<br />
End Sub<br />
Sub cmdPrev_Initiated<br />
Dim cmdNext As Object<br />
Dim cmdPrev As Object<br />
cmdPrev = Dlg.getControl("cmdPrev")<br />
cmdNext = Dlg.getControl("cmdNext")<br />
cmdPrev.Model.Enabled = False<br />
cmdNext.Model.Enabled = True<br />
Dlg.Model.Step = Dlg.Model.Step - 1<br />
End Sub<br />
A global Dlg variable that references an open dialog must be included to make this example possible. The dialog<br />
then changes its appearance as follows:<br />
