Hi all !

Is it possible to disable the back button on a wizar page ? There is a
canFlipToNextPage method but no canFlipToPreviosPage in WizardPage
class. Is there a mean to work around this ?

Thank you in advance...

Thierry

Please don't do this. It should always be possible to go a step back in
dialog based workflows. Otherwise the user would have to use "cancel" to
correct some of his input on former pages. From the ergonomic point of
view that would be a really bad design for the user interface.

Ciao, Michael.

I see your point. Anyway if someone is interested to do it nevertheless,
you just have to override getPreviousPage and make it return null...
