I am preparing for a small demo in GAT, in that I havethe scenario,

When the solution template is selected and after entering the name, the next step is I should see a wizard prompting the user to choose one of the application 1.Windows 2. Web

So I am planning for a radio buttons in the wizard, According to the value, I should build the structure for Windows or web Enterprise application with three layers i.eUI(.aspx/.form depending on choice) , Business and Data Layer should appear now my question is , how do I place the radio buttons in the wizard, retrive the value from the choice chosen and according to the value how do i choose the web/windows Enterprise application.

Thanks in advance

Hi satish,

Please take a look at the GAT Hands On Lab (you can find the latest version as part of the SFT download @ www.softwarefactoriestoolkit.net) where custom wizard pages are used. These pages contains controls like radio buttons along with the code on how to read/write recipe arguments based on the values for these.

thanks,

Hi Satish,

well if you want to use the default wizard page (which is defined with the manifest metadata, no a custom one) you can't use radio buttons anyway what you could do is use a typeconverter for certain argument then provide the value options for it. The default wizard page will replace the regular textbox with a combo box with the options provided by that typeconverter.

If you really want to use radio buttons you have to create your own custom wizard page.

Hi jose

thanks for the reply. I do want to use radio buttons. However how do i use the result of the chosen radio button. Since choosing one of the radio button makes to implement either web/windows application. So how do I do this.

thanks
