Wizard - Field with optional value

Hello, I hope that they are well.

I have one question, very simple.

It posible define one field of type string, in the wizard, that it will be optional.

There is one attribute to define optional.

The problem is that if not complete all field, the finish button, is not enable.

Thanks.

Hi Leandro, I tried the following recipe provided by the GAT Feb 2007 CTP when you create a new Guidance Package:

<Recipe Name="HelloWorldRecipe" Bound="true">
<Caption>Say a message</Caption>
<Description>Accepts a message as input and shows a message box with it.</Description>
<HostData>
<Icon ID="1046"/>
<CommandBar Name="Solution Folder"/>
<CommandBar Name="Project"/>
<CommandBar Name="Web Project"/>
<CommandBar Name="Web Item"/>
<CommandBar Name="Web Folder"/>
</HostData>
<Arguments>
<Argument Name="Message" Required="false" />
</Arguments>
<GatheringServiceData>
<Wizard xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/pag/gax-wizards" SchemaVersion="1.0">
<Pages>
<Page>
<Title>Collect message to show</Title>
<LinkTitle>Provide a message that will be used by the HelloWorldAction.</LinkTitle>
<Help>You shouldn't need a lot of help!</Help>
<Fields>
<Field ValueName="Message" Label="Message" />

</Fields>
</Page>
</Pages>
</Wizard>
</GatheringServiceData>
<Actions>
<Action Name="HelloWorld" Type="GuidancePackage6.Actions.HelloWorldAction, GuidancePackage6">
<Input Name="HelloMessage" RecipeArgument="Message" />
</Action>
</Actions>
</Recipe>

I added the Required="false" to the Message argument and it works (The finish button is always enabled).
