Wizard mode

Hi,

In the wizard mode, you have to click on the left menu section title to navigate in the form, and you can enable "previous" and "next" button, and then use them.

Is there another possibility to navigate, something like an action that would set a value ? For example, let's say we have 5 sections, and depending on some answer, we would like to go directly from the 2nd section to the 5th by clicking on a custom button, is that possible ?

Thanks.

There is currently no documented API to do this, but using the XForms setfocus action to focus on a control which is on a hidden wizard page will show that page. Maybe you could use this?

Ok, I'll try that one. When you say that there is currently no documented API, do you maybe mean that there will be some one day ?

Thanks again.

Hi Lomobob,

There could indeed be such an API, but at this point it isn't planned. It could be a function you call from XPath [1], or an action you can call from a process [2]. Right now you can't call processes from buttons that are "inside" the form, just from those at the bottom of the form, but that limitation could clearly be lifted.
