Description Curtis d'Entremont CLA 2004-11-01 16:20:29 EST 
I'm trying to create an import wizard that asks a series of questions, each 
based on the results of the previous page. The layout and organization of the 
wizard pages doesn't change, just the values in the fields. So I need to do a 
bit of processing between each page and populate the next one just before the 
user navigates to it.

I see the WizardDialog has protected methods where you can listen for 
Next/Previous, but in an import wizard I can't override these because it is the 
platform that creates the dialog.

Maybe I missed something, but I just don't see any way to do this. It looks 
like all the wizard UI content has to be defined at the creation of the import 
wizard.

Any idea when this is slated for?  We need this for a downstream product.

Not for 3.2 as the API freeze has past.
