Tk::Wizard - Wizard GUI Framework
=================================

IMPORTANT CHANGE(S) FROM PREVOUS VERSION(S)

As of Tk::Wizard version 2.044 (distribution version 2.111),
the -width and -height arguments to blank_frame() are applied
to the CONTENT AREA ONLY, not to the entire Wizard window.
Use the new Tk::Wizard::Sizer module (included with this distro)
to semi-automatically recalculate what you should pass in the
-width and -height arguments.

WARNING

There is a bug in some versions of Tk::DirTree (part of the Tk-Tree
distribution) that will cause Tk::Wizard's dirSelect page to spit out
large warning messages, and cause the Wizard to get stuck, on MSWin32
systems. See RT bug #30781
<https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30781>. To work around
this, look at your Tk/DirTree.pm line 98. Delete the '/', which
appears as the first argument to catfile().

INSTALLATION

This module can be installed in the normal perl way, such as:

perl -MCPAN -e "install Tk::Wizard"

or, unpack the archive and in the new folder execute the following:

perl Makefile.PL
make all test
make install

If you are on Windows you might have to use nmake instead of make.

If you set environment variable TEST_INTERACTIVE to any non-zero
value, most of the tests will pause and you will have to click the
"Next" button several times to get through them.

DESCRIPTION

In the context of this namespace, a Wizard is defined as a graphical
user interface (GUI) that presents information, and possibly performs
tasks, step-by-step via a series of different pages. Pages (or
'screens', or 'Wizard frames') may be chosen logically depending upon
user input.

The "Tk::Wizard" module automates a large part of the creation of a
wizard program to collect information and then perform some complex
tasks based upon it.

The wizard feel is largly based upon the Microsoft(TM,etc) wizard style:
the default is similar to that found in Microsoft Windows 95; a more
Windows 2000-like feel is also supported (see the "-style" entry in
"WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS".) Subclassing the module to provide different
look-and-feel is highly encouraged: please see "NOTES ON SUB-CLASSING
Tk::Wizard".

NB: THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ALPHA SOFTWARE. ALL CONTRIBUTIONS ARE WELCOME!
