Hi guys,
I have 2 questions:

1- How can I make dialogs like setup programs which after clicking next button it will be shown some new controls in the same dialog?

2- In general how can I make graphical forms in MFC with my own styles and button and so on? For example please see this screen shot from AVAST Anti-virus:

Thank you so much.

Install programs are nothing more than Wizard forms. I believe that MFC already has a Wizard dialog class (it's been 4 years since I did any C++, so the memory is hazy). Google is your friend.

This article[^] from here on Code Project might give you some ideas. Even if those are only suitable search terms.

Hi Reza,

1: See the MFC CPropertySheet and CPropertyPage[^] classes and the CPropertySheet::SetWizardMode()[^] member.

2: From Visual Studio 2008 SP1 a large set of interface elements[^] has been added to MFC. They can be used to compose something like your screenshot. Work ahead :)

cheers,
AR
