is there any basic implementation wicket 6.20 provides for a step overview functionality like in this picture or like this if the other won't work?

When looking at the documentation I couldn't find anything close to it, so I started by doing my own implementation like

public List<String> getSteps(WizardModel model){
    Iterator<IWizardStep> iterator = model.stepIterator();
    List<String> steps = new ArrayList<String>();

    for(int i = 1; iterator.hasNext(); i++){
        steps.add(String.valueOf(i));
        iterator.next();
    }

    //model.getActiveStep(); unnecessary in this context
    return steps;
}

to get all possible steps in a List. And now I would go on by getting the index of the current panel (if possible) and get it's state by isColmplete(); to mark it in a different color. But I can't believe, that I'm the first one with this problem.
Should I go on with my idea or is there a better option?

  • Strange, I've never been on the site before and don't need a login, however [this one is google pictures](https://www.google.ch/search?q=wizard+multi+step&rls=com.microsoft:de-CH:IE-Address&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMI5Oi7k5aeyAIVxT8aCh1sJAOO&biw=2438&bih=1253) – Peter Sep 30 '15 at 06:54

    Google show few hundreds of images. Did you check wicket Breadcrumb? Has estetical appearance like these images (but nothing to wizard functionality) – Jacek Cz Sep 30 '15 at 06:58
  • Self-correction wicket breadcrumb is not in main code, but additional by same authors (https://github.com/apache/wicket/tree/master/wicket-examples/src/main/java/org/apache/wicket/examples/breadcrumb) – Jacek Cz Sep 30 '15 at 07:10
  • Never heard of it, but I'll check it out :-) The pictures are just to give you some idea what I mean – Peter Sep 30 '15 at 07:14
  • It seems like this is not really what I'm looking for. I'm trying to get an overview like: These are the numbers of steps, you are at this step and you have already completed those. But thank you for the input anyway :) – Peter Sep 30 '15 at 08:14

You can (have to) implement a wizard yourself, it is not too hard.

I would use a AjaxTabbedPanel as basis. You just have to add a 'next', 'back' and 'finish' bar below, and do some CSS styling

  • I guessed something like this would happen, I'll wait a moment for other opinions, else I'm going to mark your answear as accepted. – Peter Sep 30 '15 at 08:53
  • If you create a Wizard component that has this (very useful!) functionality, it would be awesome if you put it on github as standalone project, so others might benefit (and participate/help you) :) – Rob Audenaerde Sep 30 '15 at 09:11
  • You might want to look at wicket bootstrap wizard functionally. – Mihir Sep 30 '15 at 10:19
  • Sometimes concept of "Wizard' is near to 'Tabbed pane'. I made such exchange on SWT/Jface platform because of small API truobles – Jacek Cz Sep 30 '15 at 10:31
