Homework 5

In this homework, you will extend the functionality of the Wizard. You will use the Wizard from Homework #4 and provide the following extra features:.

New Features:

There will be two modes for the Wizard: Basic and Advanced.
Basic Mode will be identical to Homework #4, except there will be an additional button on the bottom which will shift the Wizard to advanced mode
In advanced mode, the Wizard shall display a list of wizard panels to the left. Clicking on a panel will cause it to be displayed in the Wizard. Values for data fields will be verified prior to a new panel being shown.
There will be a button in the bottom of the Advanced mode which allows the user to go back to basic mode with no loss of state or data.
Shifting from Advanced to Basic and back again will not change the WizardPanel being viewed.

Intelligent defaults will be supplied for all values, so that a finish button may be selected at any time in the process. Icons will be used with all buttons.

The Basic Mode wizard shall have an icon area, an explanatory, a next, back, cancel and finish button (enabled at the appropriate times), and shall be of fixed shape during the wizard process. The Advanced Mode wizard shall have a list of topic areas at the left, with WizardPanels displayed on the right. There will be three buttons, a Basic Wizard Mode, a Cancel and a Finish button. When the Finish button is pushed, the wizard shall disappear and the graph will come up.

When the graph is finally displayed, it shall contain a series of controls in the window that will allow you to change the following:
