A customer asked <\/p>\n

We’re using the Property­Sheet<\/code> function to create a wizard. We’ve been able to remove almost all of the wizard elements, but we can’t figure out how to get rid of the footer area. Is there a way to get rid of that? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The customer included a picture of what they were talking about, with the offending area highlighted: <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
  ×  <\/b><\/span><\/span> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
\n

Text text text<\/p>\n

Text text text<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n

This area <\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Um, that footer area is where the Back\/Next buttons go. If you remove the navigation buttons, then what you have isn’t really a wizard any more. <\/p>\n

What you’ve got there is a dialog box. <\/p>\n

So use a dialog box. <\/p>\n

You’ve ordered a cheeseburger and are trying to remove every last bit of cheese. Don’t do that. Just order a hamburger if that’s what you want. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
