Wizard icons and images for XP, Vista and Windows 7

I am looking for graphic media for designing Wizards.  The only physical design specification I have available is that which refers to Wizard 97.  I am looking for any update to that (if it exists) and where to find graphic objects that give the controls the look and feel of the platforms mentioned.

Thanks

Hi Jer,

Do you mean you want to design a wizard form in Winform? After I did some research, I haven’t found any one used Wizard 97 in Winform application. If you want to make a wizard form with Winform controls, you can think of using TabControl.

Please look at the following sample.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winforms/thread/c290832f-3b84-4200-aa4a-7a5dc4b8b5bb/
It overrides the WndProc method to hide tabs by trapping the TCM_ADJUSTRECT message.

Please feel free to tell me if I misunderstood anything.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian

Hi,

Yes, I think you misundestood what I am looking for.  In a Winform you can place a control from the Microsoft.WizardFramework DLL and I am looking for artwork in the form of graphics that decorate the type of wizard being created.  See here for a thread that mentions the control.  The standard for the look of the wizard pages (defined as Wizard 97) are defined here.

If I were to use a wizard to install an app on any of the OS platforms mentioned, there is a certain look that accompanies each platform in the subject of icons, images etc.

I hope that helps define better what I am looking for.  Perhaps a MS page that illustrates artwork for OEMs may help but I cant access the graphics for some reason.

Hi Al,

Do you mean you want the pictures on the wizard form?

If so, I think you cannot order them from MSDN forums. These pictures have copyright as well as business usage. If you want to get them, you can contact Microsoft in some way. MSDN forums are used for technology support. Thank you for your understanding.

As for “Microsoft.WizardFramework”, MSFT engineer has already given the answer. Please look at the following thread.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vsx/thread/585f3858-e305-4352-85d2-fbd0b0c3d572/
“That said, this wizard is not officially supported.”
“Finally, this DLL is not on the redistributable list, so you cannot ship it with your products.”


Hope I have not misunderstood you this time.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian

The Wizard pages created is an inherited user control from the MS Wizard FW which is installed in the GAC in the .NET FW  I was looking for pointers from other users of this and other forums to links of sources of artwork that is common to most wizards.
