Interface IWizardNode
-
public interface IWizardNode
A wizard node acts a placeholder for a real wizard in a wizard
selection page. It is done in such a way that the actual creation
of a wizard can be deferred until the wizard is really needed.
When a wizard node comes into existence, its wizard may or may
not have been created yet; isContentCreated
can
be used to determine which. A node may be asked for its wizard
using getWizard
, which will force it to be created
if required. Once the client is done with a wizard node, its
dispose
method must be called to free up the wizard;
once disposes, the node should no longer be used.
This interface should be implemented by clients wishing to
support this kind of wizard placeholder in a wizard selection page.
