How to recreate such an GUI interface. At work, we routinely use a TPageControl with all tabs set to invisible. The TTabsheet pages are filled with TFrames (actually, there is always a TWizardFrame, and all TFrames descend from this) - to ensure the various steps are truly independent. It keeps it RAD, and lets the various tabs be developed independently. TWizardFrame has methods and properties such as 'NextButtonEnabled' 'PreviousButtonEnabled', 'NextButtonCaption' and so in, making the wizard itself pretty generic.
