FWIW, I have to concur with the advice that Tracy gave you and I can
also recommend--HIGHLY--the content at the link that Haykel gave you.
In short, use Wizard-style navigation for
infrequent/complex/inherently multi-step tasks. For the rest of
(usually, most of) your tasks, use a more fluid navi
Thanks guys for all your responses so far.
To clarify, it is a multi-step process (with a few possible branches).
Tracy/Jim, for the most part I agree. Ideal if I was given the scope to
re-design the application, but I've just been handed the task of re-writing
the step-process logic. The client i
Depending on the application type, the command pattern works quite nicely
with navigation. You can then also implement a memento more easily and have
the command support an "undo" function allowing you to go back and forth.
we use slide (obviously) and the uri based navigation (based on states) wo
Thanks v much Johannes - Command was the only pattern I had considered thus

it is not a framework in the sense of cairng
