Is there a way for me to customize the wizard form by changing the top banner and left banner with my own images?

TIA.

Hi,
Yes, it's possible. An example of this is how SFT changes the top of the banner of its custom pages. What you have to do is to set the Logo property of the Microsoft.WizardFramework.WizardPage class with your own bitmap.

HTH

Thanks for the reply.

That is what I did before but whenever I tried to change the Logo property to something else it throws an "Object reference..." error.

Do I really need to change just the logo property to change the entire top and left banners? Instead of having white banners I would love to have my custom banner on top and on the left side of the wizard. Can this be achieved? Do you have a sample guidance package that I could refer to?

TIA.

You should call the Logo property after initializing the wizard page, for example:

       public CustomWizardPageBase(WizardForm parent) : base(parent)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            ReplaceHeaderPanel();
        }

        private void ReplaceHeaderPanel()
        {
            Control headerPanelControl = Wizard.Controls["_headerBannerPanel"];

            if (headerPanelControl != null)
            {
                PictureBox pictureBox = headerPanelControl.Controls["_pageLogo"] as PictureBox;
              
                Label headlineLabel = headerPanelControl.Controls["_headlineLabel"] as Label;

                this.Logo = Resources.SftWizardHeader;
            }
        }

I'm also including how you can  search the picture box and the headline label of the page by its names.

HTH,

It worked :D

Thanks.

Glad to hear that!
