The iFIX Wizards Toolbar can be used in two ways. You can run the dialog boxes consecutively as a wizard with the click of a single button, or you can open each dialog box separately. When you run the dialogs as a wizard, you are provided with Next and Back buttons to move forward and backward through the dialog boxes. When you open an individual dialog box, you simply click OK to save your changes and close the dialog box.
