Re: Disable "Finish" button in wizardpage

[sangl@xxxxxxxxx (Sang)]

Hi Bob,

You didn't get my point.  canFinish() does absolutely nothing and
isPageComplete() disable both the "Next" and "Finish()" buttons. This kind
of behavior is not what I expect.  I would like the Next button to be
enabled so the user can go to Next page, meanwhile, I would like the
Finish button to be disabled so the user cannot finish the wizard in the
middle of the process.
