Do we need an article for it? :)

I believe that we do because there are some details that the documentation
doesn't mention. Unfortunately, neither does the article!

Little "gotchas" like how to code and what #defines to use for the Wizard 97
interface and how to design your wizard project so that it at least has some
semblance of OO design.

In addition, things like how to perform a long task without "hanging" the
UI, how to create reusable classes in your wizards so that you aren't
constantly recreating the same dialogs templates. How best to localize a
wizard UI, how to perform navigational "jumps" in the UI and how to handle
the little quirks in OnSetActive etc.

Certainly some of the above topics are applicable to more than just wizards,
but there are some special contexts in which they are used in wizards that
it would be nice to see documented.

See? We do need an article for wizards! :)
