Remarks
VCWizCtl contains properties and methods used to programmatically manipulate Visual C++ wizard controls within the Visual C++ wizard architecture. You can call these properties and methods by using JScript or VBScript. The JScript File and HTML Files are the necessary parts of a Custom Wizard project.
However, the VCWizCtl object is not designed to be called from high-end programming languages such as Visual Basic, Visual C#, and Visual C++.
Note
To access the VCWizCtl object from script, use wizard. To access the VCWizCtl object from HTML, use window.external.
