Description Jan Kovar 2003-09-15 16:07:33 UTC 
When trying to fix bug #33199 I found out that 
there is no normal way to update the wizard 
buttons without user interaction.

UseCase: The Import Management Tool wizard needs 
to have a source parsed before it could 
continue. To make it more responsive it shows 
the panel right a way with 'Please wait' message 
in the body.
However all the buttons are enabled, so if the 
user is quick he can continue without having 
parsing finished which results in exception.

Logical solution is to disable those buttons 
during parsing which is not problem to do.

However once parsing is done the buttons must be 
made enabled. But that is not so easy as there 
is no public method to "refresh" the buttons.
Probably best would be to make method UpdateState
() public.
