Progress Tracker Properties 

Here’s the basic list of properties which can be used from rules.

ProgressTracker1.Style.Visibility:

• This property allows you to control the visibility of the progress tracker control. You can set it to either show or hide the progress tracker based on your application’s requirements.

ProgressTracker1.Style.Enable:

• This property determines whether the progress tracker control is enabled or disabled. When enabled, users can interact with the progress tracker, such as clicking on steps to navigate between them. When disabled, the progress tracker is non-interactive, and users cannot interact with it.

ProgressTracker1.ActiveStep:

• This property indicates the current active step in the progress tracker. You can use this property to pro-grammatically set or retrieve the active step. For example, when a user completes a step, you can update this property to reflect the next step in the process.

ProgressTracker1.EnableStep:

• This property allows you to enable or activate specific steps in the progress tracker. By setting this property, you can control which steps are clickable or accessible to the user. This is useful when you want to guide users through a sequential process and only allow them to proceed to the next step after completing the current one.

ProgressTracker1.DisableStep:

• Conversely, this property enables you to disable or deactivate specific steps in the progress tracker. When a step is disabled, it is typically greyed out or visually distinguished to indicate that it cannot be selected or interacted with. This is useful when certain steps are temporarily unavailable or should be skipped based on certain conditions.
