Question about changing dialog box layout

Question

Hey, I just got started designing dialog boxes and windows forms, and I had a basic question.

When you use something like a windows installer, it has a next button, and when you click it the dialog completely changes layout in moving on to the next step. My question is, is this done by loading a completely new dialog box and getting rid of the previous one. Or is there some way of making a dialog with multiple pages/states (not sure what to call them).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Wizards are usually made using the property sheet control from the Common Controls library. They do not create a new dialog, but use something similar to tab pages instead.
