Why need WizardStep objects be represented as …?

Question

Hello,

This is probably a stupid question, but still..

A Wizard control is made up of a collection of WizardStep objects that represent single steps of a wizard. But why are these W*izardStep* object represented as controls ( thus they require runat=Server attribute )?Couldn’t they be handled similarly to ListItem objects, which don’t require runat attribute, but are instead accessed via *Parent_Control.Item* property?

thanx

WizardStep controls can be containers for other controls, which makes them non-trivial. Whereas ListItems are just simple obects made up of a string and an ID and not much else.
