New User / New UI Tutorial

[FLDelphi 0]

We're doing big shifts to our UI and wanted to create a short wizard that introduces people to the new elements. A floating popup (maybe a drop shadow) that says "welcome to the new..." and then prev/next buttons that can direct the users to new elements all over the UI. We'd also want to only show this once for new users. This happens a lot of web pages, but I can't think of many desktop apps that do it.

 

Are there any 3rd party components that can solve some of these requirements?

 

If we have to do it ourselves, what would be the go to standard component? A panel? A frame?

What about dimming out your UI and showing the wizard in the middle, in front of the dimmed UI?

 

A while ago I managed to create a panel which does just that, feel free to check it out.
