B4J Tutorial [ABMaterial] New component ABMSmartWizard

I'm finishing up ABMaterial 3.00 Chipmunk and a new component that has been introduced is ABMSmartWizard.

ABMSmartWizard is a flexible step wizard component. It is easy to implement and gives a neat and stylish interface for your forms, checkout screen, registration steps etc.

Usage example:
B4X:
public Sub ConnectPage()
   ...   
   Dim wizA As ABMSmartWizard
   wizA.Initialize(page, "wizA","Previous", "Next", "Finish", "wizA")
   wizA.AddStep("stepA1", "Step 1", "Email Address","", BuildContainer("StepA1Cont"), ABM.SMARTWIZARD_STATE_ACTIVE)
   wizA.AddStep("stepA2", "Step 2", "Name","", BuildContainer("StepA2Cont"), ABM.SMARTWIZARD_STATE_DISABLED)
   wizA.AddStep("stepA3", "Step 3", "Address","", BuildContainer("StepA3Cont"), ABM.SMARTWIZARD_STATE_DISABLED)
   wizA.AddStep("stepA4", "Step 4", "Terms and conditions","", BuildContainer("StepA4Cont"), ABM.SMARTWIZARD_STATE_DISABLED)
   page.CellR(1,1).AddComponent(wizA)
   ...
   
   ' also add the components to the footer
   ABMShared.ConnectFooterFixed(page)
   
   page.Refresh ' IMPORTANT
   
   ' NEW, because we use ShowLoaderType=ABM.LOADER_TYPE_MANUAL
   page.FinishedLoading 'IMPORTANT
   
   page.RestoreNavigationBarPosition
End Sub

Sub BuildContainer(ID As String) As ABMContainer
   Dim cont As ABMContainer
   cont.Initialize(page, ID, "")   
   Select Case ID
     Case "StepA1Cont"
       cont.AddRowsM(2, True,0,0,"").AddCells12(1,"")
       cont.BuildGrid ' IMPORTANT!
       Dim emaillbl As ABMLabel = ABMShared.BuildHeader(page, ID & "emaillbl", "Your Email Address")
