About manual data binding

The principle of manual data binding is very simple. When the property page or wizard page is initialized, code associated with the Visual Basic form should fill the controls based on the property values of the selected object.

Initializing the values of controls should be done in the InitWithData method. Besides custom property values, you can also use this procedure to display other information about the document, such as calculated values or data from external sources.

When the user saves changes to the form by clicking the Apply or OK buttons (Next or Finish, in the case of a wizard page), this calls the ApplyChanges method, in which code should save the changes back to the vault.
