SAPUI5 how to make sap.m.Wizard handles more than 8 Steps

Is there please any way to make the sap.m.Wizard be able to handle more than 8 Steps or is there any alternative to this control? Actually it does not shows the others Steps when I put more than 8.

thank you very much for any tip.

Solution

I just checked the source code of the sap.m.Wizard: https://github.com/SAP/openui5/blob/master/src/sap.m/src/sap/m/Wizard.js

There is a constant that limits the number of steps to 8 (as you've already found out).

This constant is used in the method Wizard.prototype._isMaxStepCountExceeded. This method is then used in Wizard.prototype.addStep.

I see 3 possibilities. 2 of them include subclassing the Wizard:

Override the constant Wizard.CONSTANTS.MAXIMUM_STEPS in your subclass to a value greater than 8.
Override the addStep method in your subclass so unlimited steps are possible.
If branching is enabled, the Wizard ignores the constant MAXIMUM_STEPS. But this does not seem like a good solution to me, because it would require changing each WizardStep in your XML.

Edit: Here is a complete subclassing example

sap.ui.define([
    "sap/m/Wizard"
], function(Wizard) {
    "use strict";

    return Wizard.extend("mynamespace.InfiniteWizard", {

        renderer: {},

        addStep: function (wizardStep) {
            this._incrementStepCount();
            return this.addAggregation("steps", wizardStep);
        }
    });
});
