[WiX-users] Custom Dialog box edit controls and setting Alt hotkeys

2014-07-18 Thread TimM
This could be a simple question, but at the moment I just can not see it... For push buttons and check boxes we just add the amp; in front of the character that we want set for controls Alt hotkey, but if you have Edit and MaskedEdit controls how do you set it's controls Alt hotkey? Thanks.

Why would you want to and what would you expect it to do? For buttons and check boxes they perform the command associated with the control, for an edit control it just doesn't make sense to do so. -Original Message- From: TimM [mailto:timmay...@smarttech.com] Sent: Friday, July 18,

It was a request from one of our managers as they noticed that they can use Alt-Hotkey on the Change Directory dialog box, even though this is a built-in MS dialog box. But that dialog box can do it so they wanted in in the main installer as I have a Custom Dialog box that has 5 edit controls and

To be clear, it's not a question whether WiX supports it. It's a question whether the Windows Installer supports it. Did you try setting the hotkey in a static control with tab order before the edit box. That's the way you typically handle it in Win32 dialog boxes.

[WiX-users] Shared components problem

2014-07-18 Thread Parkes, Kevin
Due to lack of foresight and inexperience when I was new to WiX, I've gotten myself the following problem: I have 2 product installers, A B. Each contains 2 DLLs, X Y. A always installs both X Y to folder M B (optionally) installs X to M and Y to another folder, N A is a released product and

I wouldn't search. Just include Y in two different Components in B and ensure the Guid for the Y Component in B matches the Guid for the Y Component in A and give the Y Component to N a different Guid. ___ FireGiant | Dedicated

Are you using Burn to deploy your install? If so it seems like you'd want to create a patch for your A install and distribute it with the B bundle. Even if the feature isn't currently selected, the patch would update it such that if they went to modify A and chose to add the feature that it

Is it that you are shortening it or that Name != Description. Wix only makes MSI easier. MSI only creates the shortcuts, Windows is responsible for displaying the shortcuts (and their descriptions). I suspect you'd see the same behavior if you created the shortcuts manually in your start menu.

Thanks Jacob, had tried 'lengthening' entries in the menu to rule that out, but apparently I must not have gone wide enough. Windows is indeed the culprit - once you are too wide, it displays both Name Description in two lines for some silly reason. Still wish that WIX would give me a
