I too would love to see one.
I have done a quick search of the archives and found these seeming useful items. I would hope that some of the people who have posted these types of questions can jump in here and help :) If not, you may want to bother them directly.

Subject: [NAntC-Dev] Dialog tutorial request?
Does anyone have time to give me a quick tutorial on dialogs in the <msi> task?
I have the following:
<!-- Adds the dialog used to specify the virtual directory name -->
<dialogs>
<dialog name="UserCredentialDlg" hcenter="50" vcenter="50"
width="360" height="150" attr="39"
title="[ProductName] [Manufacturer] [ProductVersion]" firstcontrol="UserName"
defaultcontrol="UserName" cancelcontrol="Cancel" />
</dialogs>
This declares a dialog. I think I understand this. Then I have:
<!-- Adds the controls associated with the dialog -->
<controls>
<control dialog="UserCredentialDlg" name="UserLabel" type="Text"
x="8" y="8" width="128" height="23" attr="3"
text="User:"
nextcontrol="UserName" />
<control dialog="UserCredentialDlg" name="PasswordLabel" type="Text"
x="8" y="40" width="128" height="23" attr="3"
text="User:"
nextcontrol="Password" />
<control dialog="UserCredentialDlg" name="PasswordConfirmationLabel" type="Text"
x="8" y="720" width="128" height="23" attr="3"
text="User:"
nextcontrol="PasswordConfirmation" />
<control dialog="UserCredentialDlg" name="UserName" type="Edit"
x="136" y="8" width="216" height="20" attr="7"
property="SERVICEUSER"
text="[SERVICEUSER]"
nextcontrol="Password" />
<!--
Creates an edit control for entering passwords. Add 2097152 to the value in
the Attributes column of the Control table to create an edit control that
displays each character as an asterisk (*) as they are typed into the control.
This attribute is not available with Windows Installer version 1.0.
-->
<control dialog="UserCredentialDlg" name="Password" type="Edit"
x="136" y="40" width="216" height="20" attr="2097159"
property="SERVICEPASSWORD"
text="[SERVICEPASSWORD]"
nextcontrol="PasswordConfirmation" />
<control dialog="UserCredentialDlg" name="PasswordConfirmation" type="Edit"
x="136" y="72" width="48" height="18" attr="2097159"
property="SERVICEPASSWORD"
text="[SERVICEPASSWORD]"
nextcontrol="OK" />
<control dialog="UserCredentialDlg" name="OK" type="PushButton"
x="16" y="112" width="56" height="17" attr="3"
text="OK" nextcontrol="Cancel" />
<control dialog="UserCredentialDlg" name="Cancel" type="PushButton"
x="272" y="112" width="56" height="17" attr="3"
text="Cancel" nextcontrol="OK" />
</controls>
This adds "definition" to the dialog. It basically adds a text box for the user to enter a user name and two password boxes for the user to enter a password and a password confirmation. Finally at the end it adds two buttons for OK and CANCEL. The result that I want is that the user clicks on OK and the properties are set as defined above. If the user clicks CANCEL then the installation is aborted.
Now this is where I start to loose understanding. There are two sections <controlconditions> and <controlevents>. I am not sure how to correctly fill in the values for these two sections. Is what I want is for some validation to occur (make sure that the user name and password exist, and make sure that the password and the password confirmation match) if the validation is OK then I want to call a custom action that will look up some services and use the credentials entered to run the service under a particular account. Like I said if the user clicks CANCEL then I want to abort the installation.
The examples that are on the wiki are too complex and many of the identifiers seem either not to exist or they are defined outside of the example making it very hard for me to read what is going on. My first guess at setting <controlconditions> and <controlevents> is below but this is based on limited understanding and I am sure they are not what I want because I am not sure that I understand what is specified.
Any tips?
Thank you.
Kevin
<controlconditions>
<controlcondition dialog="UserCredentialDlg" control="Cancel" action="Disable"
condition="ShowUserCredentialDlg=""" />
<controlcondition dialog="UserCredentialDlg" control="Cancel" action="Enable"
condition="ShowUserCredentialDlg<>""" />
</controlconditions>
<controlevents>
<!-- Add new control events for the credential dialog -->
<controlevent dialog="UserCredentialDlg" control="OK" name="NewDialog"
argument="SetupTypeDlg" condition="1" order="0" />
<controlevent dialog="UserCredentialDlg" control="Cancel" name="EndDialog"
argument="Exit" condition="1" />
</controlevents>
