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

[TimM]

Okay thanks Rob that did the trick. I had to make sure the static text
controls had Tabskip set to 'no' though to get it working. But all good
now

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

[Rob Mensching]

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.

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 they would 
like to Alt-hotkey to set focus to each one.

If there is nothing built into WiX that can support this then I can convince 
them to just use the Tab instead of the Alt-hotkey method.

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

[Hoover, Jacob]

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.

For push buttons and check boxes we just add the & in front of the

[WiX-users] Custom dialog licensing/distribution

[chroyer]

I have seen several messages about the licensing of Wix (e.g. 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29679148) but I am still 
unsure of what I can do 

I want to add one new, simplistic dialog to a Wix predefined UI sequence 
(WixUI_FeatureTree.wxs). I followed instructions/examples and copied most of 
the code from WixUI_FeatureTree.wxs. I am sure that I don't have to 
redistribute the xml of my simple dialog (2 edit boxes and a button), but do I 
need to distribute the modified version of WixUI_FeatureTree.wxs? 

>From Rob's post (see the thread above) it appears that I don't have to (I am 
>considering the dialog sequence a starter example). But the original wxs file 
>would have me distribute my changes in source format. 

I looks like the sample files be cleaned up eventually, but what can I do in 
the meantime? (ignore the license in the source file? just include the .wxs in 
my package, to be installed with out product?)

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Dialog - Property Setting

[Pally Sandher]

>From your code fragment it seems like you're trying to use the inner
text of your publish tags to set your property. Inner text doesn't work
like that, it's generally used as a condition on the element (with some
exceptions like Text Controls).

Try modifying the code for your "yes" and "no" buttons to the following:


  1
  1


  1
  1


That should achieve what you're trying to do with those buttons. The 1
in the inner text just means it always does the Publish events when they
are clicked. See the Publish Element in the WiX.chm for more
information.

Hope this helps and good luck.

There's no way to force a user to answer that question. The closest you 
can get is to set ARPNOREMOVE to force users to go through a maintenance 
mode dialog set.

[WiX-users] Custom dialog during uninstallation

[Jan Bilek]

Hello,
My problem is simple: I need to ask user before an uninstallation 
begins, whether he wants to keep or remove user created files (settings, 
database, etc.).
Is it somehow possible to spawn custom dialog during the uninstallation 
even if the InstallUISequence is bypassed?
Is the only way how to accomplish that to display very own dialog from 
Custom action stored in DLL?

Thanks for any help.

JB

VerifyReadyDlg handles all the installation commands, so if you want to 
make another dialog the "go" dialog, you need to remove the installation 
commands from your copy of VerifyReadyDlg and move them to your new dialog.

WixUI_Minimal is the next less powerful dialog set.

dialogs (WelcomeDlg and LicenseAgreementDlg say).  I've modified a copy
of WixUI_FeatureTree to include my dialog  - I thought I would include

one. Could anyone advise where I'm going wrong?

I resolved by creating 3 different text controls and then hiding the
invalid controls based on feature conditions.
E.g.






 Id="DialogInfo1">
  $(var.head)

$(var.ExTrans)
  


 Id="DialogInfo2">
  $(var.head)

$(var.smtp)

$(var.iis)

[WiX-users] Custom dialog text based on features selected?

[Dale Quigg]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a custom dialog that contains text based on the
features selected.

Assume I have Feature-A and Feature-B.

If only Feature-A is selected, I want the dialog text to be;
  "The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Service (SMTPSVC) will be
restarted"

If only Feature-B is selected, I want the dialog text to be;
  "The Exchange Transport Service (MsExchangeTransport) will be
restarted."

If both Feature-A and Feature-B are selected, I want the dialog text to
be (surprise!);
  "The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Service (SMTPSVC) will be restarted
   The Exchange Transport Service (MsExchangeTransport) will be
restarted."

After reading this thread;
 
http://www.nabble.com/Displaying-UI-AFTER-the-features-have-been-selecte
d-td11587084.html
which got me to Bob's excellent blog entry here;
http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/05/30/feature-conditions-and-ui/
I'm thinking it is not possible.

It appears to me that I can only define what dialog appears next using
feature conditions like;
  

In my case, this is OK because I only have two features, which means I
need three dialogs and I can point to the correct one.
However, if someone had three or more features, this would quickly get
ungainly.

So, basically what I want is to have a dialog like;

  
[snip]

  [MG_SERVICE_TEXT]

  

And create a custom action to set my MG_SERVICE_TEXT property
(immediately) after feature selection is done so the property is correct
when my subsequent dialog is displayed.

Can this be done?

Thanks,
Dale

If you want to build something from the WiX source, yes. WiX v3 improved 
how custom objects and libraries can reuse existing ones.

but not in the binaries? Should I need it if I am running the
binaries? Well I guess I'll get the source anyway and see how it
works.

wix.include is in the root of the WiX source.

[WiX-users] custom dialog set build with nant error

[bryan rasmussen]

nant gives the following error: Build File c:\tools\wix.include does not exist.

I suppose in reference to this include.
  

so, two questions where are the includes in the example? and how do I
set the wix.properties.defined property so that I don't need the
includes.

Cheers,
Bryan Rasmussen

Re: [WiX-users] Custom dialog & control enable / disable

[Milan Tomeš]

Hi Stefan

Thanks a lot but I've already solved my problem. The problem was
between chair and keyboard of course :)
I've used VersionNT in wrong way - I took result value like 500 or so
but I wanted boolean result (if property is set or not) and that was my
problem.
Now I have 2 custom actions and they sets my property and uses
condition like VersionNT / NOT VersionNT.

Thanks anyway for your time

Milan

Hi all,

RadioGroup is linked to property 
_ServiceInstall which has value "VersionNT". I guess that will result in 
1 if VersionNT is set and 0 if not right ? If its true so why my code 
isn't working ? If I set 1 instead if VersionNT in _ServiceInstall 
property value its working ok.

  
  
You didn't post the code for initial setting of _ServiceInstall
property.

I think it should be the custom action (type 51), sequenced before
displaying of the dialog and conditioned by the VersionNT property.


 




VersionNT


Hope that it will help you.

[WiX-users] Custom dialog & control enable / disable

[Milan Tomeš]

Hi all,

I'm writing my very first installation script using WiX and I'm having 
some troubles with that. I have my own setup dialog (which sets some 
properties of database server) and on that dialog I want to enable / 
disable controls in order of running environment / user choices. So I 
have a radio group with options Service (Value = 1) and Standalone 
application (Value = 0). RadioGroup is linked to property 
_ServiceInstall which has value "VersionNT". I guess that will result in 
1 if VersionNT is set and 0 if not right ? If its true so why my code 
isn't working ? If I set 1 instead if VersionNT in _ServiceInstall 
property value its working ok.

Can anybody help me ? I'm really tired of trying this "features".

Here is source code for my dialog:

  

  Choose server type to install


  


  


  Port


  #


  


  


  Service name


  FirebirdServerDefaultInstance
  (_ServiceInstall <> 
"1")
  (_ServiceInstall = "1")


  Service user-friendly name


  FirebirdServer - DefaultInstance
  (_ServiceInstall = "1")
  (_ServiceInstall <> 
"1")


  (_ServiceName <> 
DefaultServerServiceName) OR (_ServiceUserName <> 
DefaultServerServiceUserName)
  (_ServiceName = 
DefaultServerServiceName) AND (_ServiceUserName = 
DefaultServerServiceUserName)


  WixUI_InstallMode = "InstallCustom"
  WixUI_InstallMode = "InstallComplete"


  1


  (_ServerPort < 1024) or (_ServerPort > 
65535)







  


Thanks

Milan
