Re: [WiX-users] MaskedEdit and disable Next button?
Nothing gained and much lost. The problem is that these controls don't publish any events. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368036(VS.85).aspx The only controls that publish anything are these: CheckBox DirectoryList PushButton SelectionTree Here is what MSDN says about running custom actions: You can run custom actions by publishing a ControlEvent from a PushButton control or Checkbox control. Add a record to the ControlEvent table with the names of the dialog and the control publishing the ControlEvent. This control should publish a DoAction ControlEvent notifying the installer to run the custom action. On Windows XP or earlier systems, you cannot run a custom action by publishing a ControlEvent from a SelectionTree control. -Original Message- From: kerbe...@noopy.org [mailto:kerbe...@noopy.org] Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 4:49 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Would it be recommended to scrap the MaskedEdit and use a (text) type="Edit" instead? I suppose while not as aesthetically pleasing -- and that I lose the MaskedEdit feature of easy input checking -- implementing type="Edit" should do what I want.

Unless you have the person push some other button to call your custom action, I have no idea how you would get your custom action invoked to check the lengths to set the property needed to enable your Next button. -Original Message- From: kerbe...@noopy.org [mailto:kerbe...@noopy.org] Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 6:16 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] MaskedEdit and disable Next button? Hello, In my installer that I created with Wix, I click a checkbox to accept the license agreement and this enables the Next button. I want to do the same with a MaskedEdit entry or two. That is, until both MaskedEdit entries have at least X characters, I want the Next button to be disabled. I'd assume that I could make a call into a DLL to check someFunction(...) where some function checks that session["PIDKEY"].Length >= X, but I'm not quite sure if this is possible or what my custom actions might look like. Please advise if you have any suggestions. -- K -- Come build with us! The BlackBerry(R) Developer Conference in SF, CA is the only developer event you need to attend this year.
