Re: [WiX-users] Message Box at the top of Installer Dialog
Those DTF managed custom actions tree up to call MsiProcessMessage(), so you're
restricted to the functionality of MsiProcessMessage. I assume that if the
IntelliSense in the dev environment doesn't offer what you want then you can't
do it.

If you know the title of your dialog, you can get a handle to it by
calling FindWindow("MsiDialogCloseClass", "My dialog title"). You can
then use this as the owning HWND when calling MessageBox().
