Thanks Blair.
"need to be set before you open the dialog" - do you mean to set the property
before the install wizard dialog? That must be on a very early stage.
Currently, we have this code:
<CustomAction Id="SetSearchFolderProp"
Property="SETTING_FOLDERS_PROP"
Value="$(var.WIX_UPGRADE_SETTING_PARAMS)"
/>
<Binary Id="DetectSettingMigrationBin" SourceFile="DetectSetting.dll" />
<CustomAction Id="DetectSettingMigrationCA"
BinaryKey="DetectSettingMigrationBin"
DllEntry="DetectSetting"
Execute="firstSequence"
/>
<InstallUISequence>
<Custom Action="SetSearchFolderProp" After="AppSearch" />
<Custom Action="DetectSettingMigrationCA" After="SetSearchFolderProp" />
</InstallUISequence>
How can I schedule it to make sure it is "set before I open the dialog"?
"If
while the dialog is open you want to change the visibility of the checkbox
you subscribe to an event." - how to subscribe an event?
Thanks.

If you want to use a condition to show or hide it, all properties used in
that condition need to be set before you open the dialog (make sure that
NEED_MIGRATE_SETTING is set by something not triggered by this dialog). If
while the dialog is open you want to change the visibility of the checkbox
you subscribe to an event.

Hi all,
If you know how to show/hide a checkbox based on a property which is set on
runtime, please let me know. We're eager to see the solution.
Basically, we need to show the end user a dialog to tell them if they want
to migrate their existing settings from old version to new. I'm having
trouble to conditionally show a
dialog(http://n2.nabble.com/How-to-detect-files-presence-and-conditionally-s
how-a-new-added-dialog-page-td3855938i20.html ). Well, we can show it, but
we'll have to click the next button two times to get it move forward.
Anyways, discussed with our team, we're even okay by just conditionally
show/hide a checkbox. If this work, we can give up the conditionally showing
dialog which cause much too much trouble. But "conditionally show/hide
checkout" doesn't work either. Can you point out my problem? Here is the
code:
<Control Id="MigrateSettingsCheckBox" Type="CheckBox" X="20" Y="220"
Width="290" Height="17"
Property="MIGRATE_SETTING_CHECKBOX_VALUE" CheckBoxValue="1"
Text="Migrate settings from old version." >
<Condition Action="show">Not Installed and NEED_MIGRATE_SETTING</Condition>
</Control>
The reason we have to "conditionally" show the checkbox is that, some of our
users may not have old version of software, they probably just buy the new
version. So there is no point to always show that checkbox. We have a custom
action(DLL) can detect if the end user needs to migrate settings, and
further set a property on runtime. This checkbox's show action is associated
with that property. Does it make sense?
Many many thanks.

We use Wix 3.0.
How is Control condition supposed to work?
I've this code:
<Control Id="MigrateSettingsCheckBox" Type="CheckBox" X="20" Y="220"
Width="290" Height="17"
Property="MIGRATE_SETTING_CHECKBOX_VALUE" CheckBoxValue="1"
Text="Migrate settings from old version." >
<Condition Action="show">Not Installed and NEED_MIGRATE_SETTING</Condition>
</Control>
I'd like to see the checkbox shows if the condition is true, but not show if
it's false. But the result is, no matter what, the checkbox always shows up.
What's wrong?
Thanks.
