well I guess I don't think this is a bug... However I did fix the issue. 1. took '.' out of my progress text strings 2. changed balextension DLL (WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.cpp) in method: OnExecuteMsiMessage
from: ThemeSetTextControl(m_pTheme, WIXSTDBA_CONTROL_EXECUTE_PROGRESS_ACTIONDATA_TEXT, wzMessage); to: // Need to trim the action data text CString tempString = wzMessage; size_t strLength = wcslen(tempString); // Find the first '.' size_t strPosition = tempString.Find('.', 0); // Check to see if there is another '.' if (strPosition != -1) { size_t nextPosition = tempString.Find('.', strPosition + 1); if (nextPosition != -1) { strPosition = nextPosition; } } // Need to add + 2 for position since it will still show the '. ' CString trimString = tempString.Right(strLength - (strPosition + 2)); ThemeSetTextControl(m_pTheme, WIXSTDBA_CONTROL_EXECUTE_PROGRESS_ACTIONDATA_TEXT, trimString); the return is sill using wzMessage... I am only changing the string in the control. works like a charm... :) Steve -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/displaying-action-data-text-in-ExecuteProgressActionDataText-tp7592731p7593225.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subversion Kills Productivity.
