Thanks Jacob, had tried 'lengthening' entries in the menu to rule that out, but apparently I must not have gone wide enough. Windows is indeed the culprit - once you are too wide, it displays both Name & Description in two lines for some silly reason. Still wish that WIX would give me a warni

Is it that you are shortening it or that Name != Description. Wix only makes MSI easier. MSI only creates the shortcuts, Windows is responsible for displaying the shortcuts (and their descriptions). I suspect you'd see the same behavior if you created the shortcuts manually in your start menu.

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 -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Custom-Dialog-box-edit-controls-and-setting-Alt-h

Are you using Burn to deploy your install? If so it seems like you'd want to create a patch for your A install and distribute it with the B bundle. Even if the feature isn't currently selected, the patch would update it such that if they went to modify A and chose to add the feature that it wou

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

2014-07-18 Thread 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 t

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. -Original Message- From: TimM [mailto:timmay...@smarttech.com] Sent: Friday, July 18, 2014

This could be a simple question, but at the moment I just can not see it... For push buttons and check boxes we just add the & in front of the character that we want set for controls Alt hotkey, but if you have Edit and MaskedEdit controls how do you set it's controls Alt hotkey? Thanks. -- Vi
