Since the Text attribute does not accept properties I was hoping to use a Custom Action to adjust the text based on the value of a bunch of public properties. I was looking through the Wix Tutorial(http://www.tramontana.co.hu) and found a Custom Action that was changing some Text of a ListBox(http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson10.php).
Right now I'm starting simple. I was just trying to figure out how to set the Text attribute of the ScrollableText Control with WcaAddTempRecord() instead of a ListBox like in lesson 10. Is it possible to use WcaAddTempRecord() to change the Text attribute? If so, then how? If not, then are there any alternatives? I am using Wix 2.0 and I linked the DLL I made with the WiX *.lib files and the msi.lib file Here is my broken code: extern "C" UINT __stdcall FillListbox (MSIHANDLE hInstall) { HRESULT hResult = WcaInitialize (hInstall, "testText"); if (FAILED (hResult)) return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE; MSIHANDLE hTable = NULL; MSIHANDLE hColumns = NULL; hResult = WcaAddTempRecord (&hTable, &hColumns, L"ScrollableText", 0, 2, L"{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}} \viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 My Text\par}"); if (hTable) MsiCloseHandle (hTable); if (hColumns) MsiCloseHandle (hColumns); return WcaFinalize (hResult); } and here is my Dialog from my .wxs file: ... <UI> <Dialog Id="WelcomeDialog" Width="370" Height="270" Title="[ProductName] [Setup]" NoMinimize="yes"> <Control Id="Exit" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Disabled="no" Default="yes" Text="Exit"> <Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Exit" >1</Publish> </Control> <Control Id="FilledListbox" Type="ListBox" Sorted="yes" Property="LISTBOXVALUES" X="10" Y="50" Width="200" Height="130" /> <Control Id="testText" Type="ScrollableText" Text="1" X="10" Y="10" Sunken ="yes" Disabled="no" Width="300" Height="200"> </Control> </Dialog> </UI> ... and here is the error i recieved in the log file: testText: Error 0x8007064f: failed to open view on database testText: Error 0x8007064f: failed to openexecute temp view with query SELECT * FROM `ScrollableText` I appreciate any information you can give me on how to use the WcaAddTempRecord.
