You have to do this with a custom action. I've done this in C++, I am
sure it's a little easier with DTF (C#).
Get the database via MsiGetActiveDatabase()
MsiDatabaseOpenView of SELECT * FROM ComboBox` WHERE
`Property`='PROPERTY_ATTACHED_TO_COMBOBOX'
For each record you want to insert do something like this:
// the first record is inserted at index 2, there's at least one
default item in the view
MsiHandle hRec(MsiCreateRecord(4));
CHECK_WIN32_DWORD(MsiRecordSetString(hRec, 1, listbox.c_str()),
L"MsiRecordSetString(1) failed"); // Column1:
Property tied to the entry
CHECK_WIN32_DWORD(MsiRecordSetInteger(hRec, 2, insert_index),
"MsiRecordSetInteger(2) failed"); // Column2:
Display order of the item
CHECK_WIN32_DWORD(MsiRecordSetString(hRec, 3, name.c_str()),
"MsiRecordSetString(3) failed"); //Column3:
Value to set property to
CHECK_WIN32_DWORD(MsiRecordSetString(hRec, 4, name.c_str()),
L"MsiRecordSetString(4) failed"); //Column4:
Display text for item
CHECK_WIN32_DWORD(MsiViewModify(msiView,
MSIMODIFY_INSERT_TEMPORARY, hRec),
"MsiViewModify failed");
insert_index ++;
I've attached our code that uses DMO to populate a dropdown of SQL
servers.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
dB.
