Hi All,
I'm trying to implement msi UI in WIX and have some questions.
My first question:
I have three dialogs which have the same edit boxes (5 edit boxes), but
values should end-up in different properties, what is the best approach?
Should I create three separate dialogs which will be different only in
names of properties and some dialog description and title? Should it be
one dialog, which will have Indirect set to yes?
Second question:
I have some custom dialogs which should be shown only in case if some
specific feature (features) is selected, so currently I was thinking
only about next possible solution:
<Publish Dialog="Dlg1" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="CustomizeDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg1" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dlg2"
Order="1"> !Feature1 = 2 AND &Feature1 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg1" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dlg3"
Order="2"> !Feature2 = 2 AND &Feature2 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg1" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dlg4"
Order="3"> !Feature3 = 2 AND &Feature3 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg1" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="VerifyReadyDlg" Order="4"> 1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg2" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dlg1"
Order="1">!Feature1 = 2 AND &Feature1 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg2" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="CustomizeDlg" Order="2">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg2" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dlg3"
Order="1"> !Feature2 = 2 AND &Feature2 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg2" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dlg4"
Order="2"> !Feature3 = 2 AND &Feature3 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg2" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="VerifyReadyDlg" Order="3"> 1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg3" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dlg2"
Order="1">!Feature1 = 2 AND &Feature1 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg3" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dlg1"
Order="2">!Feature1 = 2 AND &Feature1 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg3" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="CustomizeDlg" Order="3">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg3" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dlg4"
Order="1"> !Feature3 = 2 AND &Feature3 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg3" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="VerifyReadyDlg" Order="2"> 1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg4" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dlg3"
Order="1">!Feature2 = 2 AND &Feature2 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg4" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dlg2"
Order="2">!Feature1 = 2 AND &Feature1 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg4" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dlg1"
Order="3">!Feature1 = 2 AND &Feature1 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg4" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="CustomizeDlg" Order="4">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="Dlg4" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="VerifyReadyDlg" Order="1"> 1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="VerifyReadyDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="Dlg4" Order="1">!Feature3 = 2 AND &Feature3 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="VerifyReadyDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="Dlg3" Order="2">!Feature2 = 2 AND &Feature2 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="VerifyReadyDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="Dlg2" Order="3">!Feature1 = 2 AND &Feature1 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="VerifyReadyDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="Dlg1" Order="4">!Feature1 = 2 AND &Feature1 = 3</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="VerifyReadyDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="CustomizeDlg" Order="5">1</Publish>
It is the small example for 4 dialogs (and this part is only related to
next/back handling base on feature selection, but I also need to call
some custom actions to verify some input information). Currently I have
7 custom dialogs, I still not sure, but most probably all of them will
be based on feature selection, so to add for example one more dialog, I
will need to modify all other dialogs next/back events. Is there central
place, where I can specify condition for showing dialog?
Best Regards,
Igor
