Hi Christopher
I currently have the action scheduled after "CreateFolders". I use the CA
almost like a startup-condition. There may also be other places where i intend
to show a messagebox, but this is not defined yet.
I hoped it would be something rather simple, either a flag or set the focus of
the WindowsForms message box. I fear the solution may be a little more
complicated.
Greetings

Betreff: Re: [WiX-users] Messagebox from custom action with a lot of text
Where is this custom action scheduled? I usually have a reusable dialog that
contains an error property and then have my CA set the property and return.
ControlEvents then detect the error property has data and do a SpawnDialog on
the generic error dialog and gate transition to the next dialog.

Subject: [WiX-users] Messagebox from custom action with a lot of text
Hi
In our wix installer a C# custom action, needs to pop up a window to show a
message that might be quite long.
I currently do it the following way:
public void ShowWarningMessageBox(string pMessage)
{
Record record = new Record();
record.FormatString = pMessage;
Session.Message(InstallMessage.Error |
(InstallMessage)System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon.Warning |
(InstallMessage)System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.OK, record);
Unfortunately, longer messages are not fully shown, only parts of it. Is there a
way to ensure that the entire text is displayed?
If somehow possible, i would like to stick with the Wix session.Message method,
rather than using windows forms because of the focus. If somebody knows, how to
ensure that the focus is set correctly in a windows forms message box, i would
also happily go with that (preventing displaying a msgbox in silent mode is no
problem as the uilevel property can be checked)
Greetigns and thanks in advance
Dan
