Instantiating the ListView is easy
<Control Id="ListView1" Property="ListViewProperty" Type="ListView"
X="SomeX" Y="WhyNot?" Width="wide" Height="short" Sorted="yes">
<ListView Property="ListViewProperty">
<!-- If we will be populating this dynamically nothing to put here..
-->
</ListView>
</Control>
<EnsureTable Id="ListView" />
We use the EnsureTable since otherwise it might not be included in the MSI
if it doesn't contain anything... but we need it to exist so that we can
update it dynamically later.
Might not actually be needed (since it's referenced with the Control), but
it doesn't hurt to include it.
Then the custom action would be something like... (in C# because it's my
current favourite language)
... do stuff to get the thingsYouWant
Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.View lView =
session.Database.OpenView("SELECT * FROM ListView");
lView.Execute();
int iOrder = 1;
foreach(Thing thing in thingsYouWant)
{
try
{
Record lRecord = session.Database.CreateRecord(5);
lRecord.SetString(1, "ListViewProperty");
lRecord.SetInteger(2, iOrder);
lRecord.SetString(3, thing.HashCode()); // we use the hashcode, because
then we can easily find what they selected... use something else if it's
more appropriate
lRecord.SetString(4, thing. ToString()); // or thing.Name + " - " +
thing.No + " - " + thing.pincode
// lRecord.SetXXX(5) we leave this as null, unless we have put some
icons into the binary table.. then we would populate this with the binary
table identifier
iOrder++;
lView.Modify(ViewModifyMode.InsertTemporary, lRecord);
}
catch
{
continue;
}
}
This is how to add items to the ListView controls dynamically.
Hopefully it's helpful for someone...
