[WiX-users] User Interface Help Needed On Displaying A Custom DIalog

Wix V3

I am attempting to insert a very simple dialog between the "WelcomeDlg" and
the "LicenseAgreementDlg" pages.

I am attempting to wire up the dialogs, such that

WelcomeDlg-->Next Button-->HelloWorldDlg
HelloWorldDlg-->Back Button--> WelcomeDlg
HelloWorld-->Next Button-->LicenseAgreementDlg
LicenseAgreementDlg-->Back Button-->HelloWorld

If do
<Show Dialog="HelloWorld" After="CostFinalize" />

The dialog sequence is ::

HelloWorldDlg immediately appears
HelloWorld-->Next == LicenseAgreement
LicenseAgreement-->Back == WelcomeDlg ...hmmmm
..after this WelcomeDlg-->Next skips my HelloWorldDlg

If i restart MSI and do
HelloWorld-->Back == WelcomDlg
WelcomeDlg-->Next == LicenseAgreement .. skipping my HelloWorldDlg

Once i leave the HelloWorldDlg, i can never get back to it via the next or
back buttons on the dialogs "either-side-of-it".

If do <Show Dialog="HelloWorld" After="WelcomeDlg" /> ..my HelloWorld
dialog never displays.

Can somebody clean this confusion up for me.

Thanks in advance

This is my simple test dialog .. xml ::

<UIRef Id="WixUI_Mondo"/>
<UIRef Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText" />
<UI>
<Dialog Width="370" Height="270" Id="HelloWorld">
<Control Type="Text" Width="50" Height="17" X="150" Y="116" Id="Hello"
TabSkip="no">
<Text>Hello World</Text>
</Control>
<Control Id="Back" Type="PushButton" X="180" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17"
Text="&Back">
</Control>
<Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17"
Default="yes" Text="&Next">
</Control>
</Dialog>
<Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="HelloWorld">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="HelloWorld" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="WelcomeDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="HelloWorld" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="LicenseAgreementDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="LicenseAgreementDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="HelloWorld">1</Publish>
<AdminUISequence />
<InstallUISequence>
<Show Dialog="HelloWorld" After="WelcomeDlg" /> 
</InstallUISequence>
</UI>

Hi,

Post by Scullum
I am attempting to insert a very simple dialog between the "WelcomeDlg" and
the "LicenseAgreementDlg" pages.

Have you checked wixwiki.com, in particular this page:

http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=WixUI_Custom

It shows how to insert a custom dialog into WixUI_InstallDir sequence.
I used this example to do just that and everything seems to work ok.
Also note that the code looks quite a bit different compared yours
(e.g., there is no use for the Show element).

hth,
-boris

That requires publishing control events for the WelcomeDlg's Next button
and LicenseAgreementDlg's Back button. Once the "wizard" starts, the UI
sequence is suspended so you can't insert or remove dialogs via
InstallUISequence. You'll need to replace WixUI_Mondo -- you're adding
additional control events to the ones that WixUI_Mondo already
publishes. There's no way to override them at present.

Thanks for the link to the wiki <A
href="http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=WixUI_Custom">http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=WixUI_Custom</A>
very useful
But i am still confused, my end goal is to provide a dialog allowing the
user to select the website to install to, much like the websetup installer
created by visual studio.
The chm manual states ::
  You could insert a dialog between WelcomeDlg and
LicenseAgreementDlg by changing the control events for the Back and Next
buttons of the dialogs before and after the one you want to add. For
example:   <Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next"
Event="NewDialog" Value="SpecialDlg">1</Publish>  
<Publish Dialog="SpecialDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="WelcomeDlg">1</Publish>   <Publish
Dialog="SpecialDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="LicenseAgreementDlg">1</Publish>   <Publish
Dialog="LicenseAgreementDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="SpecialDlg">1</Publish>   <Publish
Dialog="LicenseAgreementDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="InstallDirDlg">LicenseAccepted = "1"</Publish>
 
Creating a simple dialog and using this example, pasting it into my WIX
file gives me an error 
Error LGHT0204: ICE17: PushButton: 'Next' of Dialog: 'InstallDirDlg' does
not have an event defined in the ControlEvent table. It is a 'Do Nothing'
button. Error LGHT0204: ICE17: PushButton: 'Back' of Dialog:
'InstallDirDlg' does not have an event defined in the ControlEvent table. It
is a 'Do Nothing' button. Error LGHT0204: ICE17: PushButton:
'ChangeFolder' of Dialog: 'InstallDirDlg' does not have an event defined in
the ControlEvent table. It is a 'Do Nothing' button.
Firstly i understand that with a WixUI_Mondo UI, LicenseAgreementDlg next
button should wire up to custom install dialog.  But i do not know
the names of all the dialogs, what would this be called.  Is there a of
the dialog names somewhere, i have looked in the user guide and the wiki but
have not found anything of relevance
Secondly assuming the custom install dialog is called 'CustomInstallDlg'
would this be sufficient to display my dialog within the
sequence?      <Publish
Dialog="LicenseAgreementDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="CustomInstallDlg">LicenseAccepted = "1"</Publish>
Have i missed something very fundemental here.
Thanks for all your continued support/help sofar

There's no such list. If you're customizing the UI, it's assumed you're
also looking at the source code in src/ext/UIExtension/wixlib.

Sorry for being such an idiot.  I dont know how i missed this in the
wiki.. much appreciated. So basically,  I have to recompile the
entire UIExtension.dll with my necessary dialogs inside; not too much
of a problem.  As an aside has anyone already created a new
UIExtension with IIS settings akin to the freebie websetup installer you get
with VS. Wishfully thinking that maybe some internal microsoft
product uses this and may release the dialog code as a starting
point Thanks for all the help thus
far

I don't believe that you have to recompile the UIExtension.dll to achieve
what you want. If you take a look at
http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=WixUI_Custom you'll notice that they
have a <UIRef /> tag that references the common dialogs. Then underneath in
their <UI /> tag is where they basically define the same sequence that the
WixUI_InstallDir.wxs defines (found in the src/ext/UIExtension/wixlib
directory), and then adds the appropriate tags in there for the
LicenseKeyDlg that they also define in there. This would be defined in your
main .wxs file I believe. Then you just candle / light it and you should be
good to go. You don't need to recompile the UIExtension.dll.

No. As WiX.chm says:

You don't need to rebuild WixUIExtension to customize the WixUI dialog
sets. Compile your dialog fragment and your custom set fragment with the
rest of your setup project. Continue using WixUIExtension so your
fragments can find the stock dialog fragments.

Levi, thanks for this information, i think the penny has finally
dropped.  There is no need to recompile anything, just cut and paste
xml.
Using the Wiki example <A
href="http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=WixUI_Custom">http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=WixUI_Custom</A>
as base i have been able to successfully insert the license key
dialog.
For other people who are stuggling, here is how i did it
To insert the license key dialog described in the <A
href="http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=WixUI_Custom">http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=WixUI_Custom</A>
into the WixUI_Mondo sequence...
1) Download the WIX source package 2) Extract the package
and browse to the {sourcedir}\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib 3) Open the
file WixUI_Mondo.wxs and copy the entire <UI> section from
it 4) Replace the Wiki example <UI> section with the
<UI> section from WixUI_Mondo.wxs 5) Add the new
<dialog> code from the example to <UI> section 6) Rewire
the Next and Back buttons, as per the original example 7)  Re-insert
the template for the license key entry control   
   <Property Id="PIDTemplate" Value="####-####-####-####"
/> 8) No need to recompile the WixUIExtension.dll just use -ext
WixUIExtension.dll as normal
 
 You should end up with something looking similar to this 
         <UIRef Id="WixUI_Common" />
    
<UI Id="WixUI_Mondo">       <Property
Id="PIDTemplate" Value="####-####-####-####" />

don't need to recompile the UIExtension.dll.

idiot.  I dont know how i missed this in the wiki.. much
appreciated. So basically,  I have to recompile the entire
UIExtension.dll with my necessary dialogs inside; not too much of a
problem.  As an aside has anyone already created a new
UIExtension with IIS settings akin to the freebie websetup installer you get
with VS. Wishfully thinking that maybe some internal microsoft
product uses this and may release the dialog code as a starting
point Thanks for all the help thus
far

you can't just override the dialogs you're interested in. You have to
replace WixUI_Mondo, for example, by copying it and updating the
Back/Next control events to refer to your custom
dialog. -- sig://boB <A onclick="return
