Hi,
I've written something like that. You can get it at
http://madbutcher.dyndns.org/snippets/
Input and suggestions are always welcome :-)
The code is 'as is' and is written as a template for my own development
tools.
The code is free to use for (non) commercial use.
Regards,
Albert van Peppen

Not at the moment. It's been on the feature-request list but nobody's
contributed the code or the UI. I've done most of the rest of WixUI but
don't run into SQL much in my day job, so it'll be a long time before it
bubbles up my personal todo list.
I would prefer not to have to write a custom action if
possible...
One is required.<g>
If not, how would I go about writing an extension to do this,
where are the SDK docs?
You'll need a CA to get the data from SQL and then hook that into a new
dialog. The Windows SDK includes all the MSI SDK doc on CAs; you
shouldn't need a complicated, deferred CA, just an immediate one(s).
WixUI currently doesn't have an easy way to have an extension provide a
new dialog for existing dialog sets; if you get to that point, I'd be
happy to look into ways of providing UI extensions.
