Category: compiler Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: lewis (lewis_rfl) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Dialog subclassing Initial Comment: Right now - if I understand correctly, if I wish to modify a dialog from the WIX UI dialogs - I must copy and paste that dialog from the project sources into my .wix file, and modify as desired. This style of programming is fragile, as you folks are likely to want to make future changes to those dialogs. The simple workaround for this would be a very simple feature addition (which Bob Arnson pointed out in email to me was similar to what you already do for "floating" Publish elements) - which allows you to define a dialog as 'BASED ON' another, and with 'control eleemnts' etc - getting extra attributes like 'insertAfter' or 'replaces' , or 'deletes' - so that you can add elements, delete elements or replace any element of the dialog, and still inherit future changes to the rest of the dialog. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: kamol (kmierzejewski) Date: 2007-12-17 11:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1961683 Originator: NO In XUL there are <overlay> elements that have the desired behavior. WiX could implement UI customization using the same approach ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642717&aid=1847286&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
