We’ve already implemented this functionality
in WiX 3.0 and it’s used in the WiX standard UI library. Take a
look at WixUI_InstallDir.wxs, WixUI_Mondo.wxs, etc… in the WiX 3.0
sources to see how it works. Please note that you do not have to use
Property elements as we do in that code currently – that’s merely
an artifact of the old way of customizing a dialog sequence which will be
cleaned up soon. The trick was to support floating <Publish
/> elements so that you can define the connections between dialogs outside
of the dialog definition itself. Derek From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Martenstein As my team is developing a number of installers for similar
products, we end up reusing a lot of dialogs over and over again. The only
thing that changes from one project to the next is the sequence of which
dialogs we use. So far we have simply been copying a "CommonUI.wxs"
file from project to project, and then making the changes in that file that are
relevant to that particular installer. Is there a way to build a dialog "template"
library that isolates the description of the controls away from the behavior of
those controls? I want to describe how the "Next" button in a dialog
looks in my library, but I want to be able change what it actually points to
from one project to the next. I suppose I am looking for some sort of "ControlRef"
entity that can have "Publish" children entities. If this is not feasible in Wix 2.0, are there any plans to
add something similar to Wix 3.0? Justin Martenstein Harland Financial Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
