Hi All,
Finally i have done this as well, Nothing really big in order to deal with
this problem, Wix uses Localization file in order to display the text on
SelectionSize Event, if you open the WixUI_en-us.wxl you will see the
following string for this purpose and display the information.
<String Id="UITextSelChildCostPos" Overridable="yes">This feature
requires [1] on your hard drive.</String>
<String Id="UITextSelParentCostPosPos" Overridable="yes">This feature
requires [1] on your hard drive. It has [2] of [3] subfeatures selected. The
subfeatures require [4] on your hard drive.</String>
<String Id="UITextSelChildCostNeg" Overridable="yes">This feature frees
up [1] on your hard drive.</String>
<String Id="UITextSelParentCostPosNeg" Overridable="yes">This feature
requires [1] on your hard drive. It has [2] of [3] subfeatures selected. The
subfeatures free up [4] on your hard drive.</String>
<String Id="UITextSelParentCostNegPos" Overridable="yes">This feature
frees up [1] on your hard drive. It has [2] of [3] subfeatures selected. The
subfeatures require [4] on your hard drive.</String>
<String Id="UITextSelParentCostNegNeg" Overridable="yes">This feature
frees up [1] on your hard drive. It has [2] of [3] subfeatures selected. The
subfeatures free up [4] on your hard drive.</String>
So in order to display the Parent Total rather then the current solected
total and sub features. I changed the following Strind Id`s in a following
way.
<String Id="UITextSelChildCostPos" Overridable="yes">This feature requires
[1] on your hard drive.</String>
<String Id="UITextSelParentCostPosPos" Overridable="yes">This feature
requires [4] on your hard drive. It has [2] of [3] subfeatures
selected.</String>
So now it shows the Total of the Child Features on selection of the parent
features, which in my case is perfect because i dont have any components in
my parent features anyways.
SO All you need to do is to Add Wxl (localization file) and override only
these string id`s and compile and Bee Happy
:D
Thanks
