Hi Scott, I had faced the same problem earlier...I implemented "Twin Dialog technique". Create a dialog similar to Dialog2, say TwinDialog3(UI should look same)...
Example: <Publish Dialog="Dialog1" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="Dialog2" Order="1"/> <Publish Dialog="Dialog1" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="TwinDialog2" Order="1"/> <Publish Dialog="Dialog2" Control="GetListBtn" Event="DoAction" Value="NameOfCA" Order="1"> <Publish Dialog="TwinDialog2" Control="GetListBtn" Event="DoAction" Value="NameOfCA" Order="1"> Make sure you replicate the UI as well as the events published for Dialog2, even for TwinDialog2... This definitely worked for me...

Subject: [WiX-users] refresh combobox without leaving dialog Is this possible? If so how do I do it? This is what I'm trying to accomplish. I have two dialogs, dialog1 and dialog2. Dialog1 contains an edit box. When the use hits the next button a custom action is run that gets a list of items from the server named in the edit box. Dialog2 has two combo boxes. The first combobox contains the list retrieved in the custom action that was ran after hitting next from dialog1. When the user selects and item from combobox1 a custom action is ran that gets another list from the server based off of the value selected in the first combobox. At this point I would like the second combo box to contain the new list. If I leave the dialog and come back the list show properly, but I need it to show without leaving the dialog. I really don't want to separate the two combo boxes to different dialogs. Is there any way to make this work? I thought I have seen this in other installers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
