Subject: Fw: [WiX-users] Custom WiX Dialog Issues->Getting folder
Hey Chad,
This is close to what I was trying to get at. I'm very green in Wix,
only the basics are in my toolbet at the moment :(
The folder I want the user to chose could be anywhere. Network drive,
ramdrive, etc. It might not have any relationship whatsoever to the
INSTALLDIR where the product will be placed.
That being said, I *thought* I had it all understood in my head, and
that simply setting the _BrowseProperty value to my own custom property
(as the example shows, "DataStoragePath" is the name of my property). It
does not appear to be populating at all.
So when I click on the Browse... button on my specialized form, and
click OK on the BrowseDlg, my Text control on my specialized form is not
being updated appropriately. Nor is the property (DataStoragePath)
being updated at all in preparation for its use in my CustomAction that
is scheduled for execution after installing of my actual files.
Sorry for not being more clear in my original post. I do appreciate the
assistance.
Regards,
Stephen Tunney

Hello all,
I am trying to get back the value from the BrowseDlg (standard one in
the wixui) to do the following:
1) Display in a Text control
2) Be used in a custom action at the end of the installation process
(After="StartServices")
Here is my custom dialog, I already have it in the sequence, and that
part is working well, I just can't get the value back. Do I need to
make my own custom BrowseDlg with new event names or something?
Many thanks,
Stephen

I think I know what you're getting at here. Say you click on the Browse
button and change the path, you want that path to show up in another
dialog
later on in the UI sequence?
If that is the case, I found something kind of nifty.
<Publish Dialog="CustomizeDlg" Control="Next" Order="3"
Property="WixUI_BrowseTracePath"
Value="[MsiSelectionTreeSelectedPath][PRODUCTFOLDER]\Logs">
The way it works is, in the CustomizeDlg I set the INSTALLDIR after
being
redirected to the BrowseDlg. [MsiSelectionTreeSelectedPath] holds that
value (I've never seen this property before, but noticed it getting set
to
what I wanted when parsing through some logs from my install), then I
appended some stuff onto the end of the path. So, I wanted to use that
new
path in a tracing dialog I set up that makes use of the Property
"WixUI_BrowseTracePath". I believe you can do the same thing w/ the
property you want set in your dialog.
Hope this can help you.
