Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX 3.6: How to populdate a Combobox based on the value another Combobox on the same dialogbox?
Windows Installer is quite limited and refreshing/repopulating controls is one of those that all to often doesn't work the way we want. Usually the way this is implemented is to have two paired boxes, where the value(s) in the first box are used in a custom action to populate the second box's content when the user clicks "Next". > From: miaohsi.w...@invensys.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 18:03:00 -0400 > Subject: [WiX-users] WiX 3.6: How to populdate a Combobox based on the value > another Combobox on the same dialogbox? > > Hello Everyone, > > I am trying to create a dialog box that has two combo boxes and the list > items of the second combo box depends on the value of the first one.
