On all my Bootstrappers I added the Action Text text control. BUT it was
putting a lot of garbage in front of the Action Text...
i.e. Action <time> <function name> <if merge module action text, GUID> Action
Text
I ended up changing a few things:
1. took '.' out of my progress text strings 2. changed balextension DLL
(WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.cpp) in method:
OnExecuteMsiMessage
from:
ThemeSetTextControl(m_pTheme,
WIXSTDBA_CONTROL_EXECUTE_PROGRESS_ACTIONDATA_TEXT, wzMessage);
to:
// Need to trim the action data text
CString tempString = wzMessage;
size_t strLength = wcslen(tempString);
// Find the first '.'
size_t strPosition = tempString.Find('.', 0);
// Check to see if there is another '.'
if (strPosition != -1)
{
size_t nextPosition = tempString.Find('.', strPosition + 1);
if (nextPosition != -1)
{
strPosition = nextPosition;
}
}
// Need to add + 2 for position since it will still show the '. '
CString trimString = tempString.Right(strLength - (strPosition +
2));
ThemeSetTextControl(m_pTheme,
WIXSTDBA_CONTROL_EXECUTE_PROGRESS_ACTIONDATA_TEXT, trimString);
the return is still using wzMessage... I am only changing the string in the
control.
works like a charm... :) If I used std::string the project wouldn't compile...

Other than increasing the size of your binaries I don't see much of an issue.
Why do you need CString specifically?

Is it a big deal if I statically link MFC with the burn solution?
I am using CString string methods in the BA Extension DLL (not all of WIX just
the Burn.sln)
