Final Re-cap dialog

Hello, I'm running the latest enterprise edition of advanced installer and i would like to create a dialog that shows all the features that will be installed but in a non editable fashion. I customize the feature selection through several dialogs and just want one final screen to tell the user what they will be installing but do not allow them to edit it. I have several properties that determine the final install parameters.

What is the best way to approach this? I see the tree and text options in the toolbox, but i am unsure on how to fill them with the final feature set in a viewable, yet not editable way.

Re: Final Re-cap dialog

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

You can set the Enabled attribute to false for a control that you don't want to be editable . By default, the control is enabled. For details, please check the Properties Page article.

Please let me know if that helped, otherwise you can give us more details about your scenario.

Best regards,
Dan

I have tried that on the tree control, my problem is that setting enabled to false on the quick selection tree disables the scroll as well and my feature list is long enough that it requires scrolling

Hi,

In this case, you can get the features scheduled for installation and display them in another installer control (e.g. ListBox). For details, please take a look on the Working with Windows Installer ComboBox and ListBox controls article which may be useful to you.

You can use either Session.FeatureCurrentState property or the Session.FeatureRequestState property, depending your specific scenario.

You can also take a look on the Bind list of printers article which may be useful to you.

Should there be any difficulty you encounter implementing something, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will gladly assist.

Best regards,
Dan

The bind list of printers link got me on the right path, was able to create a nice list using a custom action.

Thanks!
