How to conditionally Enable/disable the next Button in Setup

Question

hi
i created one setup using C# setup project ,
i want to disable the next button  in Setup when textbox is blank and enable it when user enter value in textbox

can anyone tell how could i do this operation??

Answer 1

VS setup projects don't have this capability - there's no IDE support for editing the UI events. This is difficult without IDE support - you'd have to edit the ControlEvent table in the MSI file (using Orca) to run code when the text box is valid, or use another setup tool.

That's really beyond the scope of this forum, but there is no simple answer because of all the details of the UI-related tables.

Actually, I misspoke it's the ControlCondition table that needs updating with a Disable based on the value of your edit box - it looks like you figured that out, but what've got there looks like it should work.

Hi...

In My orca editor i specified the control condition  which i specified in my last post..

When i check with Dialog preview,that particular dialog box's Next button is going to inactive state...

But these changes is not yet refelected in my UI wizard .. For that what should i do?

Can you help me for further move?
