Adding new Dialog to the project

Post by BlackNight »

I have created a new dialog and added it to the project. How do I get it to show up during the install process? Do I have to edit the mia file to get the dialog to show or should it show up once I add it to the project?

Thanks

You need to include code to use it. The simplest way is to decide where in the sequence of dialogs you want it displayed. Then copy a piece of existing code and change it to reference your dialog and take appropriate action to go to the next and previous dialogs, etc.

Dear BlackNight,

In order to add a dialog, you could drag a "Display Dialog" directive found under the "User Interface" section in the MSIcode tab. In the pop-up window, you can select the dialog you wish to display as well as some other parameters.

Good luck,
