Select all events of UI element via CTRL+A

Hi, I am missing the functionality to select all events/actions of an UI element by pressing CTRL+A in the "Dialogs" view when looking at "Init Events"/"Published Events"/"Subscribed Events"/"Control Conditions". I currently have to left click on the first event, then hold shift, then click on the l...

Re: Display a specific dialog depending on property

I have discussed this with the developer and it looks like the request to implement this is not quite possible. I'm sorry I wasn't being clear enough. Hello Catalin, I understand, that is very unfortunate. It would have made navigating between a lot of dialogs a lot easier for me. Nevertheless, tha...

Hello Catalin,

That is why I created a feature request. It would be great to be able to set the argument to the value of a property.

Best regards,

Re: SQL custom action - reassign SQL command

Hello Catalin, Of course, I'll try to explain it with more screenshots. 1. Add a Query SQL database for data custom action X. sql_reassign_1.png 2. Choose SQL query (a SQL query has to be created beforehand of course). sql_reassign_2.png 3. Select another custom action, then select X again. Now try ...

Re: Display a specific dialog depending on property

Hello Catalin, I think you misunderstood my question here. To clarify: I want to set the Argument via Powershell, therefore which dialog is shown when the custom action is executed. I do NOT want to set the Condition via Powershell, which decides if the custom is executed or not. Is this possible so...

Re: Custom Action filtering

Hello Catalin,

That's exactly what I meant. That would be great!

Re: Why can't I move this resource to a new component?

In the meantime, I think I managed to find a workaround for this so you can create a new component for your XML file. First of all, add your XML file in a separate folder. Then open the Advanced Installer project, go to "Files and Folders" page --> synchronize the folder with the folder on the disk...

SQL custom action - reassign SQL command

Hi, When I add a 'Query SQL database for data' custom action, I can choose which SQL query is executed by setting the 'Execute SQL query: Choose SQL query'. It would be great if this could be reassigned later on. Right now, after assigning the SQL query for the new custom action, then selecting anot...

Custom Action filtering

Hi,

It would be great if the list of custom actions is filterable. The Properties view for example offers simple but effective filter functionality where I just start typing and everything that does not match my filter query is hidden.

Best regards,

Re: Skip multiple dialogs based on conditions

Hello Liviu, I'm afraid you cannot control the dialogs from custom actions. The only thing you can do to condition a dialog using a PowerShell script will be to return a property and, based on that property, skip or not the dialog using the Published Events tab (Display a specific dialog event). Tha...

Display a specific dialog depending on property

Hi, It would be great to have a modification of the existing "Display a specific dialog" event ("Display a specific dialog depending on property") where we can set the "Argument" using a property. This would allow us to use e.g. a PowerShell script (or one of the many other possibilities) to set a p...

Execute PowerShell script before executing search

Hi, In order to read and update the values of a given XML file, we want to use this feature that you offer, which is quite neat: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-import-edit-xml-file.html But our problem is that we have a malformed XML file (multiple root nodes).

Re: Best practice - installer for multiple products

Hi Catalin, Thanks for the reply here. We decided against the Save As Template due to the reasoning in 1) from my previous post. It is just not a feasible option if most of the UI dialogs that are used from the different installers are basically the same and thus "shared" between the products. We do...

Skip multiple dialogs based on conditions

Hi, I want to use a PowerShell script to decide to which dialog the Next-button on a dialog goes forward to. I essentially want to skip specific dialogs when certain criteria's are fulfilled . My problem now is that depending on the conditions I want to skip either dialog X, Y, and Z, two of them, o...
