ComboBox to select CDROM - default to first entry?

[jafa]

Hi,

I have created a custom dialog with a combo box to allow the user to select which CDROM drive to use (result is stored in an ini file for the installed program).

Using "CDROM Volume" = true correctly lists all the CDROM drives.

Problem - the combo box defaults to nothing selected.
99% of the time there will be only one entry and it will be correct.

How do I get AI to select the first entry when entering the page?

Thanks,

Nick

I'm afraid that this is not supported by Windows Installer. However, it can be done by using a custom action. This custom action will search all the CDROM drives on the machine and set one of them as the value of the property associated with the volume combo box.

Hi,

Is there a built in custom action that will search for CDROM drives?

Hi Nick,

I'm afraid that Advanced Installer doesn't have a built-in custom action for searching the drives. However, you can create your own custom action by using the Drives property of the FileSystemObject. Note that if the DriveType is 4, then the drive is a CDROM.
