Populate multiple comboBox with same data

Fri Sep 01, 2017 4:35 pm

Hello,

In my installer, I have 3 combo boxes in a dialog. I want to populate all the 3 of them with same data.
Currently, I have a powershell script that collects the data and sets the AI_COMBOBOX_DATA property. It works fine for one, but how can I set all 3 of them?
The script:

Code: Select all

$ListIP="127.0.01|0.0.0.0"

AI_SetMsiProperty AI_COMBOBOX_DATA "CLIENT_IP|$ListIP"
Thank you.

Hello,

I'm sorry for my delayed response.

Our "PopulateCombobox" custom action works in the following way: at the time it is launched it reads the value of the AI_POPULATE_COMBOBOX property and populates the combobox whose property is specified in the value.

To implement your scenario you have to create three different scripts - one for each of your comboboxes and three "PopulateCombobox" custom actions. Then you need to launch them in the following sequence:

Code: Select all

Script1
PopulateCombobox1
Script2
PopulateCombobox2
Script3
PopulateCombobox3
