While reading source code for WiX Extended Bootstrapper Application, I'm wondering if I want to replace this Theme manipulation (xml based) with Win-Forms or MFC based UI, do I have to modify/rewrite all that or I can simply use references of some library, just as in case of Managed Bootstrapper, where we are using BootstrapperCore.dll??

wixstdba is mainly integrated with XML based Themes which it is managing in different events: For Example in CWixStandardBootstrapperApplication::OnCacheAcquireProgress(), there are method calls like ThemeSetTextControl() or ThemeSetProgressControl().

Is there any good guide/Tutorial/Example for using Win-Forms or MFC based UI?

  • Thanks Morten. I'm aware of this. And I've already developed a Managed Bootstrapper with WPF UI. But I'm curious to know if we can integrate MFC or Winforms: as this has no or very least pre-requisite. WPF needs .Net framework 4. – Farrukh Waheed Nov 06 '14 at 04:07
