I'm currently doing a Custom Dialog to handle locked file situation on an InstallScript project. I know there are built-in functions like SdException() to handle this case but this is a requirement to avoid the case where user accidentally chose to ignore the situation.
In summary, I initialize the EzDefineDialog() and then call WaitOnDialog() to display the dialog but it always returns -1.
The following is my code:
prototype NUMBER LockedFile(string /*FilePath*/);
//[[ ID_DATA
#define IDD_VER 300
#define ID_NAME_LOCKED_FILE "LockedFile"
#define ID_TITLE_LOCKED_FILE "Default Dialog Title\nDefault Title message"
#define ID_TEMPLATE_LOCKED_FILE 12345
//]]
//[[ ID_SYMBOLS
#define BT_PostPone 1303
#define BT_Retry 1304
#define BT_Abort 1305
#define IDC_TEXT1_LOCKED_FILE 1301
//]]
function NUMBER LockedFile(szFile /*FilePath*/)
NUMBER nId; // contains the return code of WaitOnDialog
NUMBER nResult; // contains the return code of LockedFile
BOOL bDone; // tells if the dialog is to be closed
INT hwndDlg; // the handle of the dialog itself
STRING szTitle; // dialog's title
STRING szDlg; // the name of the dialog
STRING szMessage; // message to display on dialog
NUMBER nTemplate; // variable to store the template to be used for this dialog
begin
// Specify a name to identify the custom dialog in this installation.
szDlg = ID_NAME_LOCKED_FILE;
nTemplate = ID_TEMPLATE_LOCKED_FILE;
if (EzDefineDialog (szDlg, ISUSER, "", nTemplate) = DLG_ERR) then
MessageBox("Fail to initialize the Locked Dialog for "+szFile, SEVERE);
abort;
endif;
bDone = FALSE;
while (!bDone)
nId = WaitOnDialog(szDlg);
switch (nId)
case DLG_INIT:
// first internal InstallShield intitialise
hwndDlg = CmdGetHwndDlg( szDlg );
SdGeneralInit(szDlg, hwndDlg, 0, "");
case DLG_CLOSE:
// The user clicked the window's Close button.
Do (EXIT);
case DLG_ERR:
MessageBox ("Unable to display dialog. Setup canceled.", SEVERE);
abort;
case BT_PostPone:
// user clicked PostPone button, the operation will be carried out after reboot
bDone = TRUE;
nResult = 1;
case BT_Retry:
// user clicked retry button, retry the operation immediately
bDone = TRUE;
nResult = 2;
case BT_Abort:
// user clicked abort button, abort the installation
bDone = TRUE;
nResult = 3;
default:
// user do something else
bDone = TRUE;
nResult = -1;
endswitch;
endwhile;
EndDialog(szDlg); // Close the dialog box.
ReleaseDialog(szDlg); // Free the dialog box from memory.
return nResult;
end;
I have double checked and make use that the ISResourceID in both Dialogs and Direct Editor to be 12345, which was passed into EzDefineDialog (szDlg, ISUSER, "", nTemplate) as nTemplate. The Dialog name (szDlg) is also double checked.
I want to know where I did wrong. How can I display my Custom Dialog ?
