RE: [WiX-users] Feedback on wixui libraries

1. This will be available (hopefully in the next drop) via localization
support (rather than properties)
2. You can do this now by having a Bitmaps directory.
3. This is a problem, definitely. Depending on where you need to insert a
page, it's easy or annoying. I have a sample ready for the next drop that
should clarify things a bit. (It requires the NAnt build changes, otherwise
I'd post it.)
4. That's a bug. I posted the fix to the list the middle of September:
 
The problem is a typo in wixui.mak. If you want to build a corrected version
yourself, change
 
WIXUI_MINMAL_OBJ_FILES=\
 
to
 
WIXUI_MINIMAL_OBJ_FILES=\

Subject: [WiX-users] Feedback on wixui libraries


First impressions about wixui_*:
 
Amazing work. WiX is 100 times better when we have a consistent UI system
that we can easily consume.
 
However, It still needs some work to be really usable by newbies. 
 
1. I should be able to replace the text labels by setting a property.
2. I should be able to replace the images by replacing a graphic (this is
close but not perfect).
3. I should easily be able to insert my own dialog pages.
4. I couldn't figure out how to get wixui_minimal to work. The UIRef element
that works with the other two doesn't work with minimal.
 
Also, I want to say thanks for everyone on this list for their help this
week. In just a few days I've gone from nothing to something very good. Much
appreciated.
