Re: [WiX-users] Conditionally Show Dialog Button based on Installer action (installed vs. removed v

You have to specify what action the condition will invoke. In this case, I
would assume you would use Action="hide" in your Condition element under
your control.

        <Control Id="ApplicationSettings" Type="PushButton" X="94" Y="243"
Width="130" Height="17" Default="no" Cancel="no" Text="Modify Application
Settings" ><Condition Action="hide">REMOVE=ALL</Condition></Control>

Here's MyExitDialog:

================
<Dialog Id="MyExitDialog" Width="370" Height="270"
Title="!(loc.ExitDialog_Title)">
        <Control Id="Finish" Type="PushButton" X="224" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Default="yes" Cancel="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUIFinish)" />
        <!-- The following Control allows us to go beyond finish to do some
settings modifications -->
        <Control Id="ApplicationSettings" Type="PushButton" X="94" Y="243"
Width="130" Height="17" Default="no" Cancel="no" Text="Modify Application
Settings" ></Control>
        <Control Id="Cancel" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Disabled="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUICancel)" />
        <Control Id="Bitmap" Type="Bitmap" X="0" Y="0" Width="370"
Height="234" TabSkip="no" Text="!(loc.ExitDialogBitmap)" />
        <!-- <Control Id="Back" Type="PushButton" X="224" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Disabled="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUIBack)" /> -->
        <Control Id="BottomLine" Type="Line" X="0" Y="234" Width="370"
Height="0" />
        <Control Id="Description" Type="Text" X="135" Y="70" Width="220"
Height="40" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes" Text=" Click the Finish button
to exit the Setup Wizard. Alternatively, Click the Modify Application
Settings button to alter the behavior of the application." />
        <Control Id="Title" Type="Text" X="135" Y="20" Width="220"
Height="60" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes" Text="!(loc.ExitDialogTitle)"
/>
        <Control Id="OptionalText" Type="Text" X="135" Y="110" Width="220"
Height="80" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes" Hidden="yes"
Text="[WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALTEXT]">
          <Condition Action="show">WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALTEXT AND NOT
Installed</Condition>
        </Control>
        <Control Id="OptionalCheckBox" Type="CheckBox" X="135" Y="190"
Width="220" Height="40" Hidden="yes"
Property="WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOX" CheckBoxValue="1"
Text="[WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOXTEXT]">
          <Condition Action="show">WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOXTEXT AND
NOT Installed</Condition>
        </Control>
      </Dialog>
================

If I try to put a conditional in the Control element, I get WIX compile
errors... How do you control the display of a button in a dialog
conditionally?
