Is there a way to access and manipulate the components of a dialog from the script?

For example, enabling, disabling a button depending on other selections on the same dialog.

What I am trying to accomplish on the broader scale is to create a two layer confirmation for the license dialog. I know that this is actually very easy to do using MSI, but my installers are so entrenched in InstallScript already, that it would be a very involved project to migrate over to MSI.

Thanks.

You would have to customize the script that drives the dialog, or create and call your custom script. Note however that in InstallScript you can only intercept a sub-set of winodws messages.

How can I get to the script that controls the dialog to edit it?

Or if I could just intercept the button click messages and subsequently send out an enable/disable button message with out having to alter the dialog script, that would be great.

Thanks.

Previous versions of InstallShield included the default dialog scripts. But I think that's no longer the case so you may have to create the script from scratch (or from a sample)
