Is it possible to disable /enable controls on a dialog (created in the dialog editor) using InstallScript.

I have an installscript CA which calls a dll to check a key code it, if it returns success I want to enable the next button

In a nutshell replicate the behaviour->Conditions with installscript.

Dave,
If you just want to enable/disable next buttons subject to a success try enable(NEXTBUTTON) encompassed by an if stmnt.

Thanks Ciaran,
 Unfortunately I just tested this without success.  

Created a new project with an installscript CA contain "Disable (NEXTBUTTON)" (obviously declared correctly.)  And stook the CA on CustomInformation dialog the CA was launched but the Next button remained enabled.

I have used "Disable (NEXTBUTTON)" with IS5.5 and script defined dialogs, so I know it works with this sort, but I am just having difficulty controlling dialogs created with the dialog editor. Is there some sort of interface access?

Again Thanks for your help,
Dave.

Try setting the condition in the ControlCondition table in direct editor.

Dialog - <Your_Dialog_Name>
Control - <Your_Control_Name>
Event - Enable/Diable
Condition - <Your_Condition>

Hi,
You can disable /enable buttons in dialog view of ISWI IDE. Go in to behavior mod, select control you want to disable/enable, you have 3 view in , press condition tab. set condition using any property value and you will be fine.

best of luck..
