My custom action runs the InstallShield script and I use some InstallShield built in dialogs in the Script.  The problem is that the "Back" button on the dialog could not go back to the previous dialog in the UI sequence.   Does anyone know how to let CA go back to the previous dialog?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jia,
 Is your CA in the middle of the User Interface sequence? If so, set the "Back" button of the first dialog you display from your CA to launch a NewDialog event for the dialog in the User Interface that you want to go back to.

But I am using the Script built-in dialog.  The "Back" button can not be seen in the UI sequence.   The function just returns a predefined value if the user clicks the button.    I know how to launch a event in the UI sequence.  But, Do you have a way to launch a NewDialog event in the script?  So, the problem is how to launch a dialog from the script.
Thanks,

Just follow up my post. I found MsiDoAction could launch any action or dialog from script.
