Hello.
I'm using InstallShield 12 and I'm working on a InstallScript project which has many features and subfeatures. It's a big list (imagine a list of many fonts which are to be selected by the end-user - just an example). After the SdFeatureTree dialog and before the copy process starts I want to display a summary of selected features. Now, I know it's possible to check if a feature is selected or not (using the FeatureIsItemSelected function) but having many features put's me in difficulty using that function. Isn't there a dynamic way to make a list of selected features and sub-features that I can display using SdShowInfoList?
Please help me on this one, I've searched the forum and did not find relevant information regarding my problem. I also googled and still no answer.

FeatureListItems() generates a list of all sub features for a given feature. You can use this to build a list of all features at runtime.

Thank you for your answer.
FeatureListItems returns only the main tree of features (not including the subfeatures).
I had to build a recursive function that would add all selected features to a list (main tree and sub-trees).
I want to share the code for anyone else will encounter this problem.
This works for as many sub-features as you like. It will add all the selected features to a list.
here it is:
I call this function immediately after the feature tree dialog SdFeatureTree.
Let's say you have a string list called listData that will be displayed before the SdSetupCopy dialog. This list will hold the selected features after calling the function.
