Hi -
I am relatively new to java and ISMP.
I have created a custom action wizard to backup certain files before installing new ones [retro-fitting a product].  During my backup process I have a long wait with a blank panel.  I would like the info from the previous Install Preview panel to remain.  Is that possible?  or  How do I write to the panel from an action wizard?  I haven't figured that out.
Any HELP is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello -

I thought I would look in the InstallShield Knowledge Base again and found the following document
ID: Q105208  dated June 13, 2001.
It does not explain keeping data on the panel fom a previous wizard, but it explains how to get my product action to control the progress bar.

I did not see this document when I searched before.  I hope it helps someome else too!

Thanks,

Sorry Gang -

This is not a solution to my problem!!!  I am using WizardActions and this article is about ProductActions.

I still need help if you have an answer.
Thanks,

You can add the following expression to your wizard bean's execute method:

getState().setStatusDescription("Please wait...");
