I have an installer setup where I need to navigate to the next dialog via a custom button and without the user having to click 'Next'.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Kathy

Kathy,

Only the "Next" wizard button can navigate to the next wizard dialog.

Just curious, why do you have to do this from a custom button?

That's not good.
I have an initial launcher screen (custom dialog) that has several buttons

1 - to install our product
2 - install a 3rd party product
3 - install another 3rd party product

I need to be able to set the screen immediately to to the next Dialog when the customer clicks on button #1.
This is important to my boss who wants to do it this way. I suggested using a checkbox - but, he does not want this. He feels we should be able to allow the customer to just click the button for the install they want to start and have it do this.

Is there a way to 'fire' the next button programatically?

Or would I have to write one installer script that calls another?

Kathy,

I "think" it is not possible at the moment to 'fire' the next button event programatically. We'll check if we can add an option to V7.7 to handle this.

BTW, from the technical point of view, it should be possible to add this option. I'll keep you posted.

I agree
Thanks for the feedback!

I think I have a workaround anyway in the meantime that should satisfy my boss. :)

Kathy,

Cool :)

I like your idea to 'fire' the next button event programatically. This can "open" new doors.

Thank you for your suggestion!

Kathy,

New "Simulate 'Next' wizard button" option added to the button control properties (see attached screenshot).

Thanks again for your suggestion.
