Hide/disable controls

[NewsArchive]

Is there a way to get/know the control ID of controls on the standard
dialogs so they can be hidden/disabled?

For example if I pass my installer the program folder on the command
line I would like to disable the select folder control and button. I
still want to show the dialog just not allow any changes to the install
folder.

Thanks

You should use the Custom Wizard Dialog model to handle this. It gives you
so much power and flexibility.

Doing this in a standard dialog is *not* recommended, but the attached
project demo should work.

Ho Friedrich,

and how can I change / hide / disable /remove the
"previous/next/cancel"-panel in the lower section of a custom dialog?

This would give me the possibillity to use SetupBuilder as ToolBuilder.

Good question. Try something similar this (see attached screenshot and .sb7
project).
