SdAskDestPath with SdconfirmNewDir

[thanatos83]

Hi all.

I use in my project this two dialogs, but there is a problem. if i select another folder than the default installation then in "SdConfirNewDir" appears with default installation, why?, not changes?

I use this code...

Dlg_SdAskDestPath:
	bCustom = TRUE; 
   	
    nResult = SdAskDestPath(szTitle, szMsg, INSTALLDIR, 0);

    if (SD_PBUT_CHANGEDIR = TRUE) then
    	CtrlGetText ( szDlg, 0x80000000 | SD_STA_DESTDIR, szDir );
    endif;
      
    if (nResult = BACK) goto Dlg_SetupType;
   
    // check exist folder
   	if (ExistsDir (svDir) = EXISTS) then
   		goto Dlg_SdSelectFolder;
   	else
   		CtrlSetText ( SD_DLG_CONFIRMNEWDIR, 701, szDir);
   		nResult = SdConfirmNewDir ( szTitle , svDir , 0 ); 
   			if (nResult = NO) then 
   				goto Dlg_SdAskDestPath;
   			else
   				nResult = YES;
   			endif;
	endif;    

any help please???

I'm not sure that CtrlGetText and CtrlSetText work outside of a dialog loop, and those loops are hidden behind the calls to SdAskDestPath and SdConfirmNewDir here. But you shouldn't need to use them; instead the third parameter of SdAskDestPath will return the newly selected value, and the second of SdConfirmNewDir will allow you to pass this in.

In other words, try replacing your CtrlGetText call with svDir = INSTALLDIR, and removing your CtrlSetText call.

thanks michael, that work nice!

so, one question:

I include in my project the (setuptype2) dialog with two SetupTypes like : Complete and Custom.

the complete option always install the all features in the same path drive C:\ ???

When i select custom option and if select another drive to install my features then in "StartCopy" dialog i see the new path to install all features correctly. but if i select at first a custom setup, and then in askdestpath dialog i select another folder, and come back to setup type dialog again for select a complete option then in startcopy dialog i see the new path of my installation, so complete option does not always install the features in the default path???

sorry for my bad english 🙂
