SdComponentMult button problem

[Bruce Olson]

This is my second attempt at trying to get help with a button focus
problem. I may have not made the problem clear enough in my previous
post. I want the user of my install to be able to Enter through it with
out using the mouse if they accept the default settings. There are some
that have complained that their Logitec (sp?) Smart Mouse moves to the
back button on some of my dialogues (SdComponentMult in particular)
this places them in a terminal loop back and forth between the previous
dialogue and SdComponentMult. This doesn't happen unless the smart
mouse option is enabled or the user is using a standard mouse. I notice
that the back button on SdComponentMult is dark and therefore has
focus. The Next button must be set as the dialogues default button or
the problem would be present all the time. I have to solve this problem
without building a custom dialogue (the company I work for doesn't own
Visual c++.) We have Borlands c++ Builder 4.0 but I haven't found a way
to use it to build custom dialogues. If there is anyone out there that
has run into this problem or has some solution I would forever be in
your debt. :-)

Have you tried setting the focus to the next button durring the DLG_INIT

hCtrlWnd = GetDlgItem(hWnd,SD_PBUT_CONTINUE);
SetFocus(hCtrlWnd);

Opps! This is for a custom dialog only, sorry.

Have you guys heard of this problem?

I have created an InstallShield build that has more than one component (and
subcomponents) that I have detailed on the Components Tab of the
InstallShield 5.1 Pro. I then use the dialog SdComponentMult so the user
can select which components and subcomponents to install. My problem is if
the user selects a main component that is not the first one listed, then all
of the files are first written to the computers Temp directory when the
files are installed, and then copied over to the TargetDir. This created a
serious space issue because the client machine needs double the amount of
necessary harddisk space. However, If the user picks the first main
component, then the files are copied to the TargetDir correctly. Has anyone
else noticed this problem, and if so, do you have a fix of workaround?

Thanks.

This may be due to having using a filegroup in more than one component. IS has
various errors in this situation
