Bug in SdAskOptions()?

[Mickey Ferguson]

I've set up my MEDIA so that two of the components are not visible, yet when I call SdAskOptions(), I can see all three.  The last two should not be visible.  Any idea why?  Is this a bug in my code or in SdAskOptions()?

 

  ComponentAddItem(SERVER_OPTIONALCOMPONENTS, CAD_INTERFACE, 0, FALSE);
  ComponentSetData(SERVER_OPTIONALCOMPONENTS, CAD_INTERFACE,
                   COMPONENT_FIELD_VISIBLE, TRUE, "");
  ComponentSelectItem(SERVER_OPTIONALCOMPONENTS, CAD_INTERFACE,
                      gbCADInterface);

  ComponentAddItem(SERVER_OPTIONALCOMPONENTS, ALIFAX, 0, FALSE);
  ComponentSetData(SERVER_OPTIONALCOMPONENTS, ALIFAX,
                   COMPONENT_FIELD_VISIBLE, FALSE, "");
  ComponentSelectItem(SERVER_OPTIONALCOMPONENTS, ALIFAX, gbALIFax);

 

  ComponentAddItem(SERVER_OPTIONALCOMPONENTS, ALIPAGE, 0, FALSE);
  ComponentSetData(SERVER_OPTIONALCOMPONENTS, ALIPAGE,
                   COMPONENT_FIELD_VISIBLE, FALSE, "");
  ComponentSelectItem(SERVER_OPTIONALCOMPONENTS, ALIPAGE, gbALIPage);

 

  gsOptionalMedia = SERVER_OPTIONALCOMPONENTS;

 

--------------------------------

 

  sTitle = @PRODUCT_NAME + " Optional Features Software Module Selection";
  sMsg2  = "When you are finished making your selections, click Next to continue.";

 

  gsSavedMediaName = MEDIA;
  MEDIA = gsOptionalMedia;

 

  if (SdAskOptions(sTitle, "", sMsg2, "", "", NONEXCLUSIVE) = BACK) then

Try the SdAskOptionsList. This may be a limitation in SdAskOptions.

No offense, Stefan, especially because I know you are simply volunteering
your time and not an InstallShield employee, but isn't it being quite
generous in using the term 'limitation'? It specifically says in the
ComponentSetData() function that this is how to make a component not
visible. Oh well, I guess it's on to writing yet another custom dialog...

InstallShield employees, please add this to your bug list. And while you're
at it, could we also have a way to set a component as disabled so that it is
visible, but grayed out and cannot be changed by the user?

It's short-sighted design. Just like the SdSetupType dialog that doesn't
show your actual setup types, or the SdAskOptions dialog showing path-like
expressions for sub-components, or...
