    <p>I am trying to fill in a ListBox with CustomAction and it's not going well. I try to figure out the <code>session.Database.Tables</code> but have no idea how to start.</p> <p>I've created a listbox like this </p> <pre><code>&lt;Control Id="ListBox1" Type="ListBox" Sorted="no" Indirect="no" Property="LISTBOXVALUESONE" X="10" Y="50" Width="150" Height="180"&gt; &lt;ListBox Property="LISTBOXVALUESONE"&gt; &lt;ListItem Text="ARGHH!" Value="1"/&gt; &lt;/ListBox&gt; &lt;/Control&gt; </code></pre> <p>But I cant see the property in my verbrose log or anything about an table so I guess I have to create an table in customAction and populate it? I see my <code>ARGHH!</code> in the list so it should exsist but how do I access the values? And add new ones?</p> <p>Found more examples and stuff in C++ but i would like to make the CustomAction in C#</p> <p>EDIT</p> <pre><code>Database db = session.Database; string sqlInsertTemp = db.Tables["ListBox"].SqlInsertString + " TEMPORARY"; View view = db.OpenView(sqlInsertTemp ); view.Execute( new Record( new object[] { "LISTBOXVALUESONE", 2, "2", "One" } )); view.Close(); </code></pre> <p>Thanks to Christopher I got it to work with adding an value.</p> <p><code>db.Tables["ListBox"]</code> should remain the same and name the type not the id as i taught And on this line <code>view.Execute( new Record( new object[] { "LISTBOXVALUESONE", 2, "2", "One" } ));</code> you put your Listbox Property and then the placement of the value "one" we insert</p> <p>The two "2"s is what I figure the placement we want it on and I already have an test value on 1 my "ARGHH!" so I put the new on 2 and dont know the details but...</p> <p>I got an Table Update error and, one dublicate value error if i put 2,1 or 1,2 in the customaction!</p>

    1. CODynamically emitting rows in MSI is a powerful concept but bewarned that you lose the benefits of validation at build time. Therefore you must make sure that the rows you insert are 100% valid.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
