I am following this exactly:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms185301.aspx
but can't get it to work. The form appears when I try and add my new item, but when I input text and click the button, nothing happens.
For posterity's sake here is my code:
The non-empty methods in the Wizard class which extends IWizard
public void RunStarted(object automationObject,
Dictionary<string, string> replacementsDictionary,
WizardRunKind runKind, object[] customParams)
{
try
{
// Display a form to the user. The form collects
// input for the custom message.
inputForm = new UserInputForm();
inputForm.ShowDialog();
customMessage = inputForm.get_CustomMessage();
// Add custom parameters.
replacementsDictionary.Add("$custommessage$",
customMessage);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
}
// This method is only called for item templates,
// not for project templates.
public bool ShouldAddProjectItem(string filePath)
{
return true;
}
The user input form code:
public partial class UserInputForm : Form
{
private string customMessage;
public UserInputForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public string get_CustomMessage()
{
return customMessage;
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
customMessage = textBox1.Text;
this.Dispose();
}
}
And the button is indeed named button 1:
this.button1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(200, 180);
this.button1.Name = "button1";
this.button1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(100, 40);
this.button1.TabIndex = 0;
this.button1.Text = "Click Me";
this.button1.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
So I don't have much experience with Windows Forms (do web apps), but I am following the directions on MSDN and it's pretty clear cut. Any suggestions? Can anyone else get this to work?
Okay I figured it out. I had to add the event handler in the form's constructor manually:
Why this isn't in the documentation on MSDN boggles my mind.
