Summary

In this chapter, we discussed all of the available controls that you can use on your WiX dialogs. They range from simple lines and buttons to progress bars and billboards. With this knowledge, you can either create your own dialogs from scratch or add new controls to the dialogs that come with the WiX toolset's UIExtension library.

In the next chapter, we'll dig into the meaning of control events. These are used to subscribe a control to a particular Windows Installer event or to have a control publish one itself.
