Trouble creating an Install Location dialog

[Younie, Bradford]

I'm trying to create a dialog that only asks for the destination
directory. I have it display the contents of INSTALLDIR, and the Browse
button works fine. The only problem is that when you OK the Browse
dialog and get back to the Destination Folder dialog, the label that
displays the selected path does not update to show the new path. If I
click Next to go to the next dialog, and then hit back, it will show the
new path. So, this seems to be a refresh problem.
 
Is there an event I can subscribe to that will cause a label to refresh
when the Browse dialog goes away?
 
Here's the dialog's code:
 
      <Dialog Id="DestinationDlg" Width="370" Height="270"
Title="[ProductName] [Setup]" NoMinimize="yes" TrackDiskSpace="yes">
        <Control Id="Browse" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="200"

          <!--<Publish Event="SelectionBrowse"

Look at InstallDirDlg.wxs in the WiX sources. It does exactly what
you're trying to do without any problems.

Why are you trying to re-write this when it already exists in
WiXUIExtension?

First, I have to say that I'm fairly new to wix. That being said, here's
my situation:

I have my own custom dialog sequence. I have my own WelcomeDlg, which
has its own banner bitmap. It currently goes to a custom SetupTypeDlg
that has choices different than the default. And then I have other
dialogs that are pretty standard (except with my own banner bitmap).

I need to insert an InstallDlg into my custom sequence, without using
the canned sequence. It seems that the only way to do that is to take
the InstallDlg.wxs from the wix source, rename it, and then work it into
my UI source. This is fine, but now that I'm linking with
WixUIExtension.dll, I have to rename some of my custom dialogs and
remove duplicate properties and so on. I'm doing that now.

If there's an easier, or more standard option, I'd love to hear it.

You should be able to take a WixUI sequence (e.g.
http://wix.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/wix/wix/src/ext/UIExtension/wixlib/WixUI_Mondo.wxs?revision=1.6)

and use that as a base. Most of the various WixUI sequences use the
same dialogs, just referencing the individual dialogs as needed and
using different Publish elements.

For my setup, I started with WixUI_Installdir, renamed it, added a
couple of custom dialogs, added and changed some Publish elements and
that was it.

You should be able to reference InstallDlg, without having to
copy/rename it - the dialogs and dialog sets are pretty flexible,
check out http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/WixUI_customizations.htm
for some more information about adding custom dialogs to the built in
sets.
