WiX: conditionally register application to start when Windows launches -


i want register application start windows launches based on check box in exit dialog.

i followed this seem writing registry done before end dialog (and relevant check box) appear.

my code is: in product.wxs:

<property id="app_automatic_start_up">1</property> .... <component id="appautostartup" guid="{myguid}"> <registryvalue id="app.rst" root="hkcu" action="write" key="software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run" name="app" value="[#myapp.exe]" type="string" /> <condition><![cdata[installed or app_automatic_start_up]]></condition>

in myexitdialog.wxs:

<control id="automaticstartup" type="checkbox" height="18" width="295" x="135" y="190" text="run app upon windows startup" property="app_automatic_start_up" checkboxvalue="1"> <condition action="hide" >installed</condition> <condition action="show" >not installed</condition>

edit: tried adding key registry , in case user un-check check box delete using custom action. code:

[customaction] public static actionresult notrunonstartup(session session) {     session.log("begin notrunonstartup");     registrykey rk = registry.currentuser.opensubkey("software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run", true);     rk.deletevalue("myapp");      return actionresult.success; }  <binary id="notrunonstartupbinary" src="..\customactions\notrunonstartup\bin\$(var.configuration)\notrunonstartup.ca.dll" />  ... <customaction id="notrunonstartupca"         return="check"         execute="immediate"         binarykey="notrunonstartupbinary"         dllentry="notrunonstartup" />  ...    <publish dialog="myexitdialog" control="finish" event="doaction" value="notrunonstartupca">app_automatic_start_up= 0 , not installed</publish>

the result is, during instalation write key registry, when uncheck check box , press finish, key in not removed registry. ideas why?

the other choice write custom action runs @ end of install based on value of checkbox, , again you'd need remove registry entry @ uninstall.

as suggested, better make configuration of app , not install. if user changes mind, what's supposed do? fiddle in registry (if can figure out is)? uninstall , re-install change setting?

by way, program not start "as windows launches". start when user logs on, , that's not same thing. if want launch when user logs on describe users "when logon". if want launch when windows starts need service.

css - Make div keyboard-scrollable in jQuery Mobile? -

from can tell, although jquery-mobile-powered pages can contain divs overflow set scroll or auto, , these divs can scrolled one-screen bar or mouse wheel, cannot scrolled using arrow keys, page-up/page-down, or home/end. instead, official "page" div (with data-role="page") absorbs input. perhaps other divs can't acquire focus, i'm not sure. is there way around this? edit: jsfiddle of simple example: https://jsfiddle.net/qogz0shx/ <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquerymobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile.min.js"> </script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.css"/> <style> #outer { overflow:scroll; height: 50vh; width: 50vw; } #inner { height: 500vh; width: 500vw; } ...
