Setting an Event on a Control
The Events tab, which appears on the Properties dialog box for dialog box controls,
determines the events that the control can send and receive.
See
Editing Dialog Controls
Use events to control the display of other dialog boxes, and to control the way Windows
Installer displays dialog boxes. When an event is generated (either by a dialog box
control or by Windows Installer) it is published. The published event is sent to Windows
Installer and to all dialog box controls that have subscribed to it.
Publish events
The top section of the Events tab lists the events published by the control.
To add a new published event, click Add.
To edit a selected event, click Details.
To remove a selected event from this control, click Delete.
To rearrange the order in which the events are sent, click Move Up or Move Down.
When you click Add or Details, the Publish Event Details dialog box appears, where you
set the following options:

Select the event to be published. See the following in the Windows Installer SDK
Help:
ControlEvent Overview for general information on control events.

If there is no condition, the event always occurs.
