I am new to Wix Toolset. I am using v3.6 and using ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost.
In my theme .xml file, one of the pages looks like this – 

  <Page Name="Install">
<Text X="11" Y="121" Width="400" Height="17" FontId="3">#(loc.InstallLicenseLabel)</Text>
<Hyperlink Name="eula" X="11" Y="138" Width="75" Height="17" TabStop="yes" FontId="4" HoverFontId="4" SelectedFontId="4">#(loc.InstallLicenseTerms)</Hyperlink>
<Button Name="InstallButton" X="-91" Y="-11" Width="130" Height="23" TabStop="yes" FontId="0">#(loc.InstallAcceptAndInstallButton)</Button>
<Button Name="WelcomeCancelButton" X="-11" Y="-11" Width="75" Height="23" TabStop="yes" FontId="0">#(loc.InstallDeclineButton)</Button></Page>

My problem is that I don’t know where to add the reference source information for hyperlink. None of its attribute has this facility. Similarly, I am unable to associate event functions with buttons. Could any one please help me???

Thanks a lot in advance…

    MSDN article on Hypelink control in MSI has an example:

    <a href="http://www.blueyonderairlines.com">Blue Yonder Airlines</a>

    So in WiX you would write something like:

    <Hyperlink Name="eula"
           X="11" Y="138" Width="75" Height="17" TabStop="yes">
           &lt;a href=&quot;http://yoursite.com/&quot;&gt;Your Site&lt;/a&gt;
</Hyperlink>

    You can also add some descriptive text to the control if you like.

    Read Control Your Controls section of WiX Tutorial to know how to add event handlers to buttons.

    Windows Installer UI, and WiX correspondingly, is not very flexible. Yet it’s enough for most installers.
