MsiEnableUIPreview function (msiquery.h)
The MsiEnableUIPreview function enables preview mode of the user interface to facilitate authoring of user-interface dialog boxes. This function returns a handle that should be closed using MsiCloseHandle.
Syntax
UINT MsiEnableUIPreview(
[in] MSIHANDLE hDatabase,
[out] MSIHANDLE *phPreview
);
Parameters
[in] hDatabase
Handle to the database.
[out] phPreview
Pointer to a returned handle for user-interface preview capability.
Return value
This function returns UINT.
Remarks
Note that it is recommended to use variables of type PMSIHANDLE because the installer closes PMSIHANDLE objects as they go out of scope, whereas you must close MSIHANDLE objects by calling MsiCloseHandle. For more information see Use PMSIHANDLE instead of HANDLE section in the Windows Installer Best Practices.
