I am using InstallShield 11.5 and Basic MSI project
How to set a pre-formated string to a Text control during run-time? This string contains property name such as [ProductName] etc.
Currently when i try to set this pre-formated string to a property and set it to the Text property of Text control it is displaying the product name toaken as it is.
Any suggestion or pointers to get this working?
Thanks,
Austin.

You can create two text controls and make them hide/show conditionally.

I have two dialogs. From the first dialog i would like to summarize the user inputs to the second dialog for user confirmation. I am trying to take the content of the text from both Label and Edit control into a Text control text present in the next dialog.
Here is the approach i have taken and ended up with the result. I have uploaded the result file along with this.
1. In the Next click i attached a CA which will form the string for the summary Text control in the next box.
2. Assigned the string to a Property which is refered in the text property of Sumary Text contorl.
This work except for filling the tokenized properties of other Text controls.

These properties a resolved at initialization.
You can update your CA to replace 'ProductName' with actual name of product.

You could either use a set-a-property (type 51) custom action to set [TextToShow] = This text will show the [ProductName] string. and then use this in the text box. Or split the text into multiple properties, setting the text box value to: [LeadingText][ProductName][TrailingText]

Thanks Stefan and Antyai.
I tried thow options only limitation with that is that the Text or Edit control is not able to take up beyond certain charaters. I haven't counted the maximum allowed limit.
As a work around i created a ListBox control and loaded each line as one entry to its property table. It works for now.
Thanks,
Austin.
