Hi all.
I have a question.
I have to require Database physical file names in my installation (names of LDF & MDF files for SQL Server database).
Sometimes it can be when user specifyed incorrect characters (like "/" or ":"). I have a filter action which sticked on Next button.
But I want to do this check in other style - like in Windows. I want like this - when you press on the incorrect character button there are Information Hint appears (see in attached file).

Q:
Is it possible to get know what particular character was pressed in this moment?
For example, to use in DLL for displaying Information Hint.

Not possible in msi. You don't get messages when the content of the edit field changes, only when the focus moves to another control. You would have to create an external UI.

Sounds like a good feature request for future MSI versions.
