Hi,

I am using Installshield 10.50 Professional - AdminStudio Edition. I created one new dialog box, in that 4 edit text fields are available, first edit text box should only allow characters(Other than that it should not allow anything , any junk values,etc.). The Second edit box should allow only numeric values(other that it should not allow any characters, any junk values,etc). Third edit text box should allow only alphanumeric values(user can enter numeric values and characters, other than that it should not allow any junk values,etc.) . the fourth edit text box also same like third edit txt box. how to validate these edit text fields...
I think we can write VB Script Custom Action . I don't how to do that ? or do you have any idea how to solve this problem ? Please can anyone answer this question , really i feel very happy.

thanks in advance,
Regards,

The MaskedEdit control might do what you need.

Hi Stefan Krueqer,

Thank you for your response.
Instead of normal edit text box, i have taken masked edit text box, but how to edit mask property like if masked edit text should only for characters or only numeric's or alphanumeric only.

Thanks in advance,

with best regards,

The possible options are documented in the help. However these are limited. If MaskedEdit cannot do all you need then you would have to create a custom action (DLL for instance) that will verify the format when the user clicks the NEXT button.

Prathap,

Can you give the example of the text that you would get as input from the user?

--Austin.

[reddy611]

Thank you Austin.

In between A-Z he(USER) can enter any thing, but we should not allow to enter other than anything (Ex: asd123,aaaa11,$$$$asd123 like that ).
while entering the input to the text we should validate ( I think by using Mask Edit text we can do this )else after choosing next we should say please enter the text in between A-z only.

Thanks in advance,

With best regards,
Prathap
