.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / General / September 2005PrePopulate TextBox
Hi, I want to pre-populate a textbox in one of the standard dialogs that come with the VS installer. I can pass data from the dialog box to my custom action, but I cannot go the other way, go from the custom action to the dialog box. Basically, I am doing this, overriding Install in my custom action, and trying everything to set the dialog box value from the custom action. I want to prepopulate the dialog box with some data that is being read from the web.config file, then allowing the user to save the values they want and write them out to the web.config file. The last issue I have is this prepopulate of the textbox with a value from the web.config file. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Buzz > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Thanks in advance, > Buzz You should be able to set the text box to use a property.

I have put the Textboxes dialog in the End stage. For a textbox, I have tried to set Edit1Value to both [EDITA1] and "[EDITA1]", the Edit1Property is EDITA1. For the custom action, I have set the CustomActionData to /EDITA1=[EDITA1] and /EDITA1="[EDITA1]". In the custom action dll, I override the Install method and try to change the value by Context.Parameters["EDITA1"] = "text". The UI window pops up, and it's value is 1.
