Please help me to give input validations for inputs using install anywhere tool.i am giving the blank input,installer not prompting any pop-up window.blank data is taking.
If you don't want to accept blank input, you may want to compare the IA result variable with the $NULL$ value, and in case this was what the end user entered send them back to the previous panel.
In the Pre-Install task, right after your Input Panel, you should use a Display Message, with the following Rule: Check IA variable, your $USER_INPUT_IA_VARIABLE$ equals $NULL$ then display a meaningful message to the end user and return to the previous panel (i.e. the one asking for the input).
this means i need to use display message panel after my input panel.i ahve tried like that but after the display message panel its installing is going i am not getting remaining panel.
Only a Custom Code panel will allow the desired behavior. In what I was offering, the user couldn't by pass your panel unless they entered a non-null value.
I could not able to check result variables with NULL value for "Get user input-simple" panel and choose file panel.show message dialog box is appearing only for "Get user input-Advanced" panel only.could you please help me to how to check result variable for "Get user input-simple"
1) You may add a Display Message Panel (To show the error) 2) Add a rule to the panel Compare InstallAnywhere variable ($USER_INPUT_RESULTS$ equals $NULL$ ) where $USER_INPUT_RESULTS$ is Results Variable of the corresponding field that you want to validate
hi i have worked used show message panel for that,and its working fine but I could not able to check result variables with NULL value for "Get user input-simple" panel and choose file panel.show message dialog box is appearing only for "Get user input-Advanced" panel only.could you please help me to how to check result variable for "Get user input-simple"
If it is working for "Get user input-Advanced", then it should work for "Get user input-simple" as well. I can not say what is wrong without going thru your project. Anyways since "Get user input-Advanced" is working for you, why don't you use the same? Why you want to use "Get user input-Simple"? You can achieve the same functionality with "Get user input-Advanced" as well. So my suggestion is instead of debugging what is wrong with "Get user input-Simple", just go ahead and use what is working for you i.e "Get user input-Advanced".
