Installshield does not provide a Activex or any other kind of control to accept IP address from user, I am looking for a way to create a dialog box in VB etc with IPAddress control then port it in Installshield.. is it possible?
BTW: I dont want user to enter ip-address in a text box, rather I would like to create a IPadress control that accepts only ipaddress.
I cannot think of a mask that would accept only IP values. You could use a validation method through VB string functions that would check if the format is "???.???.???.???"

Well, to your surprise, VB .net does (and infact VB6) does provide a MASKED control (MaskTextBox) that can be used (with validation) as a component on a form to accept IPADDRESS, but I am not aware of a technique that would allow me to port VB.NET dialog box into my installshield project..this is where I am stuck.??
I believe InstallSite has a couple of examples; perhaps look in InstallScript Samples > User Interface and Windows Installer > InstallShield Samples for two approaches.

Robert,
Thanks, i am looking at one of the examples on instalsite, where Windows API is being used to trun an existing control into IP Address control.
