asking multiple inputs in one dialog box

Hi

Is there anyone to help me?

Actually I want to ask users to input some information and then I want to save them in a text file. my problem is that I want to ask a user input about 10 inputs in one dialog box. I am using AskText cammand
nResult1 = AskText ("Enter Web Service URL:", "http://localhost:9000/ConnectorEventService", eventURL);
nResult2 = AskText ("Enter SDS URL:", "http://localhost:9090/SDS", sdsURL);
and so on ...
but they are appearing in 10 dialog box, I want to ask all these information in one dialog box not 10!

Best Regards
🙂

Then create a custom dialog and create control over that and call the dialog during the setup sequence.

In the Installation designer tab you will find UserInterface -> Dialogs.
Here you can create the new dialogs and control.

It can be a bit tricky the first time, but perhaps see the topics under Creating Installations > Defining the End-User Interface > Working with Dialogs > Working with Dialogs in InstallScript..., especially "Using InstallScript to Implement Custom Dialogs".

For another option, there's a built-in SdShowDlgEdit3 dialog box that has three edit fields, so using that a few times might simplify things without getting too crowded...

Search the DefineDialog Example in your IS help file, that will help you.
also you can check this link for IS documentation on different topics..

Thanks a lot
Although it was a big deal but ur resources were very useful. I recommend others to use SdShowDlgEdit3 it is very very easier.
