Hi,
How to create textbox, labels at runtime?

My requirement:
+ I need to show some textboxes & labels based on the features selected by the user.
+ If user selected 2 features i need to show 2 labels & 2 textbox to get some input.
+ I dont want to hide or disable controls(because if only one text box is displayed in the screen, remaining part will be blank)

Any suggestion to fulfill my requirement.....

Hi,
Can anyone give me a suggestion pls.....

[yamakamyar]

What dialog would you like to perform these actions?

Before getting to the dialog set your property:

MsiSetProperty(hMSI, "MYTEXTBOXSHOULDBEON", 1);

Now in your dialog add a textbox "myTextbox"
Go to dialog's Behavior
Select your textbox "myTextbox"
At the bottom select the Conditions tab.
Set:
Action: Hide - Condition: NOT MYTEXTBOXSHOULDBEON
Action: Show - Condition: MYTEXTBOXSHOULDBEON

Hope this helps.

Hi yamakamyar,

Thanks for your suggestion, your suggestion is helpful to me if I know how to resize or move text box in dialog box, because as I mention that if the user selected only one feature then remaining screen where the textboxes are hidden will be blank........ so is it possible to resize the controls at runtime?

you can put the textboxes, labels in the dialogs and then show and hide them as per the condition.

I'm adding custom dialog with text box.The text box value will be used for XML file change.

The Custom dialog shows the text box - but the initial value is zero.

How to remove the zero.

please let me know.

In the Property Manager, find your edit field's property name and delete its "0" value.
