Summary
This article discusses how to create Scrolling Edit field for InstallScript or InstallScriptMSI ProjectsSynopsis
By default, the data held by edit fields of InstallScript or InstallScript MSI dialogs are limited to the visible length of the field. Such edit fields do not allow scrolling if data entered exceeds this length.
Discussion
Use the following steps to create a scrolling edit field:
- Select the edit field in question in the Dialog Editor.
- Click the Other Windows Styles attribute in the table to the right.
- Click the ellipses button that is displayed to the right after Step 2.
- Select the ES_AUTOHSCROLL option.
- Build the project.
This setting allows the field to scroll so that it can contain more data compared to the length of the field.
Additional Information
For more information on editing dialogs, see the Help Library topic Dialogs View (InstallScript and InstallScript MSI Projects).
