Multi line input fields

Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:46 am

Until now it is a true challenge to edit a bigger amount of text an input field.

It would be fine to have a possibility to change its size or to edit and check content in a separate editor.

One example (a special Build Event to create an ISO image):
Command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\ImgBurn\ImgBurn.exe"
Arguments: "/MODE BUILD /BUILDOUTPUTMODE IMAGEFILE /SRC "[|AI_BUILD_OUTPUT_FILE]|\\DC\Public\MyDir\_CC_CD\autorun.inf|\\DC\Public\MyDir\_CC_CD\autorun\|\\DC\Public\MyDir\_CC_CD\other\|\\DC\Public\MyDir\_CC_CD\drivers\" /DEST "\\dc\Public\MyDir\[|ProductName]_[|ProductVersion].iso" /VOLUMELABEL "[|ProductName] (v[|ProductVersion])" /OVERWRITE YES /START /CLOSESUCCESS /NOIMAGEDETAILS /ROOTFOLDER NO"

In This case the input field "Arguments" is not really good to work with ;-)

Hi,

As far as I know, the size of most of the fields in Advanced Installer can be increased or they can be edited in a separate editor. For example, when you add a new build event, you can drag its bottom-right corner to resize it. Isn't this available for you?

It is possible to size the height of the window, but not of the input box (as I know). If I resize the window only the width of the input box changes.

That's fine if size of monitor is big enough to display whole content of an input box ;-)

Hi,

Indeed, only the size of the window can be modified, not the input field itself. We'll consider your suggestion for improving this in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you!

That would be helpful!

I think the easiest way would be to implement a button like at directory input boxes to open a small editor.

Yes, this might be the best option. Thank you for the feedback.
