Multiple lines of Action text in edit box?

Hi,

So I am using the project Update action text and progressbar with c#/DTF custom action as a reference for what I am trying to accomplish with my installer.

I want to be able to send messages from my custom action to the installer UI. I replicated the functionality of the previously mentioned project. What I want to accomplish however is to append multiple messages one after another, rather than updating & replacing my previous message. My end result would look somewhat like this:

Does anyone know how to accomplish this? I apologize in advance if I am posting this on the incorrect board.

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

If I understand correctly, in order to achieve this, you can have a look on our "List main actions performed during installation into a user friendly log-like fashion" article which I think you may find useful.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
