Question: Line breaks in the text control

[shetty_rohan]

Is it possible to have the line breaks(like \r or \n) in the "text" contron?

For example, in "WelcomeDlg" we have a text control "Description" which displays "The [Wizard] will install [ProductName] on your computer. Click [Text_Next] to continue or Cancel to exit the [Wizard]."

Would it be possible to display "Click [Text_Next] to continue or Cancel to exit the [Wizard]." in the second line?

Hi Rohan,

Unfortunately we don't have predefined support for this, but there are two workarounds you can use:

1. Simply place a new control under the one you already have and share the text between them

OR

2. Follow the next steps:
- create a new property in the Install Parameters page (i.e. PROP)
- go in the "Custom Actions" page and add an "Execute inline script code" custom action above the "Wizard Dialogs Stage -> Searches" action group
- in the "Script Text" text field write the following code:

Code: Select all

"Session.Property("PROP") = vbLf

- in the "Display" text field from the "Properties" panel of your description control write the desired text like this:

Code: Select all

First line[PROP]Second line

Build and run the project.
