Build a text based on controls in a a dialog

[davidkm]

Hi,

I have a dialog with two comboboxes where users will select region and environment. I need to build a url based on the combobox selections.

For e.g.
If region is US and environment is Production url construction will be
https://{region}.example.com

and if region is EU and environment is test the url should be
https://{region}.{environment}.anotherexample.com

After this I need to update this value to my appsettings.json.

Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to our forums,

In order to achieve this, please follow the steps below:

1. Click on the Next button of your dialog --> Published Events tab and click on the New... button.

2. Here add two Set installer property value events, like this:

• Property: MYURL
  Argument: https://US.example.com
  Condition: COMBOBOX_1_PROP = "US" and COMBOBOX_2_PROP = "Production"
• Property: MYURL
  Argument: https://EU.testing.anotherexample.com
  Condition: COMBOBOX_1_PROP = "EU" and COMBOBOX_2_PROP = "Testing"

where:

• MYURL is the name of your property from the Properties page. If you do not have one already, you can create it.
• COMBOBOX_1_PROP and COMBOBOX_2_PROP are the properties name of your ComboBox controls.
• "EU", "US", "Production", "Testing" are the values of the ComboBox controls.

After that, the MYURL property will be set according to the user's selection. Then you can use this property in your .json file.

Please find attached a sample project. On the FolderDlg is displayed the URL value in an EditBox control.
