Serial length Problem

Hi,

I have a little problem with the length of the serial fields.

My serials have at least this format:
XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX (or some fields longer)

Now Advanced Installer shows it like this:

I guess it wouldn't be a problem if it wouldn't make the fields so long (they are at least 1/3 to long), or it wouldn't just stop at the beginning of the 5th field...

Is there anything you could do about this?

Anyway, why are the serial fields not in 3D-Style?
kind regards,
Alex

The size of the edit fields depends on the template used. I tried with a template of form: <%%%%%%-%%%%%%-%%%%%%-%%%%%%-%%%%%%> and it looks nice.

What template are you using?

The fileds are drawn by Windows Installer and it is the one setting the control styles...

Let me know if you still have the control too short problem - we can make it longer in the msi.

Hi,

I'm using the following template:
<??????-??????-??????-??????-??????>

I used '?' since I need from 0-F (Hex) in the license code.
kind regards,

I see. Then we have to increase that control's size. Will be included in the next version.
