Auto Complete text box

[donbrookes]

I love adv installer. I cam from another installer that was much tougher to work with and buggy.
All of the installers that I have created so far with adv installer has not has this requirement:
I want to be able to have an auto complete text box. The user would start to type in the drive letter and part of the directory, and it returns matches so they can select the correct directory quickly. I have a browse button for them, but they are used to having that "auto" populate list as they type. The installer I came from had a property on PathEdit text box that would turn this feature on. Since the PathEdit does not have that right now (i dont; think it does), I want to see if I can write custom actions to populate a list below the text box with the matches of what they typed so far. I know this sounds petty, but users are users.
So, the first question is, is there a key up event on a text box that I can hook a custom action to?

Hello Don,

First of all, thank you for your kind words!

I am glad to hear you like our product.

Regarding your question, I'm afraid that the "EditBox" control does not allow this.

This EditBox is a predefined control from the Windows Installer technology:

Edit Control (Windows Installer)

As we can see, this does not have an autocomplete option.

Even if we were to have a custom action, the autocomplete function would have to have another control where the user gets the suggestions, which is also not possible.

Please let me know if you require any other assistance and I will gladly help!

Best regards,
Catalin
