Larger Editbox function for Text input

It would be helpful if for controls, (such as a lable control), when needing to change a long text string in the text property value, that when the cursor is in the edit box and the function key F2 is pressed, a simple large edit box would popup with the text value allow the text to be edited and applied to the control's text property (then it would also be nice to allow carraige returns as a second feature request).

Re: Larger Editbox function for Text input

Hi,

We will consider adding this improvement in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for your suggestion.

I'm afraid that this is not supported by Windows Installer. The text rows are handled automatically based on the size of the control.
