How can I validate user input?

Author: BitRock Support       Date: October 30, 2007 09:33       Tags: User input and custom installer pages

You can validate user input adding a <validationActionList> to the parameter. For example, adding the following code to the 'installdir' parameter, will prevent the user from selecting a directory that contains a space. 


<validationActionList>
   <throwError>
      <text>This directory path can not contain spaces</text>
      <ruleList>
         <compareText>
          <text>${installdir}</text>
          <logic>contains</logic>
          <value> </value>
         </compareText>
      </ruleList>
   </throwError>
</validationActionList>

Near the top of this page, the “here” link is for a missing article.


Page is messed up

All of the text below the xml example in this article, “How can I validate user input?” is obviously cut and pasted from another article, and doesn’t apply to this topic.
