Hi All,
I had created a windows application and a setup project for my application using custom actions UI forms. In my setup project I had added a dialog box which will takes two parameters (username and password) in this case I am Unable to validate these two fields. I need to validate these username and password text box fields.
if the user does not provide any username or password i have to disable the Next Button in the form else enable the Next Button.

How to do this check?

how to work with Back And Next Buttons in the setup and deployment project. where can i find the reference of the Back And Next Button?

I had created a Installer1 class which inherits the Installer class. I had override the code for Install Commit, Rollback And Uninstall methods. I need some examples on this type of setup projects.

Hi Tadit,

I know how to make windows forms validation. But I am not asking about that. I am asking how to validate the UI Forms of the Custom Actions Dialog Boxes for setup and deployment template.
In the custom actions in VS 2010, We have Custom UI Interface like Textboxes A4 , RadioButtons A3 readme , Licence Agrement dialogboxes.
I need to validate these textboxes for the next form.
If you have any one working on these please forward my query.
Thanks And Regards
