Displaying text inside a control element with type edit

Question

Pretty simple: I would like to have a edit-field where there is already text inside (a kind of default value) but which is also editable. I tried a lot of different version but nothing wanted to work yet.

This is the last version I tried (the checkbox works just fine):

<Property Id="MYPROPERTY" Value="default" />
        <UI>
            <Dialog Id="ConfigVariablesDlg" Width="370" Height="270">
                <Control Type="Edit" Id="InputField" Property="MYPROPERTY" X="125" Y="27" Width="100" Height="15" Indirect="yes" Text="[MYPROPERTY]">
                    <Condition Action="disable"><![CDATA[EnableBox<>"1"]]></Condition>
                    <Condition Action="enable">EnableBox="1"</Condition>
                </Control>
                <Control Type="CheckBox" Id="MyBox" Width="10" Height="10" X="110" Y="30" Property="EnableBox" CheckBoxValue="1"/>
            </Dialog>
        </UI>

Answer 1

when you define your property you simply have to assigne it a value like this

<Property Id="MYPROPERTY">Text you want to fill in</Property>

So you cut away your Value Field from your Control Element and define your Property beforehand. (Still Inside your UI Element!)

So in the end your code should look something like this

<UI>
    <Property Id="MYPROPERTY">Text you want to fill in</property>
    <Dialog Id="ConfigVariablesDlg" Width="370" Height="270">
        <Control Type="Edit" Id="InputField" Property="MYPROPERTY" X="125" Y="27" Width="100" Height="15" Indirect="yes">
            <Condition Action="disable"><![CDATA[EnableBox<>"1"]]></Condition>
            <Condition Action="enable">EnableBox="1"</Condition>
        </Control>
        <Control Type="CheckBox" Id="MyBox" Width="10" Height="10" X="110" Y="30" Property="EnableBox" CheckBoxValue="1"/>
    </Dialog>

*edit also I am pretty (but not entirely sure)

![CDATA[EnableBox<>"1"]]

should be

![CDATA[EnableBox<>1]]

atleast thats how it worked for me
