How to prefill serial number field with default value?

[newengland]

Hi,

If a user has already installed our software, I am able to read the serial number value from the registry using an action.

However, I am having trouble loading this value as the "default text" property so it pre-fills the serial number field (as a convenience so they do not have to re-enter it)

Can someone help? Thanks!

Have you used sessionvar.set() to set %SerialNumber% to the value you read from the registry?

this Action worked for me:

DlgEditField.SetProperties(CTRL_EDIT_03, {Text = serialnumberinregistry});

Set this On PreLoad Action for the serial number screen. CTRL_EDIT_03 is the name of the field where the user enters their serial #
