Need an idea

Guys, How can I prompt for a Serial Number during installation of my program, I have no idea how to do this so please explain me with code if posible.

And other thing is that how can I bind MSHFlexgrid with ADO

Thanks in advance

I'm going to be really sarcastic and say

VB Code:

Dim strSerial As String
 
strSerial = InputBox("Give me a serial number", "OI!")

Now I'm not going to be sarcastic and say what were you thinking of doing? Getting the HDD serial number, or asking for a number that follows a specific pre-defined fashion, or what?

I want to put product serial number in my application and user has to enter valid product key in order to install my program. If users fails to enter valid key program will not install like other softwares in market.

Hope you get this time :)

So you want any serial number to follow pre-defined pattern, right?

Okay, what pattern? Like RGHT-767GR or something?

Yea Chris!

This pattern is good

okay, give me a while to sort something out

Check your PMs...

Are you creating the installer? Or are you using a separate product such as InstallShield, WiseInstaller etc. ?

I will use InnoSetup for my program, just needed to know how can I prompt user for valid key during installation

Thanks a lot for your help!!! :)
