Pasting in MSI Installer TextBoxs

We are upgrading our installers to MSI, and have noticed that you can not "right click and paste" into the text boxes. You can however ctrl+v. Is there a setting that you can switch on to enable context menus with开发者_如何学Goin the installer?

The MSI native UI is horribly primitive, though pretty clever considering it's expressed using a set of database tables ;)

If you need to exercise any degree of control over the UI then you would be better off writing your own front-end interview applet to build up a set of configuration parameters and using that to launch the install with a minimal UI, passing the the parameters in as a set of installer properties.

MSI subclasses the controls it displays, the WndProc for edit controls which MSI sets for edit controls may be implemented in a way that it does not pass right-click events to the original WndProc, and therefore context menu is not displayed.

There's no setting that you can enable context menu functionality.
