[WiX-users] How to set property value from UI???

[David Stindl]

Hallo all,
does anybody know how to set "Property" value from UI? I have folowing code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Property Id="_edtUsr" Value="x"/>
....
<Control Text="sec" Id="EdtUsr" Type="Edit" X="95" Y="78" Width="150"
Height="15" Property="_edtUsr" Indirect="yes">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But during the installation, the property "_edtUsr" is everytime "x"
and it ignores user entered value :-(
Thanks for your help.

The whole code is folowing:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
