Dialog Behavior

In addition to defining relationships between dialog controls themselves, you will also want to connect dialog controls with the installation itself, so that the dialog will receive and display information about the running setup, such as progress information. The procedure for setting up these connections is described below.

1. Make sure the dialog contains the controls that you wish to display script information in.
2. Double-click one of the controls. The Define Interactive Characteristics dialog appears. Select the Object Behavior tab on this dialog.
3. In the Control drop down menu, select the control that will receive setup information. Controls are listed on this drop down menu by their Name property accessible from the Object Properties window.
4. Depending on the kind of control selected, the fields Receives Information, Writes Values to Variable, and Performs Action will disable or enable.
5. Interact with the enabled fields to define the setup information that the control will reflect.
6. Be sure to click Close on the dialog to finalize your changes, and save your dialog in the main editor.

 Notes

• To see example dialog behaviors in action, open any pre-defined setup dialog. Each dialog will have some behaviors defined.
• Test the behavior you defined in the main editor by choosing ToolsTest Dialog.
