WiseScript Editor Reference 134
Creating Custom Dialog Boxes
Action
Select an action for the control:
Return to Previous Dialog
Displays the previously-displayed dialog box in the dialog box set.
(Exception: The Back buttons on wizard dialog boxes do not use this option.
They are controlled by the Wizard Loop script action.) If this is the first
dialog box in the set, it returns to the installation script.
Return to Script
Returns to the installation script, even if this dialog box was called from
another dialog box in the dialog box set.
Display Dialog
Displays the selected dialog box from the current set.
Abort Installation
The end user is asked to confirm that the installation should be aborted.
Display Help Context
If the HELPFILE variable points to a valid copy of a Windows help file, the
specified numeric help context is displayed.
Execute Program
Starts another application or links to a Web page. Click Edit to specify and
configure the application to be started.
See Specifying Execute Program Settings on page 138.
Execute Named Event
Passes a named event to the dialog box script. The DLG_EVENT_TYPE
variable is set to the entered text.
See Creating a Custom Dialog Box Script on page 143.
X-Position / Y-Position
Specify the exact location of the control on the dialog box. You can also use the
alignment commands to precisely arrange controls on the dialog box.
See Aligning and Spacing Dialog Box Controls on page 139.
Note
A dialog unit is based on the size of the dialog font, usually 8-point MS Sans
Serif. A horizontal dialog unit is 1/4 the average width of the font and a vertical
dialog unit is 1/8 the average height of the font.
Width / Height
Specify the exact dimensions of the control in dialog units. You can also resize
controls by dragging their handles, though this is not as precise.
Default Button
Mark this to make this the default button, that is, the one that is selected if the
end user presses the Enter key. Specify only one default button per dialog box.
Do Not Check Fields
Mark this to suppress directory confirmation and field validity checking (useful
for Browse buttons).
4. Click OK.
