Choose Variable Dialog Box
InstallAnywhere 2022
Instead of having to manually type in the name of variables in text boxes or text areas in your installation project, you can open the Choose Variable dialog box and select a variable from a list. While you are editing the contents of a text box or a text area, you can open the Choose Variable dialog box by pressing Alt + V.
The Choose Variable dialog box lists all of the variables available in your project, grouped by category, with embedded help for the selected variable. Whenever you add a new variable to your installation project, the Choose Variable dialog box is refreshed to include it. Variables are listed in the following categories:
| • | Standard InstallAnywhere Variables |
| • | Java System Properties |
| • | Magic Folder Variables |
| • | User Defined Magic Folders |
| • | User Defined Variables |
Click Add to add the selected variable to the currently active text box. Click Refresh Variables to manually refresh the variable list.
The Choose Variable dialog box remains open until you click the Close button.
