Editing Dialog Behavior in Basic MSI Projects

InstallShield 2025

Project: This information applies to the Basic MSI projects.

In the Dialogs view, you can configure settings to specify how controls will behave at run time. The behavior-related settings for a control enable you to configure the following types of functionality:

•

Events that an end user interacting with the control will trigger

•

Windows Installer events to which a control needs to subscribe

•

Conditions under which the control will be displayed

To access the behavior settings for a control:

Do one of the following:

•

In the Dialogs view, expand the dialog node for the dialog that you want to modify, and then click its Behavior subnode.

•

In the Custom Actions and Sequences view, right-click the dialog and click Edit Behavior.

In the center pane, which shows a list of all of the controls on the selected dialog, click the control that you want to configure. Its settings are displayed in the right pane.

Configure the Events, Subscriptions, and Conditions settings as needed.
