CtrlSetFont Example

InstallShield 2015 » InstallScript Language Reference

Note: To call this function in a Basic MSI setup, you must first create a custom action for the entry-point function, execute the custom action in a sequence or as the result of a dialog's control event, and then build the release.

/*--------------------------------------------------------------*\

*

* InstallShield Example Script

*

* Demonstrates the GetFont and CtrlSetFont functions.

*

* This example script calls GetFont to retrieve the handles

* of four fonts.  These handles are then passed to CtrlSetFont

* to set the font of the static text fields in a custom dialog

* box.

*

* The "custom" dialog used in this script is actually the

* InstallShield dialog that is displayed by the built-in

* function SetupType.  Because this dialog is stored in

* the file _isres.dll, which is already compressed in

* the installation, it can be used in a script as a custom

* dialog.
