InstallShield 2015
To add dialog controls when your setup project is open in Microsoft Visual Studio, use the Toolbox.
Accessing the Toolbox
To access the InstallShield Dialogs Toolbox:
| 1. | Do one of the following: |
| • | On the View menu, click Toolbox. |
| • | Press CTRL+ALT+X. |
| 2. | Click the InstallShield Dialogs tab, if it is not already expanded. |
Adding Controls
To add controls to a dialog:
| 1. | Click on the type of control you want to add to the dialog. |
| 2. | Click on the dialog, hold the mouse button down, and drag the mouse to draw the dimensions of the control. You can adjust the control’s size by setting the height and width properties. |
As soon as you release the mouse button, the cursor changes to the Select Tool, which you can use to resize the new control.
| 3. | Set the control’s properties. For more information, see Editing Dialog Layout in Basic MSI Projects or Editing the Layout of a Dialog in an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI Project. |
Using Sticky-State Mode
The toolbox control also has a sticky-state mode that allows you to create additional controls of the same type without returning to the Toolbox. To enable sticky-state mode, press the CTRL key while you drag the cursor from the toolbox to the dialog.
Using Auto Hide
The Dialog Toolbox has an auto-hide feature that allows you to hide the toolbox when it is not in use. To enable Auto Hide, click the Auto Hide button in the top-right corner of the toolbox. The toolbox is hidden on the side of the screen when you are not using it.
