Editing the Layout of a Dialog in an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI Project

InstallShield 2016

Project • This information applies to the following project types:

InstallScript
InstallScript MSI

You can use the Dialog Editor to add, remove, and rearrange controls on a selected dialog. You can also use the Dialog Editor to modify the properties of the dialog or its controls. The InstallShield Dialog Editor functions much in the same way as other resource editors.

When you use the Dialog Editor to change the layout or appearance of a dialog, you are changing only the current project’s copy of the dialog; the changes do not affect any other projects.

To access the Dialog Editor, do one of the following:

In the Dialogs view, click a dialog and then in the dialog preview pane on the right, click the link for the language of the dialog that you want to edit.
In the Dialogs view, right-click a dialog and click Edit.

InstallShield displays the Dialog Editor in the center pane.

Note • When an end user runs your installation on a Windows platform that uses a desktop display theme, the theme is used to display your installation’s end-user dialogs.
