InstallShield 2016
InstallShield lets you specify whether you want InstallShield to display an InstallScript function call tip—a type of tooltip—when you are entering a function call in your script in the InstallScript view. A function call tip shows a built-in function’s parameter information. It also shows a description of the built-in function, as well as a description of the parameter that you are entering.
Function call tips let you see language information within the script editor, without requiring you to switch to a different window.
Tip • Note that the script editor properties are global per-user settings that affect all InstallShield script editors. For example, the same auto completion settings are used for all script editors. If you change the settings in the SQL Scripts view, the settings are also changed in the InstallScript view the next time that the InstallScript is reloaded in that view.
To specify whether function call tips should be shown in the script editor of the InstallScript view:
| 1. | Right-click in the script editor pane and click Properties. The Script Editor Properties dialog box opens. |
| 2. | In the Show function call tips setting, select the appropriate option: |
| • | Yes—InstallShield displays function call tips when you are entering function calls in your script. This is the default option. |
| • | No—InstallShield does not display function call tips when you are entering function calls in your script. |
| 3. | Click OK. The Script Editor Properties dialog box closes. |
InstallShield enables or disables function call tips in the InstallScript editor as needed.
For details about how function call tips work, see Viewing Function Call Tips for an InstallScript Function in the Script Editor.
