InstallShield 2016
If function call tips are enabled, InstallShield shows InstallScript function call tips—a type of tooltip—when you are entering function calls 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.
To learn how to enable function call tips, see Enabling or Disabling InstallScript Function Call Tips in the Script Editor.
To view a description of a function, as well as parameter details about that function:
| 1. | Enter a function name in your script by typing it or using automatic function name completion, as described earlier. |
| 2. | Type a left parenthesis—(—after the function name. InstallShield displays a function call tip that shows a complete call to the function, including all of its parameters. The tip also includes a description of the function, as well as a description of the next parameter that you need to enter. The first parameter appears in blue, by default. |
| 3. | Type the parameters as indicated by the call tip. Each time that you type a comma, the next parameter in the function syntax appears in blue, by default. |
| 4. | To close the call tip, type the right parenthesis—). Or, press ESC or click in the script editor pane outside the call tip. |
Tip • To view additional details about a particular built-in function, constant, or other InstallScript word, place the insertion point within that word, and then press F1. The InstallShield Help Library opens, enabling you to learn more about that particular word.
