Copying and Pasting Controls
InstallShield 2020
In the Dialog Editor, you can copy and paste controls within a dialog or from one dialog to another by using standard Windows keyboard shortcuts or context menus.
To copy a push button from one dialog to another:
| 1. | Open the layout for the dialog that contains the button you want to copy. |
| 2. | Select the push button and press CTRL+C. |
| 3. | Open the second dialog in the Dialog Editor and press CTRL+V to paste the control in the dialog. |
The push button is pasted with the same relative size and position as the original. Its other properties are also identical to the original’s. The copy of the push button is given a unique name based on the type of control it is. However, you must edit the new control’s behavior, since that information is not copied over (Basic MSI projects).
Note:Radio button groups are a special case. When you copy the group, all of its radio buttons are copied for you. You cannot copy a radio button by itself.
