Modifying Dialog Layout in the Dialog Editor
InstallShield 2020 » Basic MSI Tutorial
The Dialog Editor allows you to modify the appearance of dialogs displayed by your installation.
In this step, you will modify the WelcomeBitmap dialog that you just created:
|
1.
|
First, create a bitmap (using a program like Microsoft Paint) that measures 300 by 150. |
|
2.
|
Open the Dialogs view. |
|
3.
|
Expand the WelcomeBitmap dialog’s node. Click English (United States) to open the Dialog Editor. |
|
4.
|
Click the Dialog Bold Title text box at the top of the dialog. In the Text field, type Welcome Bitmap. This changes the dialog’s main title. |
|
5.
|
Click the Dialog Normal Description text box at the top of the dialog. In the Text field, type Displays my welcome bitmap. This changes the dialog’s description. |
|
6.
|
Click the Bitmap button on the Dialog Control toolbar and use the cursor to drag a box on the dialog. Set the Height to 150 and the Width to 300. |
|
7.
|
In the File field browse to the bitmap file that you created in step 1. |
After rebuilding the project (by pressing F7) and running it (by pressing CTRL+F5), the Welcome Bitmap dialog will appear after the Install Welcome dialog.
