Using the Dialog Editor
InstallShield 2022 » InstallScript Project Tutorial
The Dialog Editor allows you to modify the appearance of dialog displayed by your installation.
As shown in the previous step, the serial number entered by the end user is displayed in the SdRegisterUserEx dialog as plain text.
To modify the dialog so the password is hidden as the end user types it:
| 1. | In the Dialogs view (which is under the List View’s User Interface node), right-click the SdRegisterUserEx icon and select Edit. |
| 2. | Select the English (United States) icon. |
| 3. | In the Dialog Editor, select the edit field under the Serial Number label. |
| 4. | Change the Password property of the Edit control from False to True. |
Tip:To maximize the Dialog Editor view, press CTRL+M.
After rebuilding the project (by pressing F7) and running it (by pressing CTRL+F5), the serial number entered by the user will be hidden.
Tip:To restore a dialog to its default appearance, right-click the dialog’s icon and select Revert Dialog to Default.
