Properties and Methods

InstallShield 2022

By definition, properties are used to describe attributes associated with a data structure, and methods are procedures that are executed when an object receives a message.

Throughout InstallShield, you can add, create, and set properties associated with different aspects of your installation. Properties can be useful in object scripts .

Methods, like properties, allow your object to interact with the installation that contains it. Methods, for all practical purposes, are functions. As a matter of fact, the only difference between a method and a function is the fact that a method is declared with the method keyword. Methods allow you to expose your object’s functions to other objects and installations.
