Using the Get User Input - Advanced Panel

InstallAnywhere 2017

Edition • This information applies to the Premier edition of InstallAnywhere.

The Get User Input - Advanced Panel action lets create a custom panel with a variety of configurable controls that you can use to obtain input from end users. You may add an unlimited number of varied input items to a single panel.

To create the Get User Input - Advanced panel:

1. In the Advanced Designer, on the Sequence page, click the appropriate sequence (Pre-Install, Post-Install, Pre-Uninstall, or Post-Uninstall). The appropriate view opens.
2. Click the Add Action button. The Choose an Action dialog box opens.
3. On the Panel tab, click the Get User Input - Advanced action, and then click the Add button. InstallAnywhere adds the action to the action list, and displays its settings in the bottom of the view. The Choose an Action dialog box remains open, enabling you to add additional actions as needed.
4. Click the button for the type of control that you want to add to your panel. Available options are: Add Textfield, Add Choice Group, Add Label, or Add File Chooser. InstallAnywhere adds a row for that control to the table next to the buttons.
5. Click the new row and then click the Configure Selection button. A dialog box opens, enabling you to configure the settings for the control.
6. Configure the settings as needed.
7. Click OK.

Tip • To view the controls that you have added to the panel, click the Preview button.
