Check Box Control

Enter a name for this check box. The name must be unique among all of the controls in your project.

If this is the only control on the dialog that will dismiss the dialog, select True. Clicking the cancel control has the same effect as pressing the ESC key or clicking the Close button on the title bar. The Cancel or Finish button is usually the cancel control.

This value is ignored if True is selected for the ErrorDialog setting of the dialog that contains this control.

This setting contains a numeric identifier for the control that is unique within the dialog. This identifier is the same as a resource identifier in Visual C++. You should not change the control identifiers for any of the controls that are included with a dialog by default.

If this is the only control on the dialog that you want to be the default control, which means that it is activated when the end user presses the ENTER key, select True. The Next or OK button is usually the default control.

This setting is enabled if you select Bitmap or Icon for the Control Style setting.

Enter the path to and the name of the image file that you want to use for this control, or click the ellipsis button (...) in this setting to browse to it. InstallShield adds the file to your release at build time. The file must be stored as a binary resource in the installation.

This setting is enabled if Bitmap or Icon are selected for the Control Style setting.

Assuming that your icon file has more than one resource, specify the size of the image that you want to use for the control. The Use first image option causes the first image in the file to be displayed and makes it stretch to fit the size of the control, regardless of what you specify for the Stretch to Fit setting.

This setting is enabled if Bitmap or Icon are selected for the Control Style setting.

Specify the distance from the left edge of the dialog to the start of the control in installer units (1/12 of the height of the system font).

Enter the name of a property that is set when an end user selects this check box. This property can be unique to this control; it does not need to be present in the Property Manager view.

To set a default value for this control, make sure the property is a public property by giving it a name that contains only uppercase letters, use the Property Manager view to add the public property, and then assign to it the Value setting.

To turn this check box into a push button control, select True; otherwise, select False.

For English and other languages that are written from left to right, select False. For Hebrew and those languages that are read from right to left, select True.

To give the control’s edges a recessed, three-dimensional appearance, select True. To use the default visual style for the control, select False.

Indicate whether this control receives focus within the tab order. True indicates that the control receives focus; False indicates that the control does not receive focus.

Select the font style, size, and color (if available) in which you want the control’s label to be displayed. Leaving the value as <Default> displays the font that is contained in the DefaultUIFont property.

This setting is enabled if Text is selected for the Control Style setting.

Specify the distance from the top of the dialog to the top of the control in installer units (1/12 of the height of the system font).

True means that the control is visible, and False means that it is hidden. You can also make the control visible by editing its condition in the Behavior area for the dialog.
