Creating Properties in Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI Projects
InstallShield 2015
Project: This information applies to the following project types:
Edition: The Advanced UI project type is available in the Professional edition of InstallShield. The Suite/Advanced UI project type is available in the Premier edition of InstallShield. For information about the differences between these two project types, see Advanced UI Projects vs. Suite/Advanced UI Projects.
You can create your own project-wide properties through the Property Manager. These properties allow you to set a value in one place and use it throughout your project.
To create a property:
|
1.
|
In the View List under Behavior and Logic, click Property Manager. |
|
2.
|
Click the New Property button. InstallShield adds a new row at the bottom of the view. |
|
3.
|
In the Name column, enter a name for the new property. |
|
4.
|
In the Value column, enter a value for the property. |
|
5.
|
In the Formatted column, select or clear the check box, which lets you indicate whether the text that you entered in the Value column is formatted. |
|
•
|
To leave the property value (including square brackets and the content within them) as is, clear the Formatted check box. |
Tip: Use the following guidelines when entering values in the Property Manager view:
|
•
|
To overwrite all of the text in a table cell, click the table cell and then type your new property name, value, or comments. |
|
•
|
To place the cursor at a particular place within a table cell, double-click that place. Then type your change. |
