Adding Hot Text Controls

Use the Hot Text control to link an action to specific text. (Example: Add hot text with a
link to a Web page or to a different dialog box.) Hot text changes color and might also
become underlined as the mouse pointer passes over it.
1. Open the dialog box in the Custom Dialog Editor.
See Editing Dialog Boxes
2. Select Add menu > Hot Text.
The Hot Text Control Settings dialog box appears.
3. Complete the dialog box:
Label
Enter the text to use as hot text.
Variable
Specify the name of the script variable that stores the return value of this dialog
box control.
Value
Enter the value that gets assigned to the variable if this button is clicked. This
can be useful in a script when you need to know which hot text the end user
clicked.
Control Name
Enter the name by which you will refer to this control in the dialog box script.
Leave this blank if you will not manipulate this control with a script.
Action
Select an action for the control:
Return to Previous Dialog
Displays the previously-displayed dialog box in the dialog box set.
(Exception: The Back buttons on wizard dialog boxes do not use this option.
They are controlled by the Wizard Loop script action.) If this is the first
dialog box in the set, it returns to the installation script.
Return to Script
Returns to the installation script, even if this dialog box was called from
another dialog box in the dialog box set.
Display Dialog
Displays the selected dialog box from the current set.
Abort Installation
The end user is asked to confirm that the installation should be aborted.
Display Help Context
If the HELPFILE variable points to a valid copy of a Windows help file, the
specified numeric help context is displayed.
Execute Program
Starts another application or links to a Web page. Click Edit to specify and
configure the application to be started.
