Creating a Custom Dialog Box Script
Use the Custom Dialog Editor to change the appearance of installation dialog boxes and
to create new dialog boxes. You can edit and create default dialog box templates, add
interactivity to dialog boxes, and work with dialog box sets, and translate dialog box text
to other languages.
Typically, dialog boxes are not used in WiseScripts that run silently, or in WiseScripts
that you use as custom actions in a Windows Installer installation. The information in
this section is provided in case you open or edit WiseScripts that contain dialog boxes.
The Custom Dialog Editor is a built-in utility.
Use it to do the following:
Create new dialog boxes
Edit dialog boxes
Set dialog box properties
Create a dialog box set
Add interactivity to dialog boxes
