A dialog unit is based on the size of the dialog font, usually 8-point MS Sans
Serif. A horizontal dialog unit is 1/4 the average width of the font and a vertical
dialog unit is 1/8 the average height of the font.
Width / Height
Specify the exact dimensions of the control in dialog units. You can also resize
controls by dragging their handles, though this is not as precise.

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.
