variable is set to "A." That is why all four radio buttons are enabled when the end user
backs up, because the variable does not contain "a," "b," "c," or "d."
A single Custom Dialog script action can display a set of related dialog boxes. You do
this by using a button on one dialog box as a gateway to another dialog box. This
secondary dialog box can link to another dialog box, link back to the master dialog box,
or return to the installation script. A single dialog box set can contain up to 256 separate
dialog boxes.
Generally, dialog box sets consist of one dialog box and the other dialog boxes that it
calls. (Example: A dialog box might have an Options and Browse buttons, each of which
opens a dialog box. The three dialog boxes together comprise a dialog box set.) The
main dialog boxes that appear during installation are not a dialog box set, but are
controlled by a Wizard Loop action in the script.
1. Create the master dialog box.
See Adding a Dialog Box to the Installation
The master dialog box is the first dialog box that is displayed when the associated
Custom Dialog script action is executed.
2. In the Custom Dialog Editor, select File menu > New Dialog.
The Dialog Box Properties dialog box appears.
3. Complete the dialog box and click OK.
See Setting Dialog Box Properties
4. Configure the new dialog box.
See Adding and Editing Dialog Box Controls
5. Link the set of dialog boxes together using push button controls. For information on
the various actions you can assign to a button, see
page 133. You can link to another dialog box, link back to the master dialog box, or
return to the installation script.
To switch between dialog boxes in the set, select the dialog boxes from the Window
menu. (You can also delete the current dialog box using the Delete Dialog command
on this menu.)
6. When you finish creating the dialog box set, select File menu > Save Changes and
exit.
All the dialog boxes in the set are saved simultaneously.
On the Dialog Set Properties dialog box, you name the dialog box set and specify the
variable on which to base the display of this set.
1. Open a dialog box from the set in the Custom Dialog Editor.
