Adding Play AVI Controls

You can play an animation on any of the installation dialog boxes by adding a Play AVI
dialog box control. (Example: You might want to provide marketing information or offer
animated help on how to install your application.) The .AVI will play once or loop
continuously.
1. Open the dialog box in the Custom Dialog Editor.
See Editing Dialog Boxes
2. Select Add menu > Play AVI.
The Play AVI Control Settings dialog box appears.
3. Complete the dialog box:
.AVI Pathname
Specify the path for the animation file (.AVI) to play on the dialog box.
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.
X-Position / Y-Position
Specify the exact location of the control on the dialog box. You can also use the
alignment commands to precisely arrange controls on the dialog box.
See Aligning and Spacing Dialog Box Controls
Note
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

Adding Push Button Controls

Push buttons are simply buttons (example: OK or Cancel). When clicked, they perform
an action, such as saving the dialog box data, closing the dialog box, or advancing to the
next dialog box. Each dialog box must have at least one button that allows the end user
to exit the dialog box.
1. Open the dialog box in the Custom Dialog Editor.
