Check Box Properties

A check box can have the values True (the check box is checked) or False (the check box is cleared), that is, an item from the installation dialog can be selected (True) or not (False). Check boxes are used, for example, to select optional components to install or to configure product properties.

The following properties can be set:

Ctrl name

Indicates the name of a dialog element. Control names within the dialog editor are predefined by the GUI. There is no need to change these names. However, if for some reason you want to change the name, you can do so for a selected element by changing the value in this field.

Parameter

Indicates the name of the parameter that contains the check box value. The parameter name starts with the dollar sign ($), and consists of a maximum of 64 characters, including the dollar sign. The following characters are not allowed within a parameter name:
.   ;   :   \t   \n   \\   \"  /

Value

Indicates the default value of the check box. Choose true or false from the drop-down list. If true is chosen, the check box will contain a check mark. False provides an empty check box on the installation dialog.

Parameter list

Indicates the set of value assignments in the following format:
$PARAM1=value_1,$PARAM2=value_2, ..., $PARAMn=value_n.
When the check box is checked, the values are assigned to the parameters.

Disabled list

Indicates the set of value assignments in the following format:
$PARAM1=value_1,$PARAM2=value_2, ..., $PARAMn=value_n.
When the check box is cleared, the values are assigned to the parameters.

Label

Describes the text shown next to the check box. The text string can consist of a maximum of 1024 characters.

Action Script

Indicates the script that is executed when the check box is selected. Choose a script from the drop-down list or click the browse button to browse for a script.

Info text

Displays additional information when the mouse is placed over the check box.

Font

Defines the font to be used for displaying the text. Clicking the browse icon displays the Font Chooser dialog where you can add or change font specifications.

Enabled

Controls that the element is activated (or deactivated) by default. If you want to disable a specific field that is only activated on a specific event, you can use this property.
