File Selection Properties

The file selection button lets you select a file for the PIF package.

You can set the following properties:

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

Describes the name of the parameter that contains the files. The parameter name starts with the dollar character ($) 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 file. This value is shown the first time the file selection field is presented on an installation dialog.

Parameter type

Indicates the type of the parameter - Standard or Command.

Script

Validation script. This script is executed when the user exits the installation dialog. If the validation script detects an error, it must return a value from 1 to 255, which refers to an error message defined in the Resource section of the prototype file. The validation script file must have been added to the pre-installation component.

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.
