Navigation Button Properties

The navigation button specifies the next installation dialog to appear and can initiate different actions. A navigation button appears at the bottom of the installation dialog.

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.

Action

Indicates the action that is invoked when the navigation button is clicked. Select one of the following actions:

Cancel

Aborts the installation

Install

Installs the product

Next dialog

Starts the next dialog

Remove

Removes the installed product

Previous dialog

Returns to the previous dialog

Dynamic dialog

Determines the name of the next dialog by executing a shell script, and starts that dialog

Next dialog (when Next dialog was chosen as Action)

Indicates the name of the dialog that is shown when the navigation button is selected.

Script (when Dynamic dialog was chosen as Action)

Indicates the name of the script that detects the next dialog. Select a script from the drop-down list or click the browse button (...) to browse for a script. The script file must have been added to the pre-installation component.
For example, a dialog validation script can be specified that verifies all values entered in the dialog. The values entered are passed as shell parameters to this script. If one of the entered values is not correct, the script must return a value from 1 to 255, which refers to an error text in the Resource section of the prototype file.

Icon file

Indicates the icon that appears in the button. The icon file must have been added to the pre installation component.

Label

Describes the text that appears in the button.

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.
