Progress Label Properties

The progress label usually leads a progress bar and informs the user about the current install action (for example, install, backup, remove), or the name of the file or component currently being installed.

You can drag and drop the progress label icon from the toolbox to the work area only if you have specified that you are creating a progress dialog, that is, the Presentation field in the Dialog properties is set to Progress.

You can set the following property for the progress label:

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.

Type

Indicates the type of information displayed. Choose one of the following types from the drop-down list.

Action

Indicates the current install action.

Component

Indicates the name of the component being installed.

File

Indicates the name of the file being installed.

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.
