Text Area Properties

A text area displays any text in an installation dialog. The text can exceed one line and is automatically wrapped within the dialog window.

We do not recommend using a text area and a text field in the same line of an installation dialog.

You can set the following properties for a text area:

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.

Label

Indicates the text that appears in the text area.

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.
