Provide the user with installation options, such
as which files are copied during installation. This command defines
the file groups and creates a dialog box detailing the user's
choices. It is generally used to provide different installation
options, such as adding the program documentation to the complete
installation, instead of including only the program files for a
light installation.
Your options include:
- Caption: The dialog box title.
- Prompt: The message that instructs the user to select one or
more items in the dialog box.
- Selecting whether the options use check boxes or radio buttons.
Check boxes let the user select one or more items. They are
displayed in a scrollable list. Radio buttons let the user select
only one item. You can create up to 24 check boxes and radio
buttons, but only the first 8 buttons appear in the dialog box. If
you have a lot of options, you can divide them into subgroups of
the original group.
- Selecting a bitmap to display on the left side of the message
box. The bitmap should be 125 pixels wide and 275 pixels high. It
can have up to 256 colors.
- Entering the name of the selectable item in the Item name box
and assign it an identification number. This number is used by the
File command to determine which files are installed. It can also be
used in an If statement. You can also set the item to be selected
by default. The user can select it or deselect it during
installation.
- Text: A more detailed description of the item.
- Item name, Selected, and Text: Repeated so that you can enter
multiple items at once.
