More Minor Issues

[NewsArchive]

Hello,

1. Options > Language > Edit > Update Identifier. "Category" and "Resource
Group" use Clarion DropDowns - Cannot handle Clear Type Font.

2. F1 on that screen (Update Identifier) does not go to any online help.

3. Options > Languages > Edit (Title bar just shows a file, doesn't have
any topic) - Also, F1 goes to nothing.

4. I am finding, quite reguarly that the script editor is changing my code.

The code:

Loop Wizard
Wizard Auto Break
End

Has changed automagically at least five times to:

Loop Wizard
End
Wizard Auto Break

Ok, I figured it out - when I add/insert a LOOP, it automatically changes
the above code. Ok, I'm not crazy - I duplicated it. :-)


5. When checking for Files-Inuse, the screen goes blank for about 3 seconds
.... meaning, dialog disappears, everything disappear. Is there a way around
that in my script coding?

I am using this right now ... and want to clean it up some more later:

[ User Interface ]
Define Wizard Dialog "#1" (Welcome)
Define Wizard Dialog "#2" (License Agreement)
Define Wizard Dialog "#3" (Readme)
Define Wizard Dialog "#4" (Select Install Folder)
Define Wizard Dialog "#5" (Select Setup Types [Advanced])
Define Wizard Dialog "#6" (Ready to Install)
Loop Wizard
Wizard Auto Break
End

Set Variable %IQ_FILES_INUSE% to Check In-use Folder Tree "%_SB_INSTALLDIR%"
If %IQ_FILES_INUSE% Equals "1" Then
Define Wizard Dialog "#1" (List Box)
Define Wizard Dialog "#2" (Finish)
Loop Wizard
Wizard Auto Break
End
Exit Installation
End

Display Setup Progress Dialog


6. I cannot comment in/out "Exit Installation" -- It ALWAYS comments out the
"End" line above. Even if I double click on "Exit Installation", or
whatever, when I double click on "Comment in/out", it just keeps commenting
out the "End" line above. (See #5 above for example code) --- UGH, ok ...
So I deleted Exit Installation - and it just deleted the above two lines of
my code instead. -- I exited and came back in, and now everything is fine
.... just looked like the lines were out of sync or something. Sorry I
couldn't be more helpful on this one. :-(


Anyway ... I just want to say, I love working with Setup Builder 5 - it's
just so neat because of all the control I have. I wouldn't even think about
going back to SB4. Friedrich is the best!


----

Here is the end result code I am going to use. You may want to add it to
your online help text so someone can copy and use it for their in-use file
checking:

Loop
Set Variable %FILES_INUSE% to Check In-use Folder Tree "%_SB_INSTALLDIR%"
If %FILES_INUSE% Equals "1" Then
Define Wizard Dialog "#1" (List Box)
Loop Wizard
Wizard Auto Break
End
Else
Break Loop
End
End

Thanks!

Hello Robert,

Thank you. I still have to replace some Clarion COMBO control with a
native Windows Combo box equivalent.

This will be fixed when the final documentation is available, thank you!

ditto.

Would it be possible for you to send me a demo script? I cannot reproduce
this here at the moment :-(

Seems to be an event processing problem. I'll check this, thank you.

Very strange... I'll check the source code.

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Thank you. Code snippet will be added to the documentation.
