Insight #4 - Custom Dialog Model

As mentioned in a previous SetupBuilder Insight, the high-end edition of
SetupBuilder 7 will provide a Visual Dialog Editor for quickly customizing
the user interface.

You can use the new Visual Dialog Editor (VDE) to create new dialogs from
scratch for your SetupBuilder application. You can visually design dialogs
and add items such as static text, text edit fields, graphics, checkboxes,
radio buttons, push buttons, combo boxes, list boxes, and more. The best
thing is that the powerful SetupScript scripting language provides built-in
interactivity to custom dialogs in SetupBuilder 7. Custom dialogs can
exhibit different behaviors based on end user input. Each custom dialog
lets you perform script actions in response to certain events inside a
dialog. You can manipulate controls in the custom dialog programmatically.

The following screenshots (dialogs compiled with SB7) should give you some
feel for the potential of the VDE's power as well as some hints on how to
go to implement it.

Friedrich,

As always, that looks fantastic! One question....

Is ..."the high-end edition of SetupBuilder 7"...

The same as the "Developer Edition" or is it something new/different?

Regards,
Kelly E Major

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, you really have sharp eyes ;-) And I hoped nobody
would notice the fine difference.

Well, your assumption is correct. The high-end edition of SetupBuilder 7 is
not Developer Edition. But we'll make an announcement soon.

We'll introduce a new SetupBuilder 7 edition called "Ultimate Edition":

- SetupBuilder 7.0 Standard Edition
- SetupBuilder 7.0 Developer Edition
- SetupBuilder 7.0 Ultimate Edition

SetupBuilder Ultimate Edition will be "The Ultimate Installation Tool for
Power Users". In addition to all functions found in Developer Edition, it
provides support for the Visual Dialog Editor, support for Mobile Devices
and support for MSI.

As previously said, an official announcement will follow soon. But I think
it is interesting to note that all Developer Edition users with a current
subscription will receive an option to upgrade to Ultimate Edition free of
charge.
