InstallShield 2012 Spring Express Edition User Guide

Chapter 28: End-User Dialogs
Global Dialog Settings for All End-User Dialogs
When you click the Dialogs explorer in the Dialogs view, InstallShield displays the following global
dialog settings.
Table 28-1: Global Dialog Settings
Setting Description
Global Dialog Image Enter the path and file name of the image that you want to use as the global dialog
image, or click the ellipsis button (...) to browse to the file. Every dialog in the project
with a large, full-dialog image—such as Install Welcome—displays this file as its image.
The image fills the entire dialog space and must be 499 pixels wide by 312 pixels high.
InstallShield uses the value that you enter for this setting as the default value in the
Bitmap Image setting for each dialog that has a full-dialog bitmap image. To override the
image selection for an individual dialog, select that dialog in the Dialogs view, and then
modify the path in the Bitmap Image setting.
Note: InstallShield uses the image that you specify for the Global Dialog Image setting
for dialogs that are not listed in the Dialogs view. One example is the dialog that is
displayed when the installation is interrupted. Therefore, you should provide a global
dialog image if you want to alter the visual presentation of the installation.
Caution: If you change the value of the Bitmap Image setting for a particular dialog and
then you change the value of this Global Dialog Image setting, the value in the Bitmap
Image setting is overwritten with the value in the Global Dialog Image setting.
Global Dialog Banner Enter the path and file name of the image that you want to use as the global dialog
banner, or click the ellipsis button (...) to browse to the file. Every dialog in the project
that displays a banner image across the top of the dialog—such as License
Agreement—displays this file as the banner. The image must be 499 pixels wide by 58
pixels high.
InstallShield uses the value that you enter for this setting as the default value in the
Banner Image setting for each dialog that has a banner image. To override the image
selection for an individual dialog, select that dialog in the Dialogs view, and then modify
the path in the Banner Image setting.
Caution: If you change the value of the Banner Image setting for a particular dialog and
then you change the value of this Global Dialog Banner setting, the value in the Banner
Image setting is overwritten with the value in the Global Dialog Banner setting.
Global Dialog Theme Dialog themes are predefined sets of images that give your end-user dialogs a unified
and distinctive look. Select the dialog theme that you want to use for the dialogs in your
project. For more information, see Dialog Themes.
