InstallShield 2012 Spring Express Edition User Guide

Chapter 2: Getting Started
Working with the InstallShield Interface
• To remove a column header from the group box, drag it from the group box area and drop it onto the
row of column headers. When you are dragging it over the row of column headers, InstallShield
displays arrows to indicate where in the row the column header would be displayed if you dropped
it.
• To sort the items in the grid by a particular column header, click the column header in the group box
or in the row of column headers.
The following examples demonstrate different ways for using the group box to organize content in views.
Default Behavior: Empty Group Box Area
By default, no column headers are displayed in the group box. The following screen shot shows part of
the Redistributables view. Items are sorted by the Name column.

Grouping by One Column Header
If you press CTRL while dragging and dropping one column header onto the group box, InstallShield
arranges the rows in the grid into groups of items. The following screen shot shows part of the
Redistributables view. Rows are organized to help identify the redistributables that have been added to
the project (that is, the redistributables whose check box is selected).
