Title
Include Billboards in the Suite Project Type

Summary

This article describes how-to include controls in a Suite Project to create Billboards

Synopsis

InstallShield contains a number of built-in controls and text styles that define text attributes such as color, size, and font name for the text on the Wizard UI. InstallShield also contains several built-in brush styles. A brush style specifies a solid color, a gradient, or an image for various elements of the wizard interface, such as the background of wizard pages and controls. You can edit any of the settings for these built-in styles, or define your own styles, through the Wizard Interface view in your Suite project.

In this article the use of a Billboard Control on a Suite Project panel is described.

Discussion

The steps involved to include Billboard Controls are:
  1. File > New > Suite project.
  2. Add a feature and package.
  3. Navigate to User Interface > Wizard Interface and open panel InstallationWelcome.
  4. Delete all of the existing controls (Right Click control names and select 'Delete').
  5. Select dropdown for the letter 'A' next to 'New Control'.
Billboard Control
  1. Add a Billboard control - this is expected to be the only control on the panel.
  2. Expand 'Style' and select SS_REALSIZECONTROL = True.
  3. Position 0,0,411,225.
  4. Under 'Images' set 'Resource' for Image 1 to the first image you intend to cycle through.
  5. Transition - Expand.
  6. Duration - 1 (for one second).
Repeat adding the 'Resources' (step 9 and later) for the number of billboards to cycle through on this panel. Note, on the subsequent panel(s) in your project you can do the same thing by including n-number of billboards when that particular panel is displayed.
