Summary

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.
