Variable Edit Dialogs
-
The variables edit dialogs are displayed when you click the Edit link in the
variable selection dialogs
for compiler and installer variables. For installer variables this dialog can also be accessed
from the "Installer Variables" tab of the configuration of an installer application on the
Screens & Actions tab.
-
The dialog contains the same controls as the
Compiler Variables tab in the
General Settings step. Upon closing
the dialog with the [OK] button, the contents of the tree in the
variable selection dialog will be updated.
-
Unlike compiler variables, installer variables do not have to be strings.
In order to support variable types that are commonly used by form components,
the installer variable edit dialog offers several value types:
-
Undefined
If you just wish to document and categorize an installer variable, leave the type as
"Undefined". The variable value will be set at runtime when the variable is first bound or assigned to.
