Creating Custom Dialog Boxes
1. Open the dialog box in the Custom Dialog Editor.
See
Editing Dialog Boxes
on page 120.
2. Select Layout menu > Set Tab Order.
A blue number appears next to each dialog box control, showing the current tab
sequence. The first control in the tab order has the focus when a dialog box is first
displayed.
3. Specify the new tab order by clicking the controls in the desired order.
As you click each control, its number turns black.
When you click the last control, the numbers disappear and the new tab order is
applied.
To exit the tab order view, press Esc.
Note
Although static controls (example: graphics, text messages, divider lines, and so
on) are included in the tab order, they are ignored when the end user presses the
Tab key. Therefore, their actual tab order is irrelevant.
Solutions for Dialog Box Problems
Typically, dialog boxes are not used in WiseScripts that run silently, or in WiseScripts
that you use as custom actions in a Windows Installer installation. The information in
this section is provided in case you open or edit WiseScripts that contain dialog boxes.
