problems with grafic positioning

Hello,
I use the AI 7.1.3 corporate

In the dialog editor I have put the header grafic to coordinates x=0 and y=0

But when I run the installation the grafic is not at the top, there is a gap of 1 pixel, see clpEF5D.png

And the lines do not reach to the right border, there is little gap, see clpA2C1.png
I canot increase the width of these lines in the dialog edit.
x-pos is 0.

How to fix that?

Hello,

In order to have a better view about this, can you please send us the .AIP (project file) to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate it?

Re: problems with grafic positioning

Hello Christoph,

Indeed, the default Width size for the BottomLine from the WelcomeDlg is 372. Unfortunately, once you modiffied its size, the maximum value which you are allowed is 370.

In order to specify the 372 value you can edit the .AIP(project file) in a text editor and increase the Width value for the BottomLine control from the ROW Dialog_="WelcomeDlg".

Please let us know if that helped.

Best regards,

Re: problems with grafic positioning

Hi Christoph,

Please note that default dialog size of the samples supplied with the Microsoft Platform SDK are 370x270 installer units. That means the 370 is the right limitation.
Unfortunately, have been replied some gaps (as you noticed) so we used this hack( default 372 width size for the buttomLine). We need this in order to avoid the rendering issues for that line.

If you have other questions, please let us know.

Best regards,
