Using Shortcuts dialog

[stevo.zilik]

Hi,

adding a Shortcuts dialog among Firtst Install Dialogs allows user to create application shortcuts. How to use that dialog , so it really does something. It is displayed during installation, but no Icons are created. What needs to be done to create those shortcuts ?

thanx

Hi,

You need to create the shortcuts yourself in the Files and Folders page.

Kind regards,
Adriana

Thanx for answer.

I know how to create those shortcuts, but I don't know how to create them depending on what user chose (in that shortcuts dialog).

Hi,

To create them depending on what user chooses you should use the "Shortcut Wizard".

Best regards,
Adriana

Hi,

there is no dependency setting in ShortCuts wizard (in Files, Folders and Shortcuts).

Hi,

As I mentioned above, you need to create the required shotcuts in the Files and Folders page and add the ShortcutsDlg dialog to your project. The shortcuts will exist or not after the package is installed depending on the checkboxes selected by the user.

AI uses a Custom Action that deletes the shortcut rows from the in-memory Shortcut table depending on the user selection in the Shortcuts dialog (that is, depending whether the Properties attached to the checkboxes are set or not).

Adriana
