While RayPack tries to represent the edited controls to match the Windows 8 look and feel, some values and run-time settings can be only seen when the actual session is running.
In order to see a preview of the Window, rendered and running by the actual Installer session, press the Preview button from the properties sidebar.
For example, the two pictures below show the same dialog, once (the left one) as seen in RayPack while editing, and once (the right one) as seen when the MSI is actually running.
Some things that may require previewing:
•The usage of MSI Properties: left picture - properties are unresolved ([ProductName]), right one - properties are resolved (RayPack)
•Hidden controls, condition: left picture - some controls are defined as hidden and have dynamic conditions; right one - conditions are resolved and only visible controls are shown
To end the preview mode, focus the main window of RayPack and press the CLOSE PREVIEW button.
Note: Pressing the X button in the previewed dialog will not have any result. |
