Special Indicators

RayPack shows additional indicators which are not visible when the actual Installer session is started. They help to navigate around and make it easier to edit the advanced connections between packages.

 

Events Indicator

If a control is enclosed with a "bolt" icon, then there are some event attached to it. For example, the following picture suggests that three navigational buttons (Back, Install, Change and Cancel) have a special functionality inside and are publishing events to control the installation.

In order to see and edit the events, right click a control and click on Properties... item. More information about editing the events can be found in this chapter.

 

Visibility Indicator

Controls that are not visible by default are displayed using a partially transparent layer.

For example, the Button control is hidden in the picture above, while the Change... button is visible.

 

MSI Property Placeholders

When an MSI Property is used, its value is shown unresolved in the dialog designer. For example, the picture below shows [ProductName] placeholder to indicate the value in this field is dynamic.
