Hi to all,
just a curiosity...
browsing IS help I run into some script function begining with Ez (EzBatchxxx, EzConfigyyy and EzDefineDialog), what Ez prefix stay for?
I know, for example, Sdxxx function are script dialog box functions, so Sd stay for "scrip Dialog", but I didn't find Ez explanations.
And, while we are at it, what about Ctrlxxx functions? I think Ctrl = control, but what control does it refers?
Thanks.
Ciao, Giuseppe
P.S. I'm always curios about InstallShield product history, anecdotes, and so on...

There are also things like RegDBGetKeyValueEx and RegDBSetKeyValueEx which have an Ex on the end.

Ok, I had an answer on the official InstallShield web forum.
So Ez stay for "easy" (to do) because pronuncing it it's quite similar (phonetcis).
The "Ez" functions are opposed to the "advanced" function (i.e. EzBatchAddPath vS. BatchAdd and so on...).
I suppose the "Ex" into RegDBGetKeyValueEx and RegDBSetKeyValueEx stay for extended but I'm not sure.

Yeah, I would agree that Ez means extended due to things like SdRegisterUser and SdRegisterUserEx where the latter has an additional field for the serial number.
