I'm trying to create custom Finish dialog, which would not include check boxes but only large text field.

I'v modified the resources (check boxes and second text field were removed and first text field was stretched as much as possible) and wrote script for dialog.

But while testing I'v found that text background is not white
but gray.

It seems that InstallShield makes something with text fields to force them to have white background.

But what ?

Hold on there, you don't need to create a custom dialog to hide the check boxes.  You just have to pass a null string for the options.  The code would be the following:

szTitle = "Setup Complete";
szMsg = "The setup is complete.";
SdFinish(szTitle, szMsg, "", "", "", bvOpt1, bvOpt2);

Where paramaters 3 and 4 control the check boxes.

Thanks for Your reply, but my goal is not just to remove check boxes, but to free more space for text - I need larger text fields to place more information that can be placed in standard text fields.

If my problem can be solved by reading InstallShield help,
I should not posted my question.

Alrighty then.

As for the help file, it's one thing for it to be in there.  It's a whole 'nother thing to find it and know about it, so just thought I'd check.

hello, alexey!

why don't you want to place a picture behind your text box? it could help to solve your problem

[Alexey Masanov]

In this case text bacground is still grey.
So there is must be something else.

(By the way InstallShield makes covering text field with ID=52 white, and places other text fields, that contain some text over this white text field. But text in standard text fields shown normally - on white background. Text in modifyed text field is on gray background.)

still gray??? do you use a picture with properties rectangle\white? i've done it, it works!
IS does something else, but the result is the same!

[Alexey Masanov]

Yes - rectangle/white.
But still no result
