amazingly i can't find any info on these forums or on the homepage on how to create a screen. i want to edit a user-created screen that i downloaded that places two radio buttons on the "select shortcut folder" screen, for all users or single user. i wanted to add a "do not create shortcuts" radio button as well. so not being able to find any info i opened the dat file in the screen's folder. makes no sense to me, but the code refernces the radio buttons by name, eg CTRL_RADIOBTN_ALLUSERS, yet there is no section that actually names or creates the control. how the heck? how does this work? there should be a sticky about this also, imo. the SDK doesn't appear to be the correct thing.

There is really no way to add a checkbox to the select shortcut folder screen. If anything, you could insert a checkboxes screen before the select shortcut folder screen that asks if the user wants to create shortcuts and then only show the select shortcut folder screen if they do.

hi,
this screen that i downloaded already has added radio buttons. pretty sure it was a user created one. there's no way to add a third radio button?
what i would really like to know is how people create custom screens. because i can't figure it out. i don't understand how a screen's dat file only mentions the objects in code, but nowhere does it seem to create the objects and designate what is actually on the screen...

That screen ships with Setup Factory 7.0. It was created by us as a "Select Shortcut" screen. As Brett said there is no way to add a radio button to this screen.

oh, ok. thanks. i think maybe i was thiking of SF6 which didn't have a built-in option for All Users or single user.
guess i can do without that "no shortcuts" feature anyways.
