MSI Factory

ID:

The unique ID of the text style. This will be used as the index for the item in the TextStyle table in your installer database.

Default text style:

If checked, this text style will be used for all user interface text in your installer unless a different style is explicitly specified. There can only be one default text style in your installer.

Face name:

The face name of the font to be used for this style. Note that you should use fonts that you are reasonably sure will be installed on the user's system such as Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana, etc. Fonts referenced from your installer are not embedded in the installer database and will not be installed for you. If you specify a font that the user does not have installed, Windows will choose another font for your text.

Font size (points):

The font size in points.

Use default color

If checked, the user's system color for dialog text will be used. If unchecked, you can choose a different custom color below.

Bold

If checked, the font will be bold.

Italic

If checked, the font will be italicized.

Underline

If checked, the font will be underlined.

Strikethrough

If checked, the font will have the strikethrough appearance.

To apply a style to control text, use the syntax:

{\TEXTSTYLE}TEXT

Where TEXTSTYLE is the ID of the text style to apply and TEXT is the text that it will be applied to. For example:

{\UI_Font_Title}This is Title Text
