    Default Display an entire text file in Custom Dialog

    Friedrich,

    I need to display either a .txt or .rtf file full contents in a Custom Dialog. Sort of like the EULA dialog, but cannot figure out how to get the entire text file to display.

    Can you assist with a down and dirty simple script example? Cant seem to find one like that in the help files.

    You know, this product just keeps getting better and better, and I am finding ALL kinds of uses for it....

    Kel,

    Thanks so much for your kind words !!!

    You have two different options:

    1. In the RTF Cntrol, just select the .rtf file on your development machine in "RichEdit Pathname" and the compiler will embed the text into the setup.exe.

    -and/or-

    2. This is an undocumented feature (see attached screenshots)

    You can use the file:// macro to read the .rtf file directly from an existing file located on the target machine. Of course, you can even display a .rtf file that you have added as a "Support File" to your setup.exe.

    Does this help?
