Variable Edit Dialogs

  The variables edit dialogs are displayed when you click the Edit link in the variable selection dialogs for compiler and installer variables. For installer variables this dialog can also be accessed from the "Installer Variables" tab of the configuration of an installer application on the Screens & Actions tab.
  The dialog contains the same controls as the Compiler Variables tab in the General Settings step. Upon closing the dialog with the OK button, the contents of the tree in the variable selection dialog will be updated.
  Unlike compiler variables, installer variables do not have to be strings. In order to support variable types that are commonly used by form components, the installer variable edit dialog offers several value types:
  • Undefined
    If you just wish to document and categorize an installer variable, leave the type as "Undefined". The variable value will be set at runtime when the variable is first bound or assigned to.
  • String
    An instance of java.lang.String
  • Integer
    An instance of java.lang.Integer
  • Long
    An instance of java.lang.Long
  • Boolean
    An instance of java.lang.Boolean
  • String array
    An instance of java.lang.String[]. Enter the array entries surrounded by quotes and separated by commas. Use the backslash to quote quotes and backslashes.
  • Int array
    An instance of int[]. Enter the array entries surrounded separated by commas.
