Dialog properties for a sub-dialog

To view and set properties for a sub-dialog:

  1. Open the sub-dialog by double-clicking on the button for the sub-dialog in the main dialog, or single-click the sub-dialog button and click the ellipsis (...) button for the Sub-dialog property.
  2. In the sub-dialog, click on the canvas in an area outside of any controls. With no controls on the canvas, the properties for a sub-dialog are always visible.

Sub-dialog Name. The unique identifier for the sub-dialog. The Sub-dialog Name property is required.

Note: If you specify the Sub-dialog Name as an identifier in the Script Template--as in %%My Sub-dialog Name%%--it will be replaced at run-time with a blank-separated list of the script generated by each control in the sub-dialog, in the order in which they appear (top to bottom and left to right).

Title. Specifies the text to be displayed in the title bar of the sub-dialog box. The Title property is optional but recommended.

Help File. Specifies the path to an optional help file for the sub-dialog. This is the file that will be launched when the user clicks the Help button on the sub-dialog, and may be the same help file specified for the main dialog. Help files must be in HTML format. See the description of the Help File property for Dialog Properties for more information.
