The InstallerBuilder provides a set of built-in panels that display as the user installs the toolbox. Each panel displays or requests specific installation information from the user. Some panels are required. You can display or exclude the other panels. Each panel has attributes that you can customize.

The following options control panel-specific information.

For each panel, you can specify the following panel attribute options using the Maplet interface or calling sequence options (with the syntax panel_name=[panel_attribute_option1=value1, panel_attribute_option2=value2, ...]).

active = truefalse or procedure that returns true or false

Specifies whether the panel is displayed (active) during installation. If you specify a procedure, then the panel is displayed only if the result of the procedure call is true.

For the Welcome, Installation, and Finish panels, you cannot set the active attribute; it is always true. For the other panels, the default value is false.

image = string

Specifies an image to show in the installer panel.  The string must be the path to a valid GIF or JPEG image file. By default, no image is displayed.

script = procedure or none

Specifies a procedure to be executed after the panel is closed. If you specify none, no procedure is executed. The default value is none.

text = string or none

Specifies text displayed in the installer panel. It is recommended that you provide information to the user about the toolbox or installation process during installation. If you specify none, no text is displayed. The default value is none.

validate = true or procedure that returns true or false

When the user clicks the Next button, Maple tests this condition. The user cannot proceed to the next panel until the condition is true. The default value is true.
