Description
|
|
|
•
|
For many of the panel-specific options described in InstallerBuilder Options, you can provide Maple procedures. These procedures run during installation to complete specified tasks, and their results can control the installation.
|
|
|
These procedures need access to data that is in the installer, supplied by a user earlier in the installation process, or supplied by another customized procedure. The ToolboxInstaller[Data] package allows you to save and access this data.
|
|
•
|
The ToolboxInstaller[Data][Set] command accepts any number of arguments of the form optionN = valueN, where optionN is a string and valueN can be any Maple object. The Set command assigns the value valueN to the string optionN.
|
|
•
|
The ToolboxInstaller[Data][Get] command accepts any number of arguments of the form optionN, where optionN is a string, and returns the stored value.
|
|
•
|
You can use Set and Get to create and query custom references, or you can query data automatically set by the installer. The built-in installer data is as follows.
