Map windows

When you double-click either a base map or driver map in the Repository window,
a Map window opens. Map windows are divided into two panes: the Tree
Structure pane and the Contents pane.

The left pane is the Tree Structure pane, which contains a root entry and
menu-item entries. In a base map, menu-item entries control the flow and content
of the menus displayed at the target computer during the installation process. In a
driver map, menu-item entries are optional. When used in a driver map,
menu-item entries enable a developer to annotate or label groups of device drivers
or assign filters to one or more groups of device-driver modules.

The right pane is the Contents pane, which includes all of the modules associated
with the menu-item entry selected in the Tree Structure pane.

Within the Map window, you can do the following:

v

Delete a menu item from the tree structure

v

Insert a menu item in the tree structure

v

Insert a module in the tree structure

v

Move a menu item up or down in the tree structure

v

Assign filter and utilities to menu items in the tree structure of a base-map

v

Assign filters to menu items in the tree structure of a driver map

Map Settings window

When a Map window is open, you can view or modify the settings associated with
that map. To open the Map Settings window, do the following:
1.

Open the desired map from the Repository window.

2.

In the Main window menu bar, click Tools, and then click Settings.... (Or, you
can right-click anywhere in the right pane, and select Settings...).

Base Map Appearance Under Windows PE

Under Windows PE, a base map appears within an actual windowing display. A
menu item can appear in the form of one of the following familiar Windows
controls:

v

Static text

v

Icon text

v

Edit box or Prompt

v

Checkbox

v

Radio button

Below are examples of these controls:

v

Static text: This control signifies unselectable text. It may be defined by creating
a menu item, the text of which begins with an ampersand (&) character and
which does not have a prompt variable associated with it. It does have a value
defined for the Icon setting in its properties, as well.

v

Icon text: This control also signifies unselectable text; and, like the Static text
control, the Icon text control also has no prompt variable associated with it. It
does have a value defined for the Icon setting in its properties, as well.
