After the new UDI custom wizard page has been added to the New Computer stage group, the appropriate controls need to be added to the new custom wizard page. The controls are added to the custom wizard page from the Build Your Own Page toolbox, which is displayed when you view the custom wizard page on the Configure tab in the UDI Wizard Designer.

Table 38 lists the types of controls to your custom wizard page, which is illustrated in Figure 1.

Table 38. Types of Controls in the UDI Build Your Own Page Toolbox

Control type

Description

Checkbox

This control allows you to select or clear a configuration option and behaves as a traditional user interface (UI) check box. This control has a corresponding label that you can use to describe the purpose of the check box. The state of this control is True when the check box is selected and False when the check box is cleared. The state of the check box is stored in the task sequence variable configured for this control. For more information on this control, see Checkbox Control in the MDT document, Toolkit Reference.

Combobox

This control allows you to select an item from a list of items and behaves as a traditional UI drop-down list. This control allows you to add or remove items from the list and provide a corresponding value that will be set in the task sequence variable configured for this control. For more information on this control, see Combobox Control in the MDT document, Toolkit Reference.

Line

This control allows you to add a horizontal line to divide one portion of the custom wizard page from another. This control does not collect any configuration values but rather is used to visually enhance the UI. For more information on this control, see Line Control in the MDT document, Toolkit Reference.

Label

This control allows you to add descriptive, read-only text to the wizard page. This control does not collect any configuration values but rather is used to visually enhance the UI. For more information on this control, see Label Control in the MDT document, Toolkit Reference.

Radio

This control allows you to select one configuration option from a group of two or more options. As with traditional radio buttons, two or more of these controls can be grouped together, and then the user can select one of the options in the radio button group. A unique value is assigned to each option. The value assigned to the selected option control is saved in the task sequence variable configured for this control. For more information on this control, see Radio Control in the MDT document, Toolkit Reference.

Bitmap

This control allows you to add a bitmap graphic (.bmp file) to the custom wizard page. This control does not collect any configuration values but rather is used to visually enhance the UI. The path to the .bmp file is relative to the location of the UDI Wizard (OSDSetupWizard.exe). For more information on this control, see Bitmap Control in the MDT document, Toolkit Reference.

Textbox

This control allows you to enter text on the custom wizard page. The text typed into this control is saved in the task sequence variable configured for this control. For more information on this control, see Textbox Control in the MDT document, Toolkit Reference.

 

You can add any combination of these controls to your custom wizard page based on the information you want to collect. In addition, you can use the Show Gridlines check box to show or hide gridlines that can be used to assist in visually designing the custom wizard page.

For the purposes of this example, you will create a custom wizard page as illustrated in Figure 1.
