Can I Set Condition For A Replacment In "Text File Changes" in Installshield 2011?

Question

I'm using "Text File Changes" feature in IS2011. I have a file and I want to replace 2 strings:

replace the string always
replace the string only if a checkbox was checked by user in install dialog

How can I set a condition for a replacement in Installshield 2011?

Thanks !

In IS2010, I've done conditionalized "Text File Changes" operations by creating a separate, empty component that I associate the TextFileChange item with.

You can then place a condition on the component.

Well I realized that you can't put a condition in a replacement which I don't understand why Flexera did not implemented it in Installshield.
However for a workaround I replace the string with itself case the preoperty that replaces it has not changed.
