Corresponding function in NSIS for 'SdShowMsg' in InstallShield
Hi,

Is there any corresponding function for 'SdShowMsg' function available in InstallShield is available in NSIS. As the 'SdShowMsg' of InstallShield provides a simple way to display an informative message that remains on screen while script processing continues.

Please give me a solution for this.

Regards

You can show banner's using the Banner plugin (Contrib\Banner)
You also have the MessageBox command which will halt the installer.

Thabks for reply... Actually I am forced to use MessageBox instead of Banner... but the problem goes like this..

I have my own dll, which internally waits for some user input for 1 minute, but if the user gives that particular input, then proceeds on with the installation by displaying the next page. So irespective of the waiting period, I need the message box without any OK/CANCEL button. Can u suggest me how can I solve this problem. Can we make a message box without any button.

Thanks and Regards
Venu

Why can't you use the Banner plug-in? That's exactly what it does.
