Loading Message Box
Is there a way to display a messagebox while something is loading, and when its done loading, the messagebox disappears?
for example: the messagebox before the setup loads

Thank you

MessageBox halts the script, so thats no good for you. The easiest way to do what you want is with banner.

Like this:


Banner::show /NOUNLOAD "Please wait while stuff happens..."
Stuff
Banner::destroy

Just don't forget to destroy the banner, or you will have a process left over after the update closes. Hope this helps.

This is a very nice plugin which gives you a banner with a progress bar on it too which you can change to whatever % you like!
