More controls on forms with MUI
Hi,

I'm looking for a way to get other controls on forms using the ModernUI, either at design time (with extra things in the .ini file), or at run-time (by using the system plugin to call the right api to add them).

In particular, I was wanting the adobe/macromedia flash control on my form, or alternatively some html browser/rendering engine. I know those are probably the hardest controls to support, but they would allow the greatest flexibility for the user.

Alternatively, I'm wanting some way to show a slide show during installation, however due to NSIS not supporting effective multithreading this is hard. For example, I want to be able to show my slide show at the same time as extracting a large file, and the slides must be able to change during the extraction.

Thanks

go to the nsis wiki, there's a plugin for IE render control :)

The following page shows how to add a changing image to the instfiles page. You could also use the same technique to add an AVI control.
