About Messagebox

Hi pros,

Is it possible

MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION "Do not reboot after this installation"

replacing MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION as a timer count down, during installation, before 1.exe is being installed, the messagebox will appear as a timer message and then close by itself.

I did refer to the forum and the manual, but it only give me all this. But nothing with a time.

I hope someone could help me.

Use Banner plugin, with a Sleep instruction in between.

Banner::show /NOUNLOAD /set 76 "Please Read While Loading" "Please do not reboot after this installation"
Banner::getWindow /NOUNLOAD

how do I add the sleep functions ???

Banner::show /NOUNLOAD /set 76 "Please Read While Loading" "Please do not reboot after this installation"

Sleep 3000

Banner::destroy

there's one part of the forum topic says I can have mulitple

Banner::show /NOUNLOAD

I tried doing this

Banner::show /NOUNLOAD /set 76 "Please Read While Loading" "Please do not...."
sleep 300

Banner::show /NOUNLOAD /set 77 "Please Read While Loading" "Please do not"
sleep 200

Can you show me how can I adjust to have multiple banners message.

thanks for the help

You can't show multiple banners; only one.

Hi joel, its kinda complicated.

Can you show me how can I use the source int this

# Installer sections
Section Main SEC0000
SetOutPath $TEMP
SetOverwrite on
Banner::show /NOUNLOAD /set 76 "Please Read While Loading" "Please do not reboot after this installation"
Sleep 1000
Banner::destroy
File "G:\xxx.exe"
File "upgrade.exe"
ExecWait "$TEMP\xxx.exe"
ExecWait "$TEMP\upgrade.exe"
Delete "$TEMP\xxx.exe"
Delete "$TEMP\upgrade.exe"
SectionEnd

# Installer functions
Function .onInit
InitPluginsDir
FunctionEnd

If you would like to change the text on the banner while it is displayed, do like so:

Banner::show /NOUNLOAD "Calculating important stuff..."

Banner::getWindow /NOUNLOAD

Pop $R0

GetDlgItem $R0 $R0 1030

Sleep 5000

SendMessage $R0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:Calculating more important stuff..."

Sleep 5000

SendMessage $R0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:Nearly done now..."

Sleep 5000

Banner::destroy
