Unable to implement Custom Dialogs

[sachit1349]

Hi all,

I have just started working in InstallScript and I am not able to overwrite or clear the text which I have already written in the custom dialog window. I want to display 10 Names one after the other after a delay of 10 seconds each, every time clearing the previous name.

Please help.

Thanks,

What is the code that fails? In what way does it fail?

Thanks a lot.....
Was able to implement custom dialogs.

What i am struck with is that I am not able to display text. For example.

I want to display text as above in the same dialog window and same text area and will disable the NEXT BACK CANCEL button till the above text is being displayed. Is their any function which can do this or some way this could be implemented?

Looking forward to your advice and help.

I'm not sure that custom dialog boxes support timer events, so there might not be an easy way.

Having said that, if you just want status information, you can call SdShowMsg several times in a row; or else perhaps enable the status window with Enable(STATUSEX) or the like, and then call SetStatusWindow a few times? The help topic "SetStatusWindow Example" contains just that...

Can you suggest any other way of implementing the same thing but I do want to use Dialog to implement that?
