StatusDlg.IsCancelled(); if/else not working for me.

I think you need to go back to the start and re-read the manual as no where does it say the Hide() function returns anything to do with the cancel function.

What you want to look at is

canned = StatusDlg.IsCancelled(); 

The reason your having problems is your not reading them, most functions follow the logic there named after there for Hide is NOT the right function, please go back and read the manual not guess them manual.

The manual and function dialog for StatusDlg.Hide() is clear it returns nothing not a dicky bird.

Hi ,
Yes your code was wrong as pointed out by kingzooly
I think there is a bug in the Iscancelled function going back to 7, tried different variants - didn't work
You could try this as it works -

StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONNONE, false);
StatusDlg.ShowCancelButton(true, "Cancel This Behemoth of an Install Process!");
--StatusDlg.SetTitle("Extracting Files....");
--canned = StatusDlg.Hide();
--StatusDlg.ShowCancelButton(true, "Abort");
Zip.Extract("AutoPlay\\Docs\\WinXP_Sample_Pics.zip", {"*.*"}, "C:\\Temp\\", true, true, "", ZIP_OVERWRITE_ALWAYS, nil);

if StatusDlg.IsCancelled() then
        StatusDlg.SetTitle("Cancelling extraction ...");
        Application.Sleep(5000);--Allows user to see title
        StatusDlg.Hide();
        Dialog.Message("Notice", "you have stopped the install please read this blah", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
        return false; --pressed abort-stop asap
        
        else
        
        Dialog.Message("Install finished", "You have finished the extraction now installing blah", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
        
        StatusDlg.Hide();
        return true; --continue copying
        
    end

Cheers

Hi graphix3000 sorry I missed your second post

Played around with your code again & realised canned variable was not being monitored, but if it put on timer it would be
checked at any time during extraction when cancel button pressed.
Page On Timer :

canned = StatusDlg.IsCancelled()

On Button (or whatever calls your code):

StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONNONE, false);
StatusDlg.ShowCancelButton(true, "Cancel This Behemoth of an Install Process!");
--canned = StatusDlg.IsCancelled() <--Place this in Page on timer
Page.StartTimer(100, 10); -- Set to 100Ms can change

Zip.Extract("AutoPlay\\Docs\\Download\\Download.zip", {"*.*"}, "C:\\Temp\\", true, true, "", ZIP_OVERWRITE_ALWAYS, nil);

if canned then
StatusDlg.SetTitle("Cancelling extraction ...");
Application.Sleep(5000);--Allows user to see title
 Dialog.Message("Notice", "you have stopped the install please read this blah", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
StatusDlg.Hide();

else

StatusDlg.Hide();
Dialog.Message("Install finished", "You have finished the extraction now installing blah", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

end

You can try either scripts, see how you go
Cheers
