Check the documentation how to use the Progress Bar screen. You can use it to show the progress of downloads instead of using the StatusDlg, with the aid of a custom callback function. The help file has examples.

Sorry for late response Ulrich, I'm still not exactly sure how to achieve what you suggested

For reference, I mean this one here:


My code looks like this (almost similar to the one in the documentation):

function ShowStatusWindow()

StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONINFORMATION, false);

StatusDlg.ShowCancelButton(true, "Stop Download");
end



function DownloadStatus (BytesRead, FileSize, TransferRate, SecondsLeft, SecondsLeftFormat, Message)

StatusDlg.SetMeterRange(0, 65534);

StatusDlg.SetMeterPos((BytesRead / FileSize) * 65534);


if StatusDlg.IsCancelled() then

StatusDlg.Hide();
return false;
else

if FileSize == 0 then

StatusDlg.SetStatusText("Size Unknown (" .. Math.Floor(BytesRead/1024/1024) .. "MB downloaded so far)");
elseif FileSize > 0 then

StatusDlg.SetStatusText("Downloaded " .. Math.Floor(BytesRead/1024/1024) .. " MB of " .. Math.Floor(FileSize/1024/1024) .. " MB");
end

if (Message == "") and (BytesRead > 0) and (BytesRead == FileSize or FileSize == 0) then

StatusDlg.Hide();

Dialog.Message("Download Complete", Math.Floor(BytesRead/1024/1024) .. " MB have been downloaded");
return false;
else

return true;
end
end
end



ShowStatusWindow();

HTTP.DownloadSecure("https://download171.uploadhaven.com/1/application/x-msi/a0wNuyyZAceCrY2aPSdyTBVApbTWQWCjUz0gwJQ0.msi?key=Z Qc2TIBiv5bvHYASgBiuSQ&expire=1600500401&filename=W arcraftIIIIrinaSetup.msi", SessionVar.Expand("%AppFolder%\\Moonie.zip"), MODE_BINARY, 20, 443, nil, nil, DownloadStatus);

Yeah, the problem is that when I download, I get the statusdialog (which looks like this):

Is there I way I can use the one in themes instead? Note, I use HTTP.Download/Secure action, so it uses the StatusDialog. However, I would like to use the statusbar/dialog in themes, instead of this one. Do you have any idea how I can achieve that?

[Ulrich]

You can design and add your own themes and use them in Setup Factory. You can also resize the dialogs as needed, and use custom fonts. While the standard themes are clearly conservative, if you want, you can get much more colorful.

So I wish to make an installer where I can download several different game versions from my website. If I were to put them all in the exe, it would become really big and I would have to split them, which I don't want. I want it to be one, easy and really portable installer. I can somehow manage that by using this code, but I would love to customize the installer, adding images and so much more. Probably even using the dialogs, but I just started today and have no idea what to do. Does anyone have any kind of tips? The dialogs I have right now is kind of bland and boring to look at.

[MoonX3]

Okay so I changed the code, I'll put that here first before explaining my intention and everything.

StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONNONE, false);
run = true
result_2 = 'G'

while ( run == true ) do

result_1 = Dialog.Input("Which Game version do you want to install? 1.26 or 1.27 (enter exact)", "Answer", "", MB_ICONQUESTION);


if ( String.ToNumber(result_1) == 1.26 ) then
HTTP.DownloadSecure("https://domain.com/test.gif", "C:\\output\\HookSuccess_1.gif", MODE_BINARY, 20, 443, nil, nil, nil);
run = false
end

if ( String.ToNumber(result_1) == 1.27 ) then
HTTP.DownloadSecure("https://domain.com/test.gif", "C:\\output\\HookSuccess_2.gif", MODE_BINARY, 20, 443, nil, nil, nil);
run = false
end

if ( String.ToNumber(result_1) ~= 1.26 and String.ToNumber(result_1) ~= 1.27 ) then
Dialog.Message("Error.", "Your input was not 1.26 or 1.27. The input needs to be exact matching. Try again.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

if ( run == false ) then
result_2 = Dialog.Input("Enter G if you wish to install again, else just click Cancel.", "Answer", "", MB_ICONQUESTION);
end

if ( result_2 == 'G' ) then
run = true
else
Application.Exit(0);StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONNONE, false);
end

end

Herro,

Is there some way I can beautify the way I do this, with like buttons, themes and stuff? Instead of having it being like this (code below):

StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONNONE, false);

run = true

while ( run == true ) do

result_1 = Dialog.Input("Which Warcraft do you want to install? 1.26 or 1.27 (enter exact)", "Answer", "", MB_ICONQUESTION);

if ( String.ToNumber(result_1) == 1.26 ) then

HTTP.DownloadSecure("https://mydomain.com/file_1.exe", "C:\\Users\\akeno\\Desktop\\Setup Factory Output\\HookSuccess.rar", MODE_BINARY, 20, 443, nil, nil, BytesRead);
run = false

end

if ( String.ToNumber(result_1) == 1.27 ) then

HTTP.DownloadSecure("https://mydomain.com/file_2.exe", "C:\\Users\\akeno\\Desktop\\Setup Factory Output\\HookSuccess.rar", MODE_BINARY, 20, 443, nil, nil, BytesRead);
run = false

end

if ( String.ToNumber(result_1) ~= 1.26 and String.ToNumber(result_1) ~= 1.27 ) then

Dialog.Message("Error.", "Your input was not 1.26 or 1.27. The input needs to be exact matching. Try again.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

end

if ( run == false ) then

result_2 = Dialog.Input("Enter G if you wish to install again, else just click Cancel.", "Answer", "", MB_ICONQUESTION);

end

if ( result_2 == 'G' ) then

run = true

end

end

And while we are at it, how can I make this window more "beautiful" too? Like customize it, adding images and stuff.


Thanks in advanceee ~
