Slide show inside the dialog?

Hello,

I know how to use slide show of images in the background. Is there a way to do this inside the dialog?

Re: Slide show inside the dialog?

Hello K,

Unfortunately our slideshow feature is only designed for displaying an image slideshow which will be showed in fullscreen on the installation's background.

If you need to display a slideshow on one of your dialogs, you could create a GIF image containing a the slideshow and place it on a dialog as a new image control. In order to properly display the .GIF file you also need to enable "Enhanced User Interface" from "Themes" page.

Another possible solution would be to create a Billboard. However the GIF and the Billboard methods require the "Enterprise" edition of Advanced Installer.

Hello,

In prerequisite dialog, I added the GIF image to the prerequisite progress dialog. But this is not adding to the prerequisite download progress dialog.

Re: Slide show inside the dialog?

Hello,

I am trying to use the "Show image slideshow in background during install" option. But this only shows the slideshow images during the main install dialog. It does not show when the prerequisites dialog is shown. How to make it show during the prerequisites dialog?

Re: Slide show inside the dialog?

Hello,

I'm afraid this is not possible. Our "Slideshow" feature cannot display the slideshow during the pre-install prerequisite installation stage.

Maybe we will add this improvement in the future, thank you for your suggestion.

All the best,
Daniel
