How to delay a button from appearing for a short time?

Mon Dec 13, 2021 3:31 pm

Hello,

How to make the "I agree to License terms and conditions." checkbox appear after a short period of time, i.e. 5 seconds, and not instant as normal?

The point of this is to stop the user from rushing through the installer and skipping vital info.

I also got a quick question, what's the difference between "New/Add Dialog" and "New/Add Dialog in Sequence"?

Thanks,
Jacob

Hi Jacob,

I'm afraid that is not possible. You cannot delay a control to appear.
The point of this is to stop the user from rushing through the installer and skipping vital info.
For that maybe you can implement another checkbox under these vital info so the user has to check that too.
I also got a quick question, what's the difference between "New/Add Dialog" and "New/Add Dialog in Sequence"?
Using the "New Dialog" option you will create a new dialog and when using the “Add Dialog” option it will prompt you to select an available dialog from our Built-in dialogs, e.g: SQLConnectionDlg

As for the "New/Add Dialog in Sequence" option, it creates a new dialog and schedules it to run in Install UI Sequence.

More details on our Dialog Editor page.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Liviu
