BANNER PLUG-IN
--------------
The Banner plug-in shows a banner with customizable text. It uses the IDD_VERIFY dialog of the UI.
There are three functions - show, getWindow and destroy.
Usage
-----
Banner::show /NOUNLOAD "Text to show"
[optional] Banner::getWindow /NOUNLOAD
Banner::destroy
See Example.nsi for an example.
Modern UI
---------
The Modern UI has two labels on the IDD_VERIFY dialog. To change all the texts, use:
Banner::show /NOUNLOAD /set 76 "Text 1 (replaces Please wait while Setup is loading...)" "Normal text"
Custom UI
---------
If you have more labels on your IDD_VERIFY dialog, you can use multiple /set parameters to change the texts.
Example:
Banner::show /NOUNLOAD /set 76 "bah #1" /set 54 "bah #2" "Normal text"
The second parameter for /set is the ID of the control.
Some More Tricks
----------------
If you use /set to set the main string (IDC_STR, 1030) you can specify a different string for the window's caption and for the main string.
If you use an empty string as the main string (Banner::show /NOUNLOAD "") the banner window will not show on the taskbar.
