I want to make an installer with a custom look and disabled the titlebar by setting the BorderStyle
to bsNone
.
Now I cannot move the window anymore. I have looked around and found a solution for Delphi:

Can this be accomplished in Inno Setup?
I have already looked up the WM_NCHITTEST
thing on MSDN but I cannot figure out if and how I can make this work.
Edit: After looking around and compiling it using the advanced compiler advanced compiler I came up with this, but it doesn't work. It compiles but when I click inside the window, I cannot drag it.
procedure Dragg(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
SendMessage(WizardForm.Handle, $F112, $F012, 0);
end;
procedure InitializeWizard();
begin
WizardForm.OnMouseDown := @Dragg;
end;
No. There's no way to handle messages or alter the WndProc
for controls. There was a little chance to implement the undocumented drag move like in this post
, but unfortunately InnoSetup doesn't have mouse down events published for scripting, so you're out of luck without some external libary.
Using the library and code you've mentioned; you are missing the ReleaseCapture
function call. Use this script code instead (and don't forget, that the only bare part of the wizard form is on bottom left):
[Code]
function ReleaseCapture: BOOL;
external 'ReleaseCapture@user32 stdcall';
const
SC_DRAGMOVE = $F012;
WM_SYSCOMMAND = $0112;
procedure OnMouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
ReleaseCapture;
WizardForm.Perform(WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_DRAGMOVE, 0);
end;
procedure InitializeWizard;
begin
WizardForm.OnMouseDown := @OnMouseDown;
end;
I am updating this question with latest knowledge for future reference.
This feature (dragging borderless installer window) is now working in Inno Setup, however it is part of Graphical Installer which is Inno Setup extension.
Check the website http://www.graphical-installer.com for details.
Note: Graphical Installer is commercial extension for Inno Setup and NSIS which offer new features and enables creating skinned installers. I am developer of this extension.
