I already used InfoBeforeFile
directive, with an "Important notice" text file.
But I would prefer the user could continue to read the instructions throughout an installation (e.g. in a separate window).
Any clue?
Added the final result, thanks again to Martin Prikryl
Use CreateCustomForm
function to create a separate window for your message.
[Files]
Source: "important.txt"; Flags: dontcopy;
[Code]
procedure InitializeWizard();
var
InfoForm: TSetupForm;
InfoMemo: TRichEditViewer;
begin
InfoForm := CreateCustomForm;
Log(IntToStr(WizardForm.Left));
Log(IntToStr(WizardForm.Width));
InfoForm.Left := WizardForm.Left + WizardForm.Width;
InfoForm.Width := ScaleX(400);
InfoForm.Caption := 'Important message';
InfoForm.Top := WizardForm.Top;
InfoForm.Height := WizardForm.Height;
InfoForm.Position := poDesigned;
InfoForm.Show();
InfoMemo := TRichEditViewer.Create(InfoForm);
InfoMemo.Parent := InfoForm;
InfoMemo.Left := ScaleX(40);
InfoMemo.Top := ScaleX(40);
InfoMemo.Width := InfoForm.ClientWidth - 2 * ScaleX(40);
InfoMemo.Height := InfoForm.ClientHeight - 2 * ScaleX(40);
InfoMemo.ScrollBars := ssVertical;
InfoMemo.ReadOnly := ssVertical;
InfoMemo.WantReturns := ssVertical;
InfoMemo.WantReturns := False;
ExtractTemporaryFile('important.txt');
InfoMemo.Lines.LoadFromFile(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\important.txt'));
end;
