Moving Billboards to a Different Screen Location for an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI Project

InstallShield 2025

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

•

InstallScript

•

InstallScript MSI

Note:The Adobe Flash application file support that is described here is applicable if the billboard style that you are using is the billboard style with a full-screen background window (which uses the PlayMMedia function), not for the windowed style with progress (which uses the STATUSBBRD constant with the Enable function). For more information about these two styles of billboards, see Billboard Styles and File Types for InstallScript and InstallScript MSI Projects.

By default, the installation displays billboards in the center of the main installation window. To specify a different location, call the PlaceWindow function with the BILLBOARD option. For example, to place your billboards 10 pixels from the upper-left corner of the screen, make the following call:

PlaceWindow (BILLBOARD, 10, 10, UPPER_LEFT);

Since billboards are displayed only during file transfer, ensure that you call PlaceWindow before you begin file transfer.
