Adding or Modifying the Code in an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI Project to Display Billboards

InstallShield 2019

Project • This information applies to the following project types:

InstallScript
InstallScript MSI

The InstallScript code that is needed to display billboards at run time varies, depending on the style of billboard that you are using.

Windowed Billboards with Progress—To use windowed billboards that show progress at run time, use the STATUSBBRD constant with the Enable function.
Billboards with a Full-Screen Background Window—To use billboards that are displayed with a full-screen background window, use the FULLWINDOWMODE and BACKGROUND constants with the Enable function. To learn how, see Displaying a Background Window in InstallScript and InstallScript MSI Installations.

Note that if you want to use an Adobe Flash billboard with this style of billboard, you must also use the PlayMMedia function.

For details about these different styles of billboards, see Billboard Styles and File Types for InstallScript and InstallScript MSI Projects.
