Update Downloader with silent Version check -> GUI Style Layout

Viewed 33

Our application currently has "Background update downloader" configured for the update checks and installation. We have a few problems in this approach with the User community and we are working on making the update transparent to the User. To this end we are trying out the "Update downloader with the silent version check".

However, here we have the same or similar as question as discussed in

Force update in install4j application

We want to remove the "Cancel" button in the GUI Style Layout. However, it is possible for us to change the contents of the "Form" but not the layout itself.

The answer was to use the "Unattended mode with progress dialog". My question would be would moving from the GUI Style to "Unattended mode with progress dialog" result in not presenting the user the Dialog (attached) where he/she can select the download directory, show the old and new version that is available?

Yes, "Unattended mode with progress dialog" just shows a progress dialog and none of the screens.

If you want to show the screens and just hide the "Cancel" button, that is possible by setting the "Post-activation script" property of all screens of the update downloader to

context.getWizardContext().setControlButtonVisible(ControlButtonType.CANCEL, false);
