Silently Update, show custom progress %?

Hey,

We're looking at using wyUpdate to run silently whilst showing our own front-end progress / custom graphics.

I think we can listen for start / complete events to show the custom graphics / popup window however is there any sort of progress % event we can hook into to display our own custom progress bar?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Well, if you're making a .NET app, you can use the AutomaticUpdater to show progress in your app for a majority of the update (download, extracting, patching). Then wyUpdate is shown for only the last step (installing the files).

But if you're looking to customize wyUpdate, you can get the latest source code and modify as much as you want. Most of the display code is in the PanelDisplay.cs file (more than 90%).

If you do go the route of modifying the wyUpdate source, we don't recommend a complete restructuring of the source code. We actively maintain wyUpdate -- adding new features and bug fixes -- and updates built with new versions of wyBuild require the latest version of wyUpdate. This means you'll need to merge any changes you make with our copy of wyUpdate.

That being said, we rarely touch PanelDisplay.cs, except for occasional cleanup and minor bug fixes. So most changes you make to that file will be safe for merging.

Tell me if this helps.
