To use the AutomaticUpdater control you must have access to the Form's constructor or things will be broken (events won't fire, etc.). You can, however, use the AutomaticUpdaterBackend class, but you'll have to do your own animations.
Getting "Successfully updated to version" animation to show
Hello Team-
I'm struggling to get the "Successfully updated to version xxxx" animation to show once I have successfully downloaded and installed an update and relaunched the app.
To review: I am attempting this on the main form of an app from my plugin, and I don't have access to the main form's constructor, so I can't use the control as it's normally used for this part. I do have access to the main form's load event via my plugin using the Singleton pattern, so everything else in the AutomaticUpdater control works from my checkForUpdates menuItem (Checking for updates, downloading and installing them), including the animations.
Is it possible have this animation show on the main form using auBackend when the app reopens, or am I tilting at windmills? 😳
