- Description
- ===========
- DXInstall is an example of how to use DirectXSetup interfaces to install the
- DirectX subsystem and DirectX drivers. It shows how to use a callback
- function to present messages and get user input through a custom interface,
- in this case a simple modeless dialog box.

- User's Guide
- ============
- First copy the entire contents of the Redist\DirectX8 folder from the DirectX
- SDK CD into the same folder as DXInstall.exe. In your development environment,
- set the working directory to this folder as well. (In Microsoft(r) Visual C++(r),
- this setting is on the Debug page of the Project Settings dialog box.)
-
- Run the program and select Start Install from the File menu. DirectSetup
- performs a simulated installation of DirectX (see Programming Notes) and
- advises you of its progress in a modeless dialog box. The Options menu allows
- you to change the level of messages shown. However, if you are performing
- only a simulated installation, you will never see problem or update messages.
-
- Choose Get Version from the File menu. The program shows the version and
- revision number of DirectX currently installed on the system.
-
- Programming Notes
- =================
-
- By default, the program passes DSETUP_TESTINSTALL to the DirectXSetup
- function. This means that no files are actually copied, nor is the registry
- modified. To perform a real installation, delete this flag from the call.
-
- DXInstall employs a callback function to monitor the progress of installation
- and intercept messages. Depending on the user's preferred warning level, as
- tracked in g_fStatus, messages may be ignored or presented to the user in a
- modeless dialog box. If user input is required, the appropriate buttons are
- displayed and the GetReply function monitors the message queue until one of
- the buttons is pressed.
