Is it possible to set a dialogs visible property to 'False' at runtime using a custom action? I created a setup using InstallShield X (basic MSI project) that calls another setup (which is run silently). I would like to display an 'SdShowMsg()' while the other setup is running. Unfortunately, 'SdShowMsg()' is not modal and is coming up behind the 'SetupProgress' dialog. I would like to set the 'SetupProgress' dialogs visible property to 'False' before the call to 'SdShowMsg()', and then back to 'True" when the child setup is done. Is this possible, or is there a better way to have another information dialog appear on top of the 'SetupProgress' dialog?

Thanks in advance!

Use of InstallScript functins like SdShowMsg is not recommended.

For reference, checkout how InstallChangeFolder dialog always comes in front of DestinationFolder dialog, in case of BasicMSI.
