7z sfx without Cancel Button - DONE


<SparTacuS>

Recommended Posts

I have been playing around with 7z after trying the excellent tutes of Astalavista & evilvoice. Mainly trying to figure out what was going on with these sfx modules (I know I'm dense).

Whilst replacing the icon in one such file I also tried deleting the Cancel button from the Dialog (and resizing it to suit)

It works fine. Still get a progress bar but check it out. This is an Office package as per Astalavistas tutorial. Cancel button removed using Reshacker.

By request - a simple tutorial;

1. Make a copy of the 7zS.sfx module from the 7zip folder (so you don't screw-up the original).

2.Start ResHacker and open your copy of the sfx.

3. Expand the Dialog branch in the left pane and navigate to 500\1033. You should see the extraction dialog in a small window and its properties in the right pane of the main window (see attached picture).

4. Click on the "Cancel" button of the Dialog and you will see that it is highlighted. Now hit your "Delete" key. Yea - it's gone.

5. Compile the script (use "Compile Script" button)

6. If you want to resize the dialog to get rid of the empty grey where the button was, you now need to pay attention to the first line of the properties window.

7. It says

500 DIALOG 0, 0, 186, 55

The 186 is the current width and the 55 is the current height - edit them to your taste.

8. Compile the script to see the changes.

9 Save the hacked file - a backup should have been made of your original copy.

Now - is anyone brave enough to try deleting the progress bar and setting the dialog size to 1,1 so it's pretty much invisible?

No Cancel button ?

A hearty pat on the back for you Spartacus! This is great news. :D

Combined with its compression ratio, this works wonders for uA!

No setting to 0,0 still gives you a small box. You have to remove some header.

500 DIALOG 0, 0, 186, 55
STYLE DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_CENTER | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "Progress"
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg"
{
  CONTROL "Cancel", 2, BUTTON, BS_PUSHBUTTON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP, 61, 34, 64, 14
  CONTROL "Progress1", 1000, "msctls_progress32", PBS_SMOOTH | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER, 7, 7, 172, 14
}

Old news.... :zzz:

I've been doing this type of thing at work with winrar for ages. Heck they even want you  to do it, hence why they offer uncompressed extraction engines for download.

Move along people, nothing to see here....

Oh, but that's winrar. And this is 7zip.

And yes, its interesting for a lot of people, so you can't say that its old news for them.

Anyways, it would be nice to know a few more tips that you know. Considering you knew this one since a lot of time. :yes:
