TTMSFNCCustomAppUpdate Class

Base class that checks a remote control file for available updates, downloads the changed files, applies them, and optionally restarts the application.

API unit family: TMSFNCAppUpdate Inherits from: TTMSFNCCustomComponent

Syntax

TTMSFNCCustomAppUpdate = class(TTMSFNCCustomComponent)

Remarks

The component compares the local installation against the remote control file using a version string, the file version embedded in the binary, the file size, or a CRC checksum. Use the published descendant for design-time use; this base class exposes the same surface as protected members so it can be customized.
