--------------------------------

### setInstallCallback

Source: https://docs.hise.audio/scripting/scripting-api/expansionhandler/index.html

Sets a callback function that is invoked during the installation of a new expansion. The callback receives an object with installation status, progress, and expansion details.

```APIDOC
## setInstallCallback

### Description
Set a function that will be called during installation of a new expansion.

### Method Signature
```APIDOC
ExpansionHandler.setInstallCallback(var installationCallback)
```

### Parameters
- **installationCallback** (function) - The callback function to be executed during installation.

### Callback Object Properties
The callback expects one argument, an object with the following properties:
- **obj.Status** (integer): A status code indicating the state of the installation:
    - `0`: Before extraction starts.
    - `1`: During extraction.
    - `2`: Extraction finished.
    The callback is guaranteed to be executed with `2` at least once.
- **obj.Expansion** (Expansion object): If the installation and optional initialization succeeded, this will contain a reference to the expansion for post-installation tasks.
- **obj.Progress** (float): The extraction progress, similar to `Engine.getPreloadProgress`.
- **obj.SourceFile** (File object): The package file being extracted.
- **obj.TargetFolder** (string): The directory where the expansion is being installed.
- **obj.SampleFolder** (string): The sample folder used for the samples.

### Usage Example
```APIDOC
const var t = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Desktop).getChildFile("test.hr1");
const var e = Engine.createExpansionHandler();

function installCallback(obj)
{
    if(obj.Status == 2 && isDefined(obj.Expansion))
    {
        // make sure the user presets are updated
        obj.Expansion.rebuildUserPresets();
        
        // ask the user if he wants to delete the archive file...
        Engine.showYesNoWindow("Installation sucessful", 
                               "Do you want to delete the archive file", 
        function(ok)
        {
            if(ok)
                t.deleteFileOrDirectory();                
        });
    }

Server.setBaseURL("https://forum.hise.audio");

// The GET arguments as JSON object
const var p =
{
    "term": "HISE",
    "in": "titlespost"
};

// => https://forum.hise.audio/api/search?term=HISE&in=titlesposts
Server.callWithGET("api/search", p, function(status, response)
{
    if(status == Server.StatusOK)
    {

const var suspendBroadcaster = Engine.createBroadcaster({
	"id": "suspendBroadcaster",
	"args": [ "isSuspended" ]
});

// If you comment out this line, you'll see that the timer callback is
// still being executed while the panel callback is suspended properly.
Content.setSuspendTimerCallback(suspendBroadcaster);

const var to = Engine.createTimerObject();

to.setTimerCallback(function()
{
	Console.print("to" + Math.random());
});

// by using a broadcaster, we can attach each timer object exactly where we define it, 
// so you don't have to keep track of all your timers at a global location
suspendBroadcaster.addListener(to, "suspend timer object", function(isSuspended)
{
	if(isSuspended)
		this.stopTimer();
	else
		this.startTimer(400);
});


to.startTimer(400);

	"args": ["component", "selectedIndex"]
});

/** This defines a few items using a markdown-like syntax. */
const var POPUP_MENU_ITEMS = [
  "**Set Value / Properties**", // A header
  "Value is active",			// the first item
  "Set to {DYNAMIC}",			// the second item with a dynamic text
  "___",						// a horizontal separator
  "~~This is always off~~"		// an item that is always disabled
];


inline function popupStateFunction(type, index)
{
	// The this object of this function will always
	// point to the component that was clicked (in our
	// case it's always Button1).
	Console.assertEqual(this, Button1);

	local getEnableState = type == "enabled";
	local getTextValue = type == "text";
	local getActiveState = type == "active";
	
	if(getEnableState) // We don't want to disable any item
		return true; // so let's return true...
		
	if(getTextValue)
	{
		// This function is only called with items
		// that specify the `{DYNAMIC}` wildcard
		// in this case the second item with the index 1
		Console.assertEqual(value, 1);
		
		// Now we can return whatever text we want to show
		// and this is evaluated each time before the popup
		// is shown
		return this.get("width") > 150 ? "small" : "wide";
	}
	
	if(getActiveState)
	{
		// Now we can decide whether the popup menu item
		// should be displayed as active or not

		// the first item checks whether the button is active
		if(index == 0)
			return this.getValue();
		
		// the second item checks whether its wide or not
		if(index == 1)
			return this.get("width") > 150;
	}
};

/** Now we can use the item list and the state function to attach the broadcaster
   to the context menu of the button (you can attach it to multiple components by
   passing in a list. */
bc.attachToContextMenu("Button1", popupStateFunction, POPUP_MENU_ITEMS, "Context Menu");


/** This callback will be executed whenever a popup menu item was selected. */
bc.addListener(Button1, "Menu callback", function(component, index)
{
	// the this object will point to the component
	Console.assertEqual(component, this);

	if(index == 0)

### Request Example
```cpp
dyn d1;
span data = { 0.0f, 1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f,
                         4.0f, 5.0f, 6.0f, 7.0f };

// let d1 point to the entire data block
d1.referTo(data, data.size(), 0);
 
// loop through all elements and add two.
// Note the &-qualifier which tells the loop
// to grab a reference so you can actually modify
// the element!
for(auto& element: d1)
{
    element += 2.0f;
}
 
// If you omit the &-qualifier, it will create a
// local copy of the element and not write it back
// to the array.
for(auto element: d1)
{
    element += 200.0f;
}
 
auto mustBeTrue = data[0] == 2.0f; // not 202.0f!
