MUI2 - Customising welcome page

[pfeerick]

Hi,

Have been experimenting with the NSIS MUI2, and have been trying to customise a built-in page with nsDialog, namely the welcome page.

I have been trying to add a 'about' button to the welcome page, and have added all the necessary code, but have been unable to force the control on top of other controls, so that it is visible. Because I am trying to place this button in line with the next and cancel buttons, it appears to be going 'under' the gray box at the bottom of the dialog.

Can anybody tell me how to make the button visible, or am I doing sotmething wrong?

Dialog I have:

That part of the wizard is not part of the page itself. It's part of the outer dialog. You cannot yet use nsDialogs to create controls outside of the page.

The help plug-in (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/HelpButton_plug-in) might be what you're looking for.

Thanks, kichik, my mistake! Do you have any idea if nsDialogs will be able to create controls outside of the page?

I assume you mean when and not if. Though both questions get the same answer - no.
