Hmmm... Great, it worked very well with Win XP!

Keep up with the good work!

:up: :up:

For the Modern tooltip will need IE 5 or Windows 98.

Any luck in Win9x and Win2k users?

does this also work for IO pages?

Joel	6th June 2004 13:35

Yes, you'll just get the HWND of the control.

is there a tool, which shows me the HWND of my controls (onmouseover)?

Joel	6th June 2004 16:35

Don't need to, in your show function of the custom page, use as the documentation of InstallOptions:

Quote:

GetDlgItem (output var) (hwnd of the custom dialog) (1200 + Field number - 1)

I'll try to make an example

Yathosho

how do i get the hwnd of the custom page then? :)

Joel	20th June 2004 18:07

code:


Function FunctionName ;FunctionName defined with Page command



  ;Display the Install Options dialog



  Push $R0

  Push $R1

  Push $R2



    InstallOptions::initDialog /NOUNLOAD $PLUGINSDIR\test.ini

    Pop $R0 # HWND



    GetDlgItem $R1 $R0 1200 ;1200 + Field number - 1



    ;$R1 contains the HWND of the first field

    CreateFont $R2 "Tahoma" 10 700

    SendMessage $R1 ${WM_SETFONT} $R2 0



    InstallOptions::show

    Pop $R0



  Pop $R2

  Pop $R1

  Pop $R0



FunctionEnd

as i'm using MUI, i tried the following code.

code:
Var HWND

Var DLGITEM



Function .onInit

  !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_EXTRACT "ioA.ini"

FunctionEnd



Function SetCustomA

  !insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "Caption" "Description"

  !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_INITDIALOG "ioA.ini"

  Pop $HWND

  GetDlgItem $DLGITEM $HWND 1201 ;Field 2

  ToolTips::Classic $DLGITEM "Test"

  !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "ioA.ini"

FunctionEnd

the result of this is the installer quitting instantly after calling that page. can anyone help me out please?

You should attach your script so we can help to fix it properly.

1) Remove !define MUI_CUSTOMPAGECOMMANDS.

2) Replace !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "ioA.ini" by !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_SHOW.

Joel	21st June 2004 20:55

Updated plugin :D

New:
Customize the fore, background color as well the font and the size.

In the archive: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/...instances=0,32

But the link there just points here to lobos site:
http://www.lobo-lunar.com/nsis/

Although the version has not changed.

I'll work in the debug for a release one ;)

Joel	29th December 2004 18:31

Thank You!!!
I have some problem ;) If I add a tooltip to ComboBox or Button, when timeout expire tooltip don't appear anymore...
(Es decir, si en un ComboBox o un Botón asocio un Tooltip y lo hago aparecer, pasando el ratón por encima, cuando desaparece ya no vuelve a aparecer. Esto no pasa en un EntryField)

Joel	30th December 2004 13:53

Yes, I have the same problem... I don't know why, I use the user's timeout default appear-dissapear. I'll check msdn, maybe I'm missing something...

Thanks for the reply.... :)

Joel	23rd July 2006 03:36

Updated:

- Fix size bug.
- Added an example with custom page controls.

Thanks, Joel.

Nice, I'll love plugins,

What about adding:

!addplugindir ".\"

to your NSIS script so we can try instantly?

This plugin is no longer maintained, so I thought I'd write up some issues encountered in later versions of Windows (and in general usage):
