? Dyamically changing text with/without custom fields ?

I am looking for a way to show text within a single NSIS dialog that changes over time. E.g. "Starting...", "Now doing X", "Now doing Y", etc.

I've been trying with InstallOptions but the place where I would execute the loop getting the text to display does not execute until the user clicks on Next.

I tried handling in a leave page but that doesn't seem to work either.

Can this be done with NSIS? I don't see anything like it in examples or how to's or even as a previous question in the list for the last month.

Can..but you need HWND of the control, use the WM_SETTEXT nor SetWindowText (system plugin), also Sleep ;)... but the rest of the installation proc. can be delay also... you might wanna try making a plugin and subclassing the dialog nor hooking :D :igor:

My goal was to rewrite text from one textbox to second textbox dynamically. I used System::Call user32::SetWindowText. I am using nsDialogs.

PHP Code:


		
			
!include nsDialogs.nsh



Name "nsDialogs MyExample"

OutFile "nsDialogs MyExample.exe"



Page custom nsDialogsPage



Var EDIT1

Var EDIT2



Function nsDialogsPage

  nsDialogs::Create /NOUNLOAD 1018

  Pop $0

  ${NSD_CreateText} 0 35 100% 12u "type here"

  Pop $EDIT1

  GetFunctionAddress $0 OnChange1

  nsDialogs::OnChange /NOUNLOAD $EDIT1 $0



  ${NSD_CreateText} 0 70 100% 12u '...'

  Pop $EDIT2

  nsDialogs::Show

FunctionEnd



Function OnChange1

  System::Call user32::GetWindowText(i$EDIT1,t.r0,i${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN})

  System::Call user32::SetWindowText(i$EDIT2,tr0)

FunctionEnd
