Optional Radio Buttons
 

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to NSIS, so excuse my noobness.

I'm using NSIS 2.46 with MUI2. I am trying to create a components page where the component group is optional, but the items in the group are radio buttons.

The context is that I install some prerequisites for my installation. The user can choose 2 options on how those prerequisites are installed, but they can also choose not to install the prerequisites at all.

Currently my code looks something like:

code:


!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS

...



SectionGroup "Prerequisite Installation"

Section  "Install Type 1" installType1

SectionEnd

Section  "Install Type 2" installType2

SectionEnd

SectionGroupEnd



...

Function .onInit

StrCpy $1 ${installType1}

FunctionEnd



Function .onSelChange

!insertmacro StartRadioButtons $1

!insertmacro RadioButton "${installType1}"

!insertmacro RadioButton "${installType2}"

!insertmacro EndRadioButtons

FunctionEnd

Code examples taken from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...ams-to-install.

This does give me the "radio button" effect for install types, but I cant deselect the group checkbox (which ok, is "correct" radio button operation. I'm seeing if theres a way to have nothing selected or only 1 selected)

Thanks!!

good question, i have the same problem. I use it the same way you do, like this http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Examples/one-section.nsi

Always 1 checkbox is activated. You cant deactivate both.

Is it possible to uncheck both options with this "Sections.nsh" method?

You can write your own code in .onSelChange to check the selected states of sections and uncheck the others as necessary. You can use ${If} ${SectionIsSelected} and the UnselectSection macro in Sections.nsh to simplify things.
