ifdef and langstrings

[oborstad]

Hi All,

Is there a way to tell if a string has been defined for a language? I'm trying to to something like:


test.nsh:

code:
!ifndef $(error_message)

  LangString error_message ${LANG_ENGLISH} "My generic error message"

!endif



function test

MessageBox MB_OK ${error_message

functionend

main.nsi

code:
!include test.nsh

LangString error_message ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Override message"

...

call test

but anything I've come up with so far only results in either a warning message in the compiler of:
LangString "..." set multiple times for 1033, wasting space (...)

when I test it out, it seems to work as long as I put the message I want before the include (since it ignores the second one)... but I would rather not see the warning. I've looked through the source for NSIS and through the examples, and plugins, etc... but haven't really found anything like this...

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that isn't possible. You just need to !define a constant of the same name when using LangString.
