ToolTips plugin: How usefull?

Joel · 15th May 2004, 13:31

How usefull will be a plugin that will allow to display Tooltips in some controls of the Installer's dialog?

VegetaSan · 15th May 2004, 21:37

very usefull .. and very cool.... !!!!

Joel · 16th May 2004, 13:35

In progress

Joel · 18th May 2004, 22:35

See first version of it.
Compile the example.

Comments?

deguix · 19th May 2004, 02:03

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

Keep up with the good work!

Joel · 19th May 2004, 22:56

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

Any luck in Win9x and Win2k users?

pengyou · 19th May 2004, 23:08

Both types of tooltip appeared on my Win98SE system

Joel · 20th May 2004, 13:36

Thanks!

I'll do final fixes, than load-it up in the web archive

Yathosho · 6th June 2004, 12:57

does this also work for IO pages?

Joel · 6th June 2004, 13:35

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

Yathosho · 6th June 2004, 13:57

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 · 20th June 2004, 17:34

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

Yathosho · 20th June 2004, 20:53

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?

deguix · 21st June 2004, 01:21

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

Yathosho · 21st June 2004, 02:06

hope this helps

deguix · 21st June 2004, 10:57

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

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

See the example for details.

ezar2003 · 29th December 2004, 15:05

Perfect!! and... Thank You!!! Where Can I download it? (in web page it's 1.0 version)

agentorange665 · 29th December 2004, 17:36

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.

Joel · 29th December 2004, 18:02

I see, that was a debug upload in that time...

I'll work in the debug for a release one

Joel · 29th December 2004, 18:31

Ok... updated

See the readme + examples....
What's new?
1. Custom colors.
2. Custom font face and size.

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.

Mark Nascimento · 23rd July 2006, 06:32

Thanks, Joel.

onad · 24th July 2006, 17:46

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):
