Section toggle

[viragolion]

I would like to create two sections in my installer wich can't be selected together. I wan't them only to be i one of these states: both unselected. Only section A selected or only section B selected. Does someone have an example script for me?

thank you in advance!

The google keyword is 'mutually exclusive sections'.

Wonderfull google keyword. Was searching on a bunch of terms, but this hits the nail right on the spot!

Thank you very very much!!

still a little problem here, but i'm comming closer. When i add this to my script i can use it for two sections. How would a make it work for another two sections?

example:
A
B
C
D

I can choose either A or B or none of them AND
I can choose either C or D or none of them
AB and CD are independend from each other.

thx!

Simply duplicate the code, and use a second variable to keep track of the second section group.

Hi,

thank you for your guidance. I have it almost working. Problem is that selecting sectionB doesn't unselect sectionA anymore when one has selected sectionC or D
I have to manually unselect sectionA to be able to select sectionB again. Most likely something stupid i've done, but perhaps it's easily fixed. I've pasted my code below.

code:
Function .onSelChange

  Push $0

 

  StrCmp $R9 ${-secA} check_-secA

 

    SectionGetFlags ${-secA} $0

    IntOp $0 $0 & ${SF_SELECTED}

    IntCmp $0 ${SF_SELECTED} 0 done done

      StrCpy $R9 ${-secA}

      SectionGetFlags ${-secB} $0

      IntOp $0 $0 & ${SECTION_OFF}

      SectionSetFlags ${-secB} $0

 

    Goto done

 

  check_-secA:

 

    SectionGetFlags ${-secB} $0

    IntOp $0 $0 & ${SF_SELECTED}

    IntCmp $0 ${SF_SELECTED} 0 done done

      StrCpy $R9 ${-secB}

      SectionGetFlags ${-secA} $0

      IntOp $0 $0 & ${SECTION_OFF}

      SectionSetFlags ${-secA} $0

  done:

  Pop $0

  Push $1

  StrCmp $R9 ${-secC} check_-secC

 

    SectionGetFlags ${-secC} $1

    IntOp $1 $1 & ${SF_SELECTED}

    IntCmp $1 ${SF_SELECTED} 0 done2 done2

      StrCpy $R9 ${-secC}

      SectionGetFlags ${-secD} $1

      IntOp $1 $1 & ${SECTION_OFF}

      SectionSetFlags ${-secD} $1

 

    Goto done2

 

  check_-secC:

 

    SectionGetFlags ${-secD} $1

    IntOp $1 $1 & ${SF_SELECTED}

    IntCmp $1 ${SF_SELECTED} 0 done2 done2

      StrCpy $R9 ${-secD}

      SectionGetFlags ${-secC} $1

      IntOp $1 $1 & ${SECTION_OFF}

      SectionSetFlags ${-secC} $1



  done2:

  Pop $1

FunctionEnd

thank you,

Sorry, found my error.
I was using $R9 two times. Changed one instance to $R8 and working flawless now.

thank you!
