Load existing Language Strings into custom page.

[MeRuud]

Hello all..

I am trying to create a custom page and load already existing language strings into it. For example "MUI_TEXT_WELCOME_INFO_TITLE".

I am using the following code, but it doesn't seem to work.

code:
;--------------------------------

;Include all libs



  !include "MUI.nsh" ; --- MUI 1.66 compatible

  !include "LogicLib.nsh" ; --- Include logic statement capabilities

  !include "nsDialogs.nsh" ; --- Include custom pages capabilities



;--------------------------------

;General Information



  Name 

  BrandingText 

  OutFile 

  InstallDir 



  Var Dialog

  Var Label

  Var mui.WelcomePage.Title

  Var mui.WelcomePage.Title.Font

  Var mui.WelcomePage.Text    



;--------------------------------

;Define images and include pages



  !define MUI_ABORTWARNING

  Page custom nsDialogsPage

  !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES



;--------------------------------

;Languages	



  !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English" ;first language is the default language



  !insertmacro MUI_DEFAULT MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE "$(MUI_TEXT_WELCOME_INFO_TITLE)"

  !insertmacro MUI_DEFAULT MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT "$(MUI_TEXT_WELCOME_INFO_TEXT)"

  

  !insertmacro MUI_UNSET MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE

  !insertmacro MUI_UNSET MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE_3LINES

  !insertmacro MUI_UNSET MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT



;--------------------------------

;Custom Page - Welcome

Function nsDialogsPage



        nsDialogs::Create 1018

        Pop $Dialog



        ${NSD_CreateLabel} 0 0 100% 12u "Hello, welcome to nsDialogs!"

        Pop $Label



    ;Positiong of controls

    ;Title    

    !ifndef MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE_3LINES

      !define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE_HEIGHT 28

    !else

      !define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE_HEIGHT 38

    !endif

    

    ;Text

    ;17 = 10 (top margin) + 7 (distance between texts)

    !define /math MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT_TOP 17 + ${MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE_HEIGHT}



    ;Title

    ${NSD_CreateLabel} 120u 10u 195u ${MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE_HEIGHT}u "$(MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE)"

    Pop $mui.WelcomePage.Title

    CreateFont $mui.WelcomePage.Title.Font "$(^Font)" "12" "700"

    SendMessage $mui.WelcomePage.Title ${WM_SETFONT} $mui.WelcomePage.Title.Font 0



    ;Welcome text

    ${NSD_CreateLabel} 120u ${MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT_TOP}u 195u 130u "${MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT}"

    Pop $mui.WelcomePage.Text



    !insertmacro MUI_UNSET MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE_HEIGHT

    !insertmacro MUI_UNSET MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT_TOP



        nsDialogs::Show



FunctionEnd

This only displays: "$(MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE)" and "${MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT}".
If I replace "${MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT}" with (as according to the manual) $(^MUI_TEXT_WELCOME_INFO_TEXT) it stays blank.

Am I missing something?

All I am trying to do is recreate the Welcome page but include a piece of text. Because as far as I can't include a custom text string into the welcome page?
MUI_TEXT_WELCOME_INFO_TITLE
*Some Custom Text*
MUI_TEXT_WELCOME_INFO_TEXT

Thanks in advanced,
Ruud

A different forum recommended to do the following, they said this should add a box to the welcome page. However it does not display anything

code:


  !define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW MyWelcomeShow

  !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME

  !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES



;--------------------------------

;Custom Page - Welcome



  Function MyWelcomeShow

	${NSD_CreateLabel} 100u 100u 50% 100u "TEXT"

	Pop $0

  FunctionEnd

And the following created a new custom page (not adding to it).

code:


  !define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW MyWelcomeShow

  !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME

  !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES



;--------------------------------

;Custom Page - Welcome



  Function MyWelcomeShow

	nsDialogs::Create 1044

        Pop $Dialog



	${NSD_CreateLabel} 100u 100u 50% 100u "TEXT"

	Pop $0



	nsDialogs::Show

  FunctionEnd

Both results are as expected and as described in the manual..
But maybe they have misquoted something? And there is a possibility to add text into the welcome page? (without editing the language files)

You have two mistakes:
1. You need to use MUI2.nsh if you are using nsDialogs (MUI.nsh uses old InstallOptions for its Welcome/Finish pages).
2. You don't need to do nsDialogs::Create/nsDialogs::Show; MUI2 already does that.

Thank you!
Can't believe I missed that.
