!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY

In the code can be used to display the built-in directory page.

Is possible to create user defined page directory? because i need to call many times this page.

How to create user defined page directory?

You can probably just use multiple built-in directory pages. Simply insert the macro multiple times. You can customize each page using these defines:
MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_TEXT_TOP text
MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_TEXT_DESTINATION
MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE

See the MUI2 readme: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Mod...02/Readme.html

Thanks MSG.
I have tried following way to create directory page manually.

!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE MyDir
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW ShowDirectory
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY


Function MyDir
${DriveSpace} "C:\" "/D=F /S=G" $R0
${If} $R0 <= 2
MessageBox MB_OK "Going to display"
call ShowDirectoryPage
${EndIf}
Function ShowDirectory
FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT
GetDlgItem $1 $0 1020 ; IDC_SELDIRTEXT
StrCpy $2 "$(SelDirText)"
SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:$2"
GetDlgItem $1 $0 1006
StrCpy $2 "$(IntroText)"
SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:$2"
GetDlgItem $1 $HWNDPARENT 1037
StrCpy $2 "$(DirText)"
SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:$2"
GetDlgItem $1 $HWNDPARENT 1038
StrCpy $2 "$(DirSubText)"
SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:$2"
GetDlgItem $1 $0 1023 ; IDC_SPACEREQUIRED
System::Call 'user32.dll::ShowWindow(i, i) v($1, 0)'
GetDlgItem $1 $0 1024 ; IDC_SPACEAVAILABLE
System::Call 'user32.dll::ShowWindow(i, i) v($1, 0)'
FunctionEnd


but in the ShowDirectory function didnot display directory page.Also i got warning messages for this function.

You're missing a FunctionEnd after MyDir

oh sorry.Its my mistake i didnot copy the code properly.

define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE MyDir
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW ShowDirectory
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY


Function MyDir
${DriveSpace} "C:\" "/D=F /S=G" $R0
${If} $R0 <= 2
MessageBox MB_OK "Going to display"
call ShowDirectoryPage
${EndIf}
FunctionEnd

Function ShowDirectory
FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT
GetDlgItem $1 $0 1020 ; IDC_SELDIRTEXT
StrCpy $2 "$(SelDirText)"
SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:$2"
GetDlgItem $1 $0 1006
StrCpy $2 "$(IntroText)"
SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:$2"
GetDlgItem $1 $HWNDPARENT 1037
StrCpy $2 "$(DirText)"
SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:$2"
GetDlgItem $1 $HWNDPARENT 1038
StrCpy $2 "$(DirSubText)"
SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:$2"
GetDlgItem $1 $0 1023 ; IDC_SPACEREQUIRED
System::Call 'user32.dll::ShowWindow(i, i) v($1, 0)'
GetDlgItem $1 $0 1024 ; IDC_SPACEAVAILABLE
System::Call 'user32.dll::ShowWindow(i, i) v($1, 0)'
FunctionEnd

LangString "IntroText" is not set in language table of language English

LangString "DirSubText" is not set in language table of language English

You need to !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English" after all (un)page macros are inserted.

[ilaiyaraja]

I have already included this macro after all page macros are inserted.
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE English

Is there need to insert before this page ShowDirectory load?

[T.Slappy]

Maybe it is easier to create custom directory page (few labels, edit box and button with nsDialogs::SelectFolder function) with nsDialogs?

It can be shown many times with appropriate parameters without using a lot of code.
