Dialog dimensions
I didn't find any doc or post :cry: ...
What dimensions (TOP and LEFT) has a nsi dialog as limits
for Install Options? :igor:


I don't know if this is what you mean, but as far as I understood the IO examples, you can use RIGHT = -5 for example to make a control end 5 dialog units from the right boundary of the form, no matter how big or small it is. The same for BOTTOM.


The maximum dimension depends on the UI you use. Open up the UI you use (modern.exe or default.exe usually) in Resource Hacker and see the dimensions. default.exe is 260x125 and modern.exe is 286x96.


I'm gonna try IO for the first time.... I download from morphedmedia.com the IOcpt.exe.
I create the ini but it didn't show the dialog.... is there another
way to get the units for the dialog? If i'm using default.exe as
UI, is 260 left and 125 top?

thanks


IOcpt.exe is not updated for the latest version of IO (version 2), you can't use it.

If using default.exe it's 260 left and 125 top, yea.


Thanks... I'm so virgin at IO :D
