Install Options --> Resource Hacker
Ok, Trying (again :p) to get to right numbers of the dialog:
I got this source code:


105 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 280, 162
STYLE DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_CENTER | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION ""
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg", FW_DONTCARE, FALSE, 0
{
   CONTROL "Joel Almeida García", 1098, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 100, 100, 66, 11 
}

My question is, wich are the values for the top, right, left, bottom?

The last four numbers of the CONTROL line: 100, 100, 66, 11.
Left is 100, top is 100, right is 100+66, bottom is 100+11.

The plus 100 in right and botton, are because the values in
left and top?

Yes, 66 and 11 are offsets from top/bottom.

in "text" fields is not the same, isn't? :(


CONTROL "", (..) 113, 138, 108, 13

the .ini:


Left=113         
Top=138 
Right=221 
Bottom=151

What's the problem?

the textbox doesn´t show....
I think because the limit of the dialog (modern.exe) is 330X220
in the ini values are more than the limits...

? The limit to create a page with install options is 300 X 140. (in modern UI).

The limit of the modern dialog is 300x140. A big part of that textbox is outside of that boundry.

Yea...so:
CONTROL "", (..) 113, 138, 108, 13
what's the correct units for:
Left=
Top=
Right=
Bottom=

kichik

There are no. It's too much far to the bottom, it crosses the bottom boundry.

The tutorial is almost finished, need some push:

How can I put a icon or Bitmap in Install Options?

kichik

Use type=bitmap or type=icon.

Joel

yes, but I mean put the image in the dialog...

kichik

I am sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Just extract the bitmap/icon, and set the control's Text field to the path to the icon/bitmap.


GetTempFileName $0

File/oname=$0 mybitmap.bmp

WriteIniStr $PLUGINSmyIni.ini "Field 5" Text $0
