Archive: Text Cut-Off


Text Cut-Off
I am using !define MUI_TEXT_FINISH_INFO_TEXT at the top of my script. However, the string I have defined appears to go beyond the allowable number of lines because my text gets cut-off at a certain point (after line 5, I believe). Is there any way to make this restriction of 5 lines something like 10 lines? Thanks much!!


Since the Finish Page uses IO you should be able to increase the size of the label box by changing the Bottom value of the 3rd field in 'ioSpecial.ini'. This is probably best done in the PRE function of the finish page.

Yes, I think it should work


Should it look something like this....

!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_FINISH_PRE DoIt

Function DoIt
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 3" "Bottom" "300"
FunctionEnd

Will this change ioSpecial.ini permanently? Also, by looking at the Finish Page currently, the "white" area where the words are written is already large enough to fit my text. Is there a textbox WITHIN this white area that the "Bottom" above is controlling?

Thanks!


Yes there is a label control over that white area and your function should enlarge it.

Is the change to ioSpecial.ini permanent?


ioSpecial.ini is changed dynamically throughout the different Modern UI pages.
It is used to create both the Welcome and Function pages.

The iopecial.ini file inside the Modern UI dir will not be changed.

Cool, thanks!
