installoptions - how to choose pages
  Hi,

I'm new to NSIS and I'm trying to find som info on how to use installoptions properly.

My situation is that I hvae a custom page with three radiobuttons and
depending of choice I want to display another page. i haven't found a way to just show the page I want, it seems that all three pages are displayed and I'm not allowed to call the page command in a section...

Grateful for any tips on how it should work.

/Stefan

You can read the state of the buttons from the INI file. For details, see the InstallOptions / Modern UI documentation. There have are also several topics in the forum about this subject.

Hi again,

Yes I've seen the documentation about how to read the button state.

What I haven't found is what actually displays the pages?

As I understand it every page to be displayed must be in the "page" section. That is also the order for how the pages are displayed.

Could any one show me a small example of how to display a page only if a certain radiobutton is checked.

Thanks!

Just add another custom page and read the value of the previous page before calling InstallOptions. You can use Abort to skip the page.

I think that this is more or less what you want:

Page Custom General "" ": User Options" 

>Page Custom General2 "" ": User2 Options" 


>Function General

  File/oname=$PLUGINSDIR1.ini "1.ini"

 InstallOptions::dialog "$PLUGINSDIR\\1.ini"

>FunctionEnd


>Function General2

  ReadINIStr $R5 "$PLUGINSDIR\\1.ini" "Field 4" "State"

 StrCmp $R5 1 "" "Cont"

    Abort

  Cont:

 File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR2.ini "2.ini"

 InstallOptions::dialog "$PLUGINSDIR\\2.ini"

>FunctionEnd
