InstallOptions text trimming value?
I'm using the following line of code to enter text into an InstallOptions window, berfore the window is displayed.

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "Mem" "Field 2" "Text" " $3%"


This works fine.

However, the text appears to be trimmed. Is there a way to stop this?

I'm trying to "center" the text.

Thanks

To change the position of the text you should change the positioning setting like Left, Top etc.

I'm trying to center the text in a label or text box. The reason is that the background is set to a specific color. I want the text centered in the colored box.

Can you post a script that compiles on every system, an INI file and a screenshot?

It's part of a large script. I'll work on making a small example script over the weekend.

Thanks.

You can also modify the alignment using the System plug-in and Windows API (put the code between IO InitDialog and Show functions)

I tried this, but no luck (hint - not real good with API):

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_INITDIALOG "MemStats"
Pop $hWnd
GetDlgItem $dlgItem $hWnd 1203
SetCtlColors $dlgItem 000000 FFFF80
System::Call "$SYSDIR\gdi32::SetTextAlign (i $dlgItem, l 7) l ?e"
pop $R0
messagebox mb_ok $R0
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_SHOW


$R0 is a 0.
I think that indicates an error.

Any Ideas?

Error value of 0 usually means that the function completed properly, e.g. no error
