Getting user input using MUI and a MULTISELECT list box.
Hi, I'm a new user of NSIS trying to find the more information possible:).I'm using MUI, I've got a "myfile.ini" wich describes a custom page,and when I try to get the 'State' of a 'listbox' with 'Flags=MULTISELECT|EXTENDEDSELECT'using :

MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $0 "myfile.ini" "Field 1" "State"

It seems $0 contain all the options chosen separeted by a '|' and I can't do a 'strcmp' to verify : "is this particulary option selected ?"

I'd like to know if someone has developped a function or something to isolate every options that were selected by the user ?

Yes, I know, I could do that all alone, but I don't want to lose my time if it's already done;) Moreover, it'd be useful to have such a function integrated (I don't know how:))

Thanks

There doesn't seem to be a function in the archive. You can create one using the NSIS string commands.

About the integration of functions: Things that easily done using the scripting language (and you can even share the function) won't be added because it will increase the overhead.

Have a look at the StrTok function in the archive, it may save you some time.
