progressbar manipulation
Is it possible to manipulate the progressbar to increase / decrease the space for a certain section of the de-, installer progress?

:up:

It is possible. But you need to do this inside a function (but this function can be called from a section), because when you put this code in a section, it doesn't work (NSIS sets the progress indicator bar position value everytime when passing by a command):

!define PBM_SETPOS 0x0402

># !define PBM_DELTAPOS 0x0403


# Use PBM_DELTAPOS if you want to increment,

# not to set, the value.


>Section


># Other things


>FindWindow $R0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT

GetDlgItem $R0 $R0 1004


Call ChangeProgressIndicatorBarPosition


># Other things


>SectionEnd


>Function ChangeProgressIndicatorBarPosition


StrCpy$0 50 # Set indicator bar in position "50%"


>IntOp $0 $0 * 300


SendMessage $R0${PBM_SETPOS} $0 ""


># If you want to see the show above, put a

# MessageBox command after the command above,

# so it doesn't disappear, until you click OK.


# OR if you want to increment, not to set, the new

# position, you can use ${PBM_DELTAPOS}.


# SendMessage $R0 ${PBM_DELTAPOS} $0 ""


>FunctionEnd

is there any way to display the progress bar like the "xp-progress bar"?
i read some threads but i wasn't able to find out exactly if it's possible...

It will use the XP-style progress bar when you are using Windows XP.

If you are not using MUI then make sure you have XPStyle on at the start of your script (MUI includes this automatically), but, of course, only when installing on XP will this have an effect.

and is there any way to make something like this [attached file]

Joost Verburg
5th April 2004 08:02 UTC

Yes, create a UI file with a custom dialog and use window messages.

Dj Nyx
5th April 2004 08:51 UTC

is there a manual "how to create a UI file with a custom dialog and window messages for dummys"? :D

Joost Verburg

No. Get a resource editor to modify the UI file and search MSDN for information about window messages to use.

Dj Nyx
5th April 2004 14:37 UTC

ok.
one more question...
do you know a simple resource editor?
and which file is the ui file
[i'm a total greenhorn]

Joost Verburg

See the Modern UI Readme.

Custom pages > Customize standard dialogs

ok I was able to make 5 checkboxes in the modern.exe [for me this is no mean feat :D ]
now the next step is to set the caption of the checkbox.
[name of section 1 is caption of checkbox 1, ...]
I rumaged many sites, but I'm still planless... [I know I'm a little nerving] :(

Use the WM_SETTEXT message with a string.

Dj Nyx
6th April 2004 08:39 UTC

first i tried it with a sample from the archive:


    GetDlgItem $R0 $HWNDPARENT 3

    SendMessage $R0${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR: pOiSoN"

   MessageBox MB_OK "HWNDPARENT: $HWNDPARENT"

   MessageBox MB_OK "R0: $R0"

and this worked.

then i opened the ressource hacker and I assigned the checkbox the id 3333.

    GetDlgItem $R0 $HWNDPARENT "#3333"

   SendMessage $R0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR: pOiSoN"

   MessageBox MB_OK "HWNDPARENT: $HWNDPARENT"

   MessageBox MB_OK "R0: $R0"

but it doesn't work.

do you know whats my failure?

deguix
6th April 2004 11:05 UTC

It's clear why that's happening because you did put "#3333", not the correct "3333".

Joost Verburg
6th April 2004 14:25 UTC

If it's on the inner dialog you'll have to use the handle of that dialog. See users manual section 4.9.14.6.

ok thank you very very much joost
respect to you patience ;-)

this is the working code [only 3 lines, i can't take it ~gg~]

Var window


Section"Hauptgruppe" SEC01FindWindow $window "#32770" "" 


>FindWindow $window "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT 

GetDlgItem $R0 $window "3333"

>SendMessage $R0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR: textofthecheckbox"

hi again :rolleyes:
i opened the

List of common Windows Messages
By KiCHiK

file

with which option am I able to change the status of the checkbox [checked/unchecked]?

Joost Verburg
6th April 2004 17:06 UTC

It's not in that list. See MSDN or http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....hreadid=175303

Dj Nyx
13th April 2004 09:22 UTC

so, now everything works...

i have 5 checkboxes and i am able to "check" or "uncheck" them... great :p
i don't know if its necessary to post my code. shall i?¿

Joost Verburg
13th April 2004 12:09 UTC

Yes, it's always useful for others.

Dj Nyx
13th April 2004 12:32 UTC

ok it's not really elaborate...

first i made 5 checkboxes [with a resource editor: "Resource Hacker"][into the modern.exe]
then i gave them the ids "3333", "3334", "3335", "3336" & "3337".

so, now i had to set the captions...
first you have to set a variable [in my code it is $InstallWindow]

Var InstallWindow


Section"createWindow" SEC01

>;1st

    FindWindow $InstallWindow"#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT 

    GetDlgItem $R0 $InstallWindow "3333"

   SendMessage $R0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR: Caption1"

>;2nd

    GetDlgItem $R0 $InstallWindow "3334"

   SendMessage $R0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR: Text2"

>;3rd

    GetDlgItem $R0 $InstallWindow "3335"

   SendMessage $R0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR: Text3"

>;4th

    GetDlgItem $R0 $InstallWindow "3336"

   SendMessage $R0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR: Text4"

>;5th

    GetDlgItem $R0 $InstallWindow "3337"

   SendMessage $R0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR: Text5"

>SectionEnd 

>

So now i can check/uncheck any box with


GetDlgItem $R0 $InstallWindow "3333"

>SendMessage $R0 ${BM_SETCHECK} ${BST_CHECKED} ""


>GetDlgItem $R0 $InstallWindow "3335"

>SendMessage $R0 ${BM_SETCHECK} ${BST_UNCHECKED} ""

so now I have a little problem [its not really important...]

i had the captions of the ckeckboxes in a languages.nsh
[

LangString CUSTOM_INSTFILES_CHECKBOX_FIRST${LANG_GERMAN} "Ein Männlein steht im Walde ganz still und stumm, Es hat von lauter Purpur ein Mäntlein um. Sagt, wer mag das Männlein sein, Das da steht im Wald allein. Mit dem purpurroten Mäntelein. "

]

i read somewhere here that i have to include this language file at the bottom...
no problem...until i tried to uninstall this...

i think that the language.nsh isn't include...
what can i do?

Joost Verburg
14th April 2004 09:56 UTC

Use an uninstaller langauge string (.un prefix) for the uninstaller.

Dj Nyx
14th April 2004 10:16 UTC

oh, thx

Dj Nyx
15th April 2004 14:16 UTC

and it goes on...

is there a way to make the caption of a checkbox bold?
i looked in the winmessages.nsh, but havent found what i need...

Joost Verburg
15th April 2004 16:17 UTC

WM_SETFONT / CreateFont

Dj Nyx
16th April 2004 07:12 UTC

ok in my example this is...


    CreateFont $2 "Tahoma" 10 700

    SendMessage $R0${WM_SETFONT} $2 0 

>

Dj Nyx
16th April 2004 07:24 UTC

but i am not able to make the first caption "bold" then the second......

if i use WM_SETFONT 2 times only the last executes

Dj Nyx
16th April 2004 08:48 UTC

ok now i use "createfont" 5 times... it works [obviously you can't use one font for more than one caption]
