Custom Pages in NSIS and InstallOptions:text
Hey guys,

I'm trying to create a some custom .ini files to mimic the functionality of a license page.

But i'm having some problems with InstallOptions:text,

I wanna create a "text" similar to the one used in the default License Page, with these properties

- text is readonly
- background is white

and most important

- Has clickable links within the "text"

Any ideas?


There is a READONLY flag for "Flag" INI value name of the field that does the first 2 things. The third thing is not possible.


You could use this plugin to display an HTML page, but you don't have a 'I agree' check-box or whatever though.

Perhaps you could ask the author to add this functionality.

What you could do though, is change the Next button text to say "I agree" or something like that with SendMessage.

HTML is good but..
Thats a good suggestion with the html, i tried it, but my boss wants a custom page, so i cant have the html take over everything.


deguix was going to add the code from that plugin into his InstallOptionsEx plugin, but I'm not sure how far that's gone.
I'm sure one of them will reply some time soon.

To reach that point in supporting links, I would need to import a new control to IOEx called RichEdit (the same control as on License page). But first, I need to finish what I'm doing, so no IOEx development has been done since I released the lastest version.


Thanks for you input, right now i just used InstallOptionsEx to turn the background of the text white, so its definately a step in the right direction. If you would consider adding richtext support to IOex like you mentioned that would be awsome and solve my problem competely.
