manipulate custom pages on run-time
Hello,

my situation is as follows: I have some ini file which contains a text. This text should be displayed in a custom page.

How do I do that?

thanks a lot!

Look at ${NSISDIR}\Contrib\InstallOptionsEx\Docs\Readme.html

You won't have InstallOptionsEx installed, so you should look at NSIS\Docs\InstallOptions\Readme.html instead.

Hello,

thanks for the quick responses. I'm sorry to bother you again. I'm quite new to these things.

I understand the documentation how to collect the users input from the custom form. But I wish to change the layout of the custom form at run-time.

It seems to me that this requires a dynamic creation of the ini file which is responsible for the custom form. Or is there any possibility to change the content of a label for instance on run-time?

Thank you very much!

Jakob

Yeah, before you load the ini file for a custom page (with InstallOptions::initDialog), just do a WriteINIStr to the field you want.

Function CustomPre
  WriteINIStr "myfile.ini" "Field 1" "Text" "New Text"

  InstallOptions::initDialog
  Pop $R0
FunctionEnd

[Settings]
NumFields=1
[Field 1]
Type=Label
Text=bla
