I've try very long to insert the code for the picture in my .nsi but it doesn't work.

Could anybody help me and write the code for the picture in my patch.nsi?

It would be very friendly from you.
Thank you

Here is the Patch.nsi without the code for the picture:

copied from IO documentation:
"TEXT=For icon and bitmaps control this specifies the path to the image."
you have to extract the bmp to $PLUGINSDIR and specify it's path on text entry of image control. i.e.
[field 2]
Type=Bitmap
Text=$PLUGINSDIR\mybitmap.bmp
Left=60
Right=120
Top=20
Bottom=80

Hi,
thx red wine for the help.

It works .. i see now a picture in the custom page..

But it should be that a picture is only shown when the user choose something in a droplist from this custom page.

When he choose as example Low in the droplist the picture 1.bmp will be shown.

When he choose Middle in the droplist the picture 2.bmp will be shown.

Could anybody say me how I can do this?

I hope you understand what I mean.. my english isn't very good.

make the droplist flags=NOTIFY and in your IO page leave function check the state and rewrite the image text= to point to the other bitmap.
See included IO example testnotify.nsi to find out how to manage the NOTIFY flag and use it to change controls

Once you have callback functions you can add and change image using EBanner plug-in.

I've realy try to understand the testnotify.nsi in the example folder but all what i've try was wrong. It has never works.

Without help I don't understand it..

And if somebody could write me the script i could lern how it works and the next time i would know how i can do a script like this.

I hope you understand me.

It's very difficult to works with nsis if the english isn't very good.
