SectionFlagIsSet question
Hi all,

this one has me stumped, as I copied most of it straight out of the examples. I found a lot of other code going about it the same way but mine just doesn't work:

I have an options page that only needs to be shown when a section is NOT checked. Here is the section definition.

SectionGroup /e "Geoid Model Files"
        Section "North American Geoid" SecNAGeoidModelFiles
                SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
                File /r .\..\..\etc\geoidmodel
        SectionEnd
SectionGroupEnd

To decide whether SecNAGeoidModelFiles is checked or not, I test with:

!insertmacro SectionFlagIsSet ${SecNAGeoidModelFiles} ${SF_SELECTED} 0 show

but this never jumps to show, regardless of the selection state. The test always comes out true, no matter what.

Any ideas?
Thanks

1. Make sure you're using the macro below the actual Section in your NSIS script.

2. It may not let you use 0 for the jump. Try a label.

Hey Afrow,

moving it below the sections did the trick. Scary stuff...

Thanks,

You should have had a warning from the compiler about this.

Something along the lines of "unknown constant SecNAGeoidModelFiles, ignoring"
