see InstallOptions README as well...
activate NOTIFY flag for your Listbox. When Listbox items is clicked, STATE field of Settings section contains the field number of the clicked item.
Example:
Your listbox item is defined in Section [Field 5].
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $0 "custompage.ini" "Settings" "State"
StrCmp $0 5 dolistbox ; listbox was clicked
dolistbox:
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $0 "custompage.ini" "Field 5" "State"
In $0 you have the return value. If more than one items were selected, they are separated by "|".
This stuff is very well documented. Now you know where you can read on...
Event notify in listbox
I did read Install Options 2 Readme file; but it did not answer my question. Here is a scenario. On my custom page, I have a list box prepopulated with a bunch of items and then an edit box. When a user selects an item in a listbox I want to update the contents of the edit box accordingly. How do I do that?
Another question: How do I pass the selections from page to page? E.g. on Page 1, a particular option was selected. How do I show that option selected on the next page? Do I alter the .ini file of the next page before it is displayed?
Thanks.
use those functions - excerpt from my pwd dialog
change dialog items after events and enable next button - use this code in leave function
;set asterisks in my password field [Field 1]
GetDlgItem $DLGITEM $HWND 1200 ; compute 1200 + [Field number] - 1
SendMessage $DLGITEM ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:********"
;enable next button
GetDlgItem $R9 $HWNDPARENT 1
EnableWindow $R9 1

there is another approach for SHOW function - this is an example to modify the MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY page. To modify those you need the "Resource Hacker" Tool to get to know the IDs of the dialog items.
;exactly the example from user manual - 4.9.14.6
FindWindow $R1 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT
GetDlgItem $R0 $R1 1006
SendMessage $R0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:$R3" ;
EnableWindow $R0 1
Just read the documentation of the functions I used and you will be successful.
2nd question:
Use variables to save values from dialogs read with
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ
Use show function of next dialog to write this value into .ini file with !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE
Use !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_INITDIALOG
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_SHOW
to show the dialog. But the usage depends on the situation. Good luck and keep on reading. You try some advanced stuff with NSIS.
