Archive: Dialog layout -- Last item is not visible.


Dialog layout -- Last item is not visible.
I have a simple .ini file of the kind shown and I am using installOptions plug-in to use customized dialog box :
[Settings]
NumFields=10

[Field 1]
Type=GroupBox
Left=0
Right=-1
Top=0
Bottom=500
Text="AV Index Component Installer"

... so on ...
The last two entries are:

[Field 9]
Type=Label
Left=10
Right=-10
Top=116
Bottom=135
Text=Installation Drive:
Flags=GROUP

[Field 10]
Type=Text
Left=100
Right=120
Top=116
Bottom=135
State="c:"
Flags=GROUP

I played around with different positions and sizes (including giving -1 for group box);
but I simply can not get the last text box to show up! Could somebody help me with this?


moved from WADisc to NSIS forum since it had nothing to do with Winamp.

Next time, which URL should I use to post NSIS questions? Thanks.


You should post to this Forum:

As for your question - do you have the complete .ini file 'as is'? If I just copy/paste what you've got and reduce it to just the three fields, the only things I'm noticing are:
1. that thing is huge
2. the label field overlaps the drive box field. Could it be that once it's being displayed that the drive box is simply obscured by the label?

Are you using a graphical InstallOptions file editor at all? If not - I would highly recommend one.. I use one (included with HM NIS edit)
