How to change color of textbox on custom page?
  Hello,

is it possible to change the background color of a textbox on a custom page from grey to white?
Here is my ini-File:

***91;Settings***93;

>NumFields=3

State=0


>***91;Field 1***93;

>Type=Label

Left=0

Top=100

Right=-1

Bottom=120

Text=

>State=0

Flags=NOTIFY

HWND=1967168


>***91;Field 2***93;

>Type=text

Left=0

Top=10

Right=-1

Bottom=90

Text=

>State=""

>Flags=MULTILINE|VSCROLL|READONLY

HWND=4719720


>***91;Field 3***93;

>Type=Checkbox

Left=0

Top=125

Right=-1

Bottom=135

Text=Ignore

State=1

Flags=NOTIFY

HWND=1508582 

>

and here is my code of showCustomPage:

showCheckSummary

>!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "Environment errors" "The following environment checks failed."

 

>;if no errors were found go to done else goto notEqual

 strcmp$9 "false" done notEqual

 notEqual:

 writeinistr "checkSummary.ini" "FIELD 3" "State" "0"

 ;disable next button

  GetDlgItem $R0 $HWNDPARENT 1

  EnableWindow $R0 0


  writeinistr "checkSummary.ini" "FIELD 2" "State" "$ERROR_MESSAGE"


 ;changeColor of textbox from grey to white

  ReadINIStr "$0" "checkSummary.ini" "FIELD 2" "HWND"

 strcpy $0 "4719720"

 GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 1

  SetCtlColors$0 0xFF00FF 0x00FFFF


  InstallOptions::InitDialog /NOUNLOAD "checkSummary.ini"

 InstallOptions::Show 'checksummary.ini'


>done:

 

>FunctionEnd 

>

SetCtlColors $0 0xFF00FF 0x00FFFF

hm,
ok I tried it, but it does not work.
I pasted the two lines before

InstallOptions::InitDialog /NOUNLOAD "checkSummary.ini" 

and deleted the others but the textbox is still grey...
ReadIniString returns the correct value.

add the code between the 2 plugin calls e.g.

  InstallOptions::InitDialog /NOUNLOAD "checkSummary.ini"

ReadINIStr "$0" "checkSummary.ini" "FIELD 2" "HWND"
SetCtlColors $0 0xFF00FF 0x00FFFF

  InstallOptions::Show 'checksummary.ini'

and use either the mui macro system to read/write the ini and call the plugin, or you need to type "$PLUGINSDIR\checkSummary.ini" every time.
