Sorry but i didn't succeed

currently i am using the:

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_TEXT "Hurray finished the installation\r\nTHIS SHOULD BE A BOLD LINE"

i want the capitalized letters to be bold

You cannot do it that way. You have to add another label and set its font individually with CreateFont and SendMessage with WM_SETFONT.

Thanks i finally got it


!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE fin_pre
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW fin_show
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH

Function fin_show

ReadINIStr $0 "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "HWND"
MessageBox MB_OK "${MUI_ICON}"
SetCtlColors $0 0x000000 0xFFFFFF
        FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT
        GetDlgItem $1 $0 1205 ;1200 + Field number - 1
        CreateFont $0 "$(^Font)" "8" "700"; size 8 weight 700 makes it bold 
        SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETFONT} $0 0
FunctionEnd

Function fin_pre

WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Settings" "NumFields" "7"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "Type" "Label"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "Text" "THIS IS THE BOLDED TEXT"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "Left" "120"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "Right" "300"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "Top" "100"
WriteINIStr "$PLUGINSDIR\iospecial.ini" "Field 6" "Bottom" "120"
FunctionEnd

This would be more efficient:


Function fin_show
  GetDlgItem $1 $MUI_HWND 1205 ;1200 + Field number - 1
  SetCtlColors $1 0x000000 0xFFFFFF
  CreateFont $0 "$(^Font)" "8" "700"; size 8 weight 700 makes it bold 
  SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETFONT} $0 0
FunctionEnd

Thanks once again
I encountered a very strange behavior:
I have 2 installers that use both some of the function.
One of these functions is the fin_show.
I located all these functions in a lib.nsh file (in order not to write them twice) and included the lib.nsh in the main script of each installer.

If the function is located in the lib - the text is not bolded.
if it is in the main script it works great.

Make sure that you include it after including WinMessages.nsh and MUI.nsh.

Hi,

I have tried this code to set the MUI_UNPAGE_CONFIRM text to bold but I can't manage to make it work. If I set the code to MUI_PAGE_WELCOME that works correctly. I have tried WinSpy to get ID but don't know what value to take. I must precise that the text of the uninstall confirm is set by !define MUI_UNCONFIRMPAGE_TEXT_TOP "$(TEXT_UNINSTALL)"
Thank you.

In WinSpy its probably Control Id or something like that and the number might be in hex so you have to prefix it with 0x
