InstallOption - custom page with skin selection
  Hello
This is my problem. I want to do something like in Winamp installer - Interface and Skin Selection (on custom page we got 3 radiobuttons (modern, classic and Other) - the Other radiobutton is related to droplist)).
The Modern radiobutton is checked by default.

1. How to load to droplist all skins that are located in Winamp skin directory? I use function:


GetSkins

 ;Exch $5

  FindFirst$2 $1 "$INSTDIR\\Skins\\*.*"


 StrCpy $9 ""

 StrCmp $2 "" error

  again:

 StrCmp $1 "" done

  StrCmp$9 "" 0 append

  StrCpy$9 $1

  Goto readnext

  append:

 StrCpy $9 "$9|$1"

 readnext:

 FindNext $2 $1

  Goto again

  done:

 FindClose $2

 ; now write to the ini file

  WriteINIStr"$PLUGINSDIR\\skorki.ini" "Field 7" "ListItems" $9


  DetailPrint$9

  goto finished

  error:

  ; hmmm

  finished:

>FunctionEnd 

>
This function works good, but this displayed all files and folders - I need to display only *.wsz, *.wal and folders, not for example something.txt.
The second issue is that this function returns something like this:
ListItems=.|..|Modern Skin|Classic Skin|
How to remove this .|.. ?

2 problem
How to do, that when I click Classic radiobutton the state of it will be saved to my ini file (I don't know why, but it doesn't work - it is saved but just after clicking Next button and close the page - I want to change its state immediately after click on it).

Or when I click Other radiobutton the state of the droplist will be saved...
(Later, I can use this state saved in ini file to write suitable skin on disk.)

I hope you know what I mean.
Thanks for any help.

States are only saved when the user clicks next. You should read the values in the page leave function.

Stu, thanks.
It works very well, as I want.

A little question, if you don't mind ;)

As I wrote, I got three radiobuttons on page. One of this radiobutton must be connected with dropdown list. So, how to activate dropdown list after clicking on radiobutton and display one of the founded folder (by default the dropdown list is disabled (State=DISABLED)).
I want to do it just like in Winamp installer (Interface and Skin Selection).

Regards!

Use the NOTIFY flag on the radio buttons. It will cause the leave function to be called, where you must check Settings>State for the field number in question (call Abort to go back to the page after manipulating the controls).
See the testnotify.nsi InstallOptions example.
