Bug: GetSectionFlags not working correctly
  Hi NSIS-Developers,

maybe I've found a Bug. I had implemented the "Show custom page when a section has been selected" from Wiki Page (see also http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Show_cus..._been_selected ). But this won't work if you have hidden sections before the section you try to get the flags from.

This example will work:

Section "Name of Section" MIP

>...

>SectionEnd


Section "-HiddenSection"

>...

>Section End 

>

and this example doesn't work with the example of the wikipage

Section "-HiddenSection"

>...

>Section End


Section"Name of Section" MIP

>...

>SectionEnd 

>

In this case the Flag will always be "1" and I don't know why. I think this is a bug ... or am I doing something wrong?

Edit:
Here is my Custom Page ...

Page custom Settings

>Function Settings

  SectionGetFlags${MIP} $R0

  IntOp $R0 $R0& ${SF_SELECTED}

 MessageBox MB_OK "R0: $R0"

 IntCmp $R0 ${SF_SELECTED} show

  Abort


  show:

  !insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "Settings" "Please select your Settings for the product"

 !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "settings.ini"

 !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $hostname "settings.ini" "Field 1" "State"

 !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $hosttitle "settings.ini" "Field 2" "State"

 !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $tcpadress "settings.ini" "Field 3" "State"

 !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $port "settings.ini" "Field 4" "State"

 !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $title "settings.ini" "Field 5" "State"

>FunctionEnd 

>

Thank you very much,

Works fine for me. Make sure you reference ${MIP} after the actual section for that is where it becomes defined during the compile process.

Hi Stu,

thanks for your reply. What do you mean by reference ${MIP} after the actual section? My custom page has to be defined after the section for installation?

Sorry, my english isn't the best. ;)

Edit:
I got it (testing). Thank you very much again! :)

Best regards,
Denis
