Archive: Reading more than 1024 chars from a text area.


Reading more than 1024 chars from a text area.
Reading from a MUI custom page text area usually is done via

MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ

Fine, unless my text area contains more than 1024 chars.

Is there a way to read a text area (1024 chars), then read more if necessary (if more text area input is available). E.g. similar to how FileRead works. Is there an alternative to MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ that I can use to read multiple 1024 text segments if needed.

Or, is the only solution to use the special 8K NSIS build?

Yep, I can't see any other way.

System plug-in can help to alloc more then 8k. You find alloc example here http://nsis.sourceforge.net/External_License_file but you can try to find something better in Wiki as well.
