Archive: Position of section descriptions
Position of section descriptions
In some installers made with NSIS I saw the components' description box below the listbox of the components, not to its right side, as it seems to be the normal way. How do I achieve that? Is the listbox widened automatically to the right if the description box is placed below it?
!define MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_SMALLDESC

Yep, that was it. Thanks.
But the description box seems to give place for two line only (remainder disappears). Is there a way of making it scrollable?
The description will disappear as soon as the user moves away the mouse cursor from the section, so using a scrollbox would make no sens, because the user couldn't use it anyway...
Use Resource Hacker to edit the UI executable in Contrib\UIs.

@LoRd_MuldeR:
Yes, that's clear. But I meant something different. Is there a way to enlarge the box vertically?
@Afrow UK:
How do I do that?
Resource Hacker can be found via Google and it's fairly straight forward to use.

another recommendation is XN Resource Editor, opensource and modern. i don't know if it has commandline-support though, like ResHacker.
