Some question about nsDialog (with code)
Hi folks,

I was going like this...code below...

My questions, i would be very glad, if someone helps me...

1) How can I place a CreateLabel left of CreateText or in other Words, I need a single Line Input with a description before it.

Temperature: <Userinput>
Pressure: <Userinput>
and many paramters more...


2) How can I make the nsDialog windows BIGGER !
I have about 40 Parameters to input, and so I need a bigger field, because I want to do this on one page

Thanks for your answers !

Greetings Jochen Graulberger from Black-Forrest !

Ok, first question I found out. Per x y setting I can "plot" every field where I want. (Even its a unconvenient thing to work with pixels again !)

But question two i need an answer

1. you don't need to use pixels (10). You can also use dialog units (10u) which depend on DPI settings and percentages (10%)..

2. you'll need to use a different UI. MUI is bigger than the standard NSIS, UMUI and ExperienceUI are bigger still. Each impose a bit of their own styles so if you want to make your own UI you'll have to do something like editing the Contrib\UIs\modern.exe with a resource editor and changing things from there
