Install progress percentage
I am back to NSIS forum after a long break. Anyways hope all you are fine.

I generally use TitleProgress plugin to show progress percentage in the install page title page. Is there any other option to show the percentage in the client window ie: below the progress bar.?

Im trying to modifying the source of titleprog dll to make it appear in the client window. Still now I cant make it working, can anyone help me on that code?.

Check attachment for the src file, change .txt to .cpp.

#define FixTitleAorW(ch_t,ch_sf,percent) do{\
cch=SendMessage##ch_sf(hwndNSIS,WM_GETTEXT,++cch,(LPARAM)buf);\
ch_t* p=&(((ch_t*)buf)[cch-1]);\
if (*p==MakeCh##ch_sf('%')) \
{\
while(*p!=MakeCh##ch_sf(' '))--p;\
}\
else\
++p;\
wsprintf##ch_sf(p,MakeCh##ch_sf(" %u%%"),percent);\
SendMessage##ch_sf(hwndNSIS,WM_SETTEXT,0,(LPARAM)buf);\
}while(0)

These lines gets and sets the percentage to title. You can add a parameter to this plugin so that you can specify a control identify to set text, or modify it directly in the soure.

Whats the need of both Ascii or Unicode chars setting here ? Can I handle only Unicode and remove ascii part from the source code?

If you want to but that plugin has been written to handle both without the need for two plugin DLL's.
