insert clickable link inside checkbox and label text
Hi all, first of all - i am new here, and if my question is from faq or similar please point me to right direction.
i need to insert clickable link in text on checkbox, i already read docs, searched wiki and forum, and find nothing except some suggestions to edit resulting installer with resource hacker, i have dynamic custom pages via nsdialogs and as i understand resource hacker is not solution here because before installer start dialogs content are unknown, i have an idea to use few controls for this, checkbox without text, few labels and link, but here is another problem, how i can calculate size of this controls properly for good appearance on all dpi's ?

You can use dialog units when you create nsDialog controls...

Dialog units are based on the size of the font

The license page also supports link mid-text. And a checkbox at the bottom.

i have made few tests with units and percents and have problems on different dpi, on large dpi not enough space for text in label, so i can't create "label link label" in line for all dpi's, is any solution for this exists ?

P.S. i need it on custom pages, not on license page

i have found http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-centr.../stub.nsi.html this, in code i see GetTextExtent, but can't find in which plugin it defined..

If it were a plugin, it would be called with pluginname::GetTextExtent. It's however called by ${GetTextExtent}, which is a define. So what you probably need is a header file (nsh). I can't find the !define of gettextext anywhere either, so you'll have to ask whoever created that installer.

i still not solved this...
currently i have following code

                            StrCpy $cur_node3 "1"
                            nsisXML::select "/root/offer[$cur_node]/layout/checkbox[$cur_node2]/label[$cur_node3]"
                            ${While}  $1 != 0
                                nsisXML::getAttribute "link"
                                StrLen $R0 $3
                                ${If} $R0 != 0
                                    MessageBox MB_OK "link: $3"
                                    ${NSD_CreateLink} $x $y% $5 $h% "$7"
                                ${Else}
                                    ${NSD_CreateLabel} $x $y% $5 $h% "$7"
                                ${EndIf}
                                intop $x $x + $5
                                !insertmacro INCREMENT $cur_node3
                                nsisXML::select "/root/offer[$cur_node]/layout/checkbox[$cur_node2]/label[$cur_node3]"
                            ${EndWhile}

here is my solution

                            nsisXML::getAttribute "x"
                            StrCpy $x $3
                            nsisXML::getAttribute "y"
                            StrCpy $y $3
                            nsisXML::getAttribute "w"
                            StrCpy $w $3
                            nsisXML::getAttribute "h"
                            StrCpy $h $3
                            ${NSD_CreateLabel} $0% $0% 100% 100% ""
