Archive: Navigate custom pages


Navigate custom pages
I'm writing installer but it needs to have a few custom pages that are showing when specified radio buttons is selected on components page.

I was trying to "call" my function with custom page from specific section that is selected but then whole installer is suspending but I need to kill him from task mgr.

I can try to put custom pages to show in specific order at the beginning of my script, but I'll have all pages even those I don't want to show. But maybe I can navigate them. Maybe it's possible to do something in specific section like when radiobutton 1 is selected then in section 1 of my installer I can put command like page = page + 2 or something like this?

Thanks for help!


You cannot call page functions from a section - sections are all executed inside the INSTFILES page.

You can simply add the optional page normally, then in its prefunction call 'abort' to skip it.


it's something like if radiobutton selected page abort?

can you past here sample code?


function YourPagePre
${If} ${SectionIsSelected} ${YourSection}
abort
${EndIf}
functionend


Thanks but I can't get it to work...

I have something like that:

Function MyCustomPage
${If} ${SectionIsSelected} ${sec1}
Abort
${EndIf}
FunctionEnd

Section "statistics / v. lokalna" sec1
SectionEnd

Section /o "statistics / v. sieciowa" sec2
SectionEnd

Function .onSelChange
SectionSetSize ${sec1} 1289000
SectionSetSize ${sec2} 1299000

!insertmacro StartRadioButtons $1
!insertmacro RadioButton ${sec1}
!insertmacro RadioButton ${sec2}
!insertmacro EndRadioButtons
FunctionEnd


and it looks like it's not working for me :- (

Can you help, please?

I have changed it a bit and now it looks like...

Function IP_ADDRESS
${If} ${SectionIsSelected} ${sec2}
MessageBox MB_OK "IP: NETWORK"
${Else}
MessageBox MB_OK "IP: LOCAL"
Abort
${EndIf}
FunctionEnd

Section "local" sec1
SectionEnd

Section /o "network" sec2
SectionEnd

Function .onSelChange
!insertmacro StartRadioButtons $1
!insertmacro RadioButton ${sec1}
!insertmacro RadioButton ${sec2}
!insertmacro EndRadioButtons
FunctionEnd


It looks like for NSIS section ${sec2} is always selected. Help please! :-(
