InstallOptions: Multiple sets of radio buttons
Is it possible to designate more than one set of radio buttons? For example, to have five radio buttons, a set of three that can be chosen between, and a set of two that can be chosen between, thereby providing the option to have two options picked?

Nevermind. I hacked it out myself. ;-)

since I had to reformat, and since you wouldn't have wanted my version anyway (i took out support for all the controls except radiobuttons and labels, its not available anymore.

however, i can MAKE it available, with all the standard controls, if you want. it just might take some time as i've got some other things going right now.

nah, its ok, the multiple radio's i can do without for now, at the moment i'm working on something and due to the *horrid* way the NSIS scriping language is laid out its taken me about a day to hack it in :weird:

i have a mirror.ini which is generated server side, pulling out all mirrors available, it then displays the mirror list with radios, then i have to loop thru the list in a nasty nasty fashion checking each state, if the state == 1 i store that to a var and continue..

the issues with it arn't massive, just annoying :D

Yeah, I can imagine. NSIS definitely needs a better way to create owner dialogs than InstallOptions, which is big, and not exactly practical. I managed to get the dll down to around 7k or so by cutting out everything I didn't need, and re-writing parts of it. But, that was still too big for my tastes, since with that 7k, I still needed to include several parts of NSIS that I didn't need before to even be able to USE the dll. So, I just had to find an alternate route.

:weird:

if i get time / motivation i'll look into hacking a nicer way of doing things [for me :D ]

im just finishing off the new fadeSplash as we speak.. hopefully it will work on win9X/ME as well now..

i just have to find someone with a win9X machine to test it on

then its back to NSI scripting ;)
