Cant read text box
HI,

FIRST OF ALL CONGRATULATIONS!! YOU DEVELOPED A VERY USEFULL APPLICATION. THANKS TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS...

i´m trying to add some new features to the NSIS instaler and as i´m not very familiar with Visual C++ i have some doubts.

1) I inserted a text box where the user should type some information and i need to validate what the user wrote, and only after that the user could proceed the installation process. Is it possible? is there any example you could send me?

2) is it possible to change the font size and use an bold font on the installer screens? How could i do that?

Thanks for your support.

Jose

Zepa,

since you're new here, welcome. Do not forget to read this.

To help you searching:
1) Use InstallOptions, example (RegCode): http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....threadid=85673
(RegCode asks for RegName and RegCode and verifies using a small external exe, the implentation could be simplified by using MultIni4, see thread above)
or

2) Not possible without recompiling NSIS, see for instance http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....threadid=87601

Jose,

sorry, I do not program in C, so I cannot help you with changing the font and recompiling. So this is a call for all other members. If you know, feel free to post the answer :D!

Good luck, greetz,

Maybe later
I can probably work out how to do it but not knowing the InstallOptions.dll source code yet (well I'm learning it at the mo 'cause I'm hacking in a ListView dialog 'cause I need one) I can't do it immediately.

If you are still looking to work this out when I find some free time then I'll look at it for you. I don't know how long it will be before I get time though, could be a few days.
