Install Options --> Resource Hacker

Ok, Trying (again 😛) to get to right numbers of the dialog:
I got this source code:



105 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 280, 162

STYLE DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_CENTER | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU

CAPTION ""

LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US

FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg", FW_DONTCARE, FALSE, 0

{

   CONTROL "Joel Almeida García", 1098, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 100, 100, 66, 11 

}

My question is, wich are the values for the top, right, left, bottom?

The last four numbers of the CONTROL line: 100, 100, 66, 11.
Left is 100, top is 100, right is 100+66, bottom is 100+11.

The plus 100 in right and botton, are because the values in
left and top?

Yes, 66 and 11 are offsets from top/bottom.

Yupi !!! It's works.... 👍 no more 45 mins. of pain
in the "tochie" 😛

JoelMarch 2, 2003 at 3:41 PM#

in "text" fields is not the same, isn't? 🙁



CONTROL "", (..) 113, 138, 108, 13

the .ini:



Left=113	 

Top=138 

Right=221 

Bottom=151

What's the problem?

JoelMarch 2, 2003 at 3:53 PM#

the textbox doesn´t show....
I think because the limit of the dialog (modern.exe) is 330X220
in the ini values are more than the limits...

deguixMarch 2, 2003 at 3:59 PM#

? The limit to create a page with install options is 300 X 140. (in modern UI).

kichikMarch 2, 2003 at 4:01 PM#

The limit of the modern dialog is 300x140. A big part of that textbox is outside of that boundry.

JoelMarch 2, 2003 at 4:11 PM#

Yea...so:
CONTROL "", (..) 113, 138, 108, 13
what's the correct units for:
Left=
Top=
Right=
Bottom=

kichikMarch 2, 2003 at 4:26 PM#

There are no. It's too much far to the bottom, it crosses the bottom boundry.

JoelMarch 2, 2003 at 4:32 PM#

thanks... I tweak the values for the textbox... It worked
I'm going to try the rest of the objects and than
I'll put in the Nsis archive the tutorial.... hehehe

The tutorial is almost finished, need some push:

How can I put a icon or Bitmap in Install Options?
I mean the picture file not the code... 😉

kichikMarch 3, 2003 at 10:59 AM#

Use type=bitmap or type=icon.

JoelMarch 3, 2003 at 6:18 PM#

yes, but I mean put the image in the dialog...

kichikMarch 3, 2003 at 6:24 PM#

I am sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Just extract the bitmap/icon, and set the control's Text field to the path to the icon/bitmap.

GetTempFileName $0
File /oname=$0 mybitmap.bmp
WriteIniStr $PLUGINS\myIni.ini "Field 5" Text $0

Thanks kichik. Later today I'll put my tutorial. 🙂
