A bug and a question..

First the bug:

Latest CVS has a problem with the latest MUI. The Reboot dialog has incorrect background colours for the reboot now, manual reboot text.

CVS from a few days ago is fine.

Now the question:

I have the following custom dialog:

As you can see, I have my Copy code implemented in the "next", this works fine, but I'm having a problem in the "skip" button, this is the Cancel action. Obviously this aborts the install completly. I want to skip to the next dialog. Can this be done. I have tried allsorts, without any luck.

You can't get the cancel button to skip the page, it only cancels. Nice picture btw 😉

I don't know if the picture is showing on this message (it's not for me). You can see the custom dialog in question here:

You need to move your code from your next function to here:

Function CustomDialog

InstallOptions::dialog "mydialog.ini"

Pop $R0

StrCmp $R0 cancel exitpage



myfunction:

##do you're next function ere###



exitpage:

FunctionEnd

Do you have any other ideas what I can do to accomplish this?

Afrow UKJuly 18, 2003 at 2:06 PM#

Ok, never mind.
The cancel button can't do that.

Afrow UKJuly 18, 2003 at 2:07 PM#

Actually, put "Abort" after "exitpage:" in that function.

On second thought, you can use the same method that I suggested in this recent thread:

programatically changing pages? - Winamp & Shoutcast Forums

http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=141867&highlight=back+button

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

Just send that message if you get cancel from IO.

I'm kinda stuck, as the MUI does not allow me to place buttons on it (if I could do this, I could have a dedicated Copy button, and leave next and cancel as they are).

Looking for inspiration on what to do now.

Take a look at the script I linked to in my last post.

Not working yet...

Here is my code..

Push $CustomDialogKeyPress
InstallOptions::dialog "$PLUGINSDIR\rtx.ini"
Pop $CustomDialogKeyPress
;process the return from the dialog
StrCmp $CustomDialogKeyPress "cancel" CancelPressed
StrCmp $CustomDialogKeyPress "back" GoodKeyCopy

CancelPressed:
; sending this OK message (is this too late???)
SendMessage $HWNDPARENT ${WM_COMMAND} ${IDOK} 0

GoodKeyCopy:

Thanks. Fixed the bug 🙂

That would be the quit flag doing its work. I'll let you know if I have another idea.

Thanks. It turns out the SendMessage is a nogo for the Cancel, as it's already in the process of quitting.

I have inplemented it on the "back" and kichik SendMessage trick works fine.

Thanks.
