I would make an DropList for a custom page

Hi
I make an installer for counter-strike and I would, that the user can choose on an custom page which netsettigs he has.

This is my netsettings.ini:

[Settings]

NumFields=1



[Field 1]

Type=Droplist

ListItems=LAN|56K Modem|ISDN|D-ISDN|S-DSL|A-DSL|Cable |Q-DSL|DSL mit FP

Left=2

Right=109

Top=1

Bottom=126

Here is an example:

http://www.cs-expert.de/netsettings.php

How can I specify what happens whith the setting LAN, 56KMODEM...

Example

This is the code for lan:

Lan:
[CODE]
${FileJoin} "$INSTDIR\cstrike\userconfig.cfg" "$INSTDIR\Infos\Lan.cfg" "$INSTDIR\cstrike\userconfig.cfg"[CODE]

I hope you can understand what I mean. My english isn't very good

On the page leave function you need to read the State with ReadINIStr.

Hy Afrow UK

thank you!

You always help me.

But it isn't work. There comes always the error



ReadINIStr $R0 [Field 1]:State from $PLUGINSDIR\ioFile.ini

StrCmp expects 3-4 parameters, got 5.

Ah sorry i've forgot to write the code from the Netsettings Page





Function NetsettingsPage

!insertmacro SectionFlagIsSet ${Section2} ${SF_SELECTED} ShowPage SkipPage

ShowPage:



   !insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "Konfiguration des Erweiterungs System" "Wählen Sie, mit welcher Verbindung sie spielen."

   !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "netsettings.ini"



SkipPage:



FunctionEnd

YathoshoJuly 24, 2005 at 11:27 AM#

there's a space in StrCmp $R0 "56K Modem" 0 not56K Modem, so it's being interpreted as 5 parameters. it should be "not56K-Modem" instead.

same with "notDSL mit FP".

GuestJuly 24, 2005 at 12:29 PM#

Hy,

thank you it compiles successfully. And the custom page starts too. But the e.g. LAN.cfg does't connect with the userconfig.cfg. Is it possible that file join doesn't works with *.cfg ?

What could I do that it works?

Thank you

Marc

Just a guess but it could be because of this:
${FileJoin} "$INSTDIR\cstrike\userconfig.cfg" "$INSTDIR\Infos\Cable.cfg" "$INSTDIR\cstrike\userconfig.cfg"

The function will probably be reading from userconfig.cfg and trying to write to userconfig.cfg at the same time which will not work.
Make the last parameter "$INSTDIR\cstrike\userconfig.cfg.x" and then do:

Delete "$INSTDIR\cstrike\userconfig.cfg"

Rename "$INSTDIR\cstrike\userconfig.cfg.x" "$INSTDIR\cstrike\userconfig.cfg"

But it doesn't work. It doesn't copy the netsettings.cfg.

Do anybody know why it doesn't work.

deguixJuly 25, 2005 at 8:37 AM#

You need to create directories first for the CopyFiles target directories (example: "$INSTDIR\cstrike"). Use CreateDirectory instruction to create those directories. Or maybe the files indicated to copy don't exist. Please explain the situation more, like, put a MessageBox instruction on the start of the page leave function and verify which files or directories exist or not.

GuestJuly 25, 2005 at 10:05 AM#

Hy all the directories exists.

And all Files, too.

But I don't know why it isn't works

I've made an short installer.

Could anybody show why it doesn't works ?

Thank you

GuestJuly 27, 2005 at 4:51 PM#

Haven't you an idea?

Please help me

iceman_kJuly 27, 2005 at 6:36 PM#

Try this.

GuestJuly 28, 2005 at 8:24 AM#

Hy thank you it works (-: (-:

Is it possible, that the user can only click on next when he has choose an option?

In the netsettings.ini the State is :

State=

So there is an white field and when this white field is active the user shouldn't not click on next.

How can I do this ?

Thank you

iceman_kJuly 28, 2005 at 1:23 PM#

In the custom page leave function, call Abort if the state is blank. Maybe also show a message box with the error to the user.

GuestJuly 29, 2005 at 4:53 AM#

Hy isn't it possible only to make the next botton transparent and when the user has choose an option he can click on next?

Like in the Install page. There the user can't click on abort.

Can you give me an example ?

Thank you

GuestJuly 30, 2005 at 7:04 AM#

PLS HELP ME

iceman_kJuly 30, 2005 at 10:12 AM#

Search the forum- this question has been asked before.

GuestJuly 31, 2005 at 6:25 AM#

Hy I've search but I can't find it.

My english isn't very good so it is difficult to understand.

Pls help me.

Can you write the code in the drop list.nsi which iceman_k has writes?

Pls it would be very friendly when you help me.
