Cancel button issue with multiple custom pages

Hi, I have a few custom pages in my installer, all doing different things, but if the user clicks "Cancel" on any of these pages, it just takes them to the next page (it shows the abort message too). Just wondering if i can make the "Cancel" button directly exit the installer, or exit normally, or just at all would be great.

The function for the custom pages are like this but it happens with all the custom pages it seems:

Function InstallMap

         call InstallMapData

         

         ${If} $need_map == "no"

               goto map_exists

         ${ElseIf} $need_map == "yes"

              Call InstallMapPack

              ;Display the InstallOptions dialog

              InstallOptions::dialog "$PLUGINSDIR\installmap.ini"

              Pop $0

         ${EndIf}

map_exists:

FunctionEnd

thanks for any help

Hi zbd!

Could you attach the whole piece of code?

Cheers

script attached

Hi again Bruno,
I must warn this is very mashed up and a lot of unnecessary stuff in there, i will try and tell u which lines the things that matter are.
Script is attached...

Line ~ 50 - 70 - Var's i'm using for the pages
Line 124 - 131 - Custom pages
Line 162 - 240 - Custom page Functions
Line 335 - 340 - InstallCAB used in most of the custom pages
Line 420 - 500 - One of the components being checked and installed
Line 464 - Variable being set to show page or not
Line 841 - 875 - .onInit ini files etc being extracted/reserved


It just seems strange to me that it will give me the abort warning message when i click "Cancel", then i click yes and it just goes to the next page.

Hope you can help, thanks

Hi zbd!

I couldn't spot anything wrong. Is it working with MUI? I don't know XPUI, sorry.

Cheers

I think its almost exactly the same, but yeah i'm using a skinning system with XPUI, Its very strange, seems to happen with every custom page.
Is there a way i can make a custom AbortWarning?
I would have to detect when they clicked the Cancel button tho

Thanks Bruno

Hi zbd!

Hmmm, this behaviour is really weird!

It is possible to create your own abort warning. Write your code in the .onUserAbort callback function:

 Function .onUserAbort

   MessageBox MB_YESNO "Abort install?" IDYES NoCancelAbort

     Abort ; causes installer to not quit.

   NoCancelAbort:

 FunctionEnd

sorry, newb-ness kicking in,
I tried just putting that function in my code, it says it exists already? i cant find it

Ok, XPUI must have occupied this function for its own stuff. Have a look into the documentation of XPUI. It might provide the possibility to create your own function.

MUI has a similar behaviour with .onGUIInit. If you want to execute your own code, you have to create your own myGUIInit function and introduce a line like this one:

!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT myGUIInit

Ur a champ Bruno, it's almost doing what i want now, i just renamed that last .onUserAbort func and included !define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_ABORT "UserAbort" so it is using the Function you gave.

It is now closing the installer as soon as i press Cancel, there is no Abort Warning, but I can deal with that i hope.

Thanks for ur help, its very much appreciated.

You're welcome.

Well I guess you could use this code anyway.

    Function UserAbort

       MessageBox MB_YESNO "Abort install?" IDYES NoCancelAbort

         Abort ; causes installer to not quit.

       NoCancelAbort:

     FunctionEnd

Cheers

Bruno

Yeah, willdo

thanks again mate, Zbd
