nsdialog - NSD_CreateDropList - Set Sizes Question.

Hi all,

I have a question about nsdialog when using NSD_CreateDropList...

I want to set the size of the "max" "y" distance that the dialog can go.
ie, when you click on the "Down" button, when it expands, it expands down to a certain "Y" point...

Like with InstallOptions we could do something like:
Type=DropList
Left=225
Top=138
Right=304
Bottom=220

Where the bottom was the "max" height of the dialog when "expanded".

With nsdialog and NSD_CreateDropList, I can't seem to set the "max" "y" size...

For example:

${NSD_CreateDropList} 300 150 150 50 $NSDIALOG_Country

The "50" should specify the "MAX" distance, right?
No matter what I change it to, it seems to not matter...
ie, 16, 50, or 200, they all "expand" to a really long size...

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
Scott

It works for me...

Ah, that did work.

However, with MUI2, it does not!

Change your script to have this instead:

#!include "nsDialogs.nsh"

!include "MUI2.nsh"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
Page custom nsDialogsPage
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH

Now the NSD_CreateDropList call appears to completely ignore the "height" parameter, no matter what size I use, from 30 to 300, the size is always way too big, and extends way beyond the bottom of the Wizard page!

I am attaching the quick mod I did to your script.

BTW, thanks for your help so far!

Droplist behavior is very interesting...

Ha! Yeah, your example really shows the problem in great detail!
Bizarre behaviour isn't it?

Well, I figured out one way to fix it.
I am not convinced its the CORRECT way, however.

In "include\nsDialogs.nsh"

Add:
${CBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT} to:
!define __NSD_DropList_STYLE

ie, the full line becomes:

!define __NSD_DropList_STYLE ${DEFAULT_STYLES}|${WS_TABSTOP}|${WS_VSCROLL}|${WS_CLIPCHILDREN}|${CBS_AUTOHSCROLL}|${CBS_HASSTRINGS}|${CBS_DROPDOWNLIST}|${CBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT}
