Make whole section group read-only?

Hey guys,

I searched the docs, forums, wiki and even Google, but couldn't find an answer to my question: Is it somehow possible to make a whole (sub-) section group read-only?

For example

Root

 +-[ ] A

 I  +-[ ] A1

 I  +-[ ] A2

 I

 +-[ ] B

 I  +-[ ] B1

 I  +-[ ] B2

 I

 +-[ ] C

is the structure - how to make B, B1 and B2 read-only?
Unfortunately, using "SectionIn RO" only works for B1 & B2..

Best regards,
Martin.. 🙂

could try poking at it with setting the section flags directly

But where to set the flags? Within the specific section group? Within the .onInit-function? 🙂

BTW: Happy New Year! 🙂

You can set the flags in any function before the components page is swon.

.onInit will work just fine:

!include Sections.nsh



...



SectionGroup "B" my_ro_group



  ; use "SectionIn RO" for subsections

  Section "B1"

    SectionIn RO

  SectionEnd



  ...



SectionGroupEnd



Function .onInit

  !insertmacro SetSectionFlag ${my_ro_group} ${SF_RO}

FunctionEnd

And a happy new year to you too. 🙂

Ok, got the basic procedure from http://nsis.sourceforge.net/IfFileEx..._Section_Flags and the available flags from Sections.nsh's comments, _but_:

Normal flag value: 43
Read-only value: 59 (because SF_RO equals to 16)

Result (according to my scheme in post #1): "Root" gets read-only, A can still be unchecked and A1 & A2 are still read-only as before..

The code used

(...)

SectionGroup /e "!My Stuff"

 SectionGroup /e "My App" myAPP

  Section

   (...)

  SectionEnd

  <more sections>

 SectionGroupEnd

 SectionGroup /e "!Extras" myXTS

  <more sections>

 SectionGroupEnd

SectionGroupEnd

(...)

Function ".onInit"

 SectionSetFlags myAPP 59

FunctionEnd

(...)

Any help would still be greatly appreciated! 😉

Okay, using "myAPP" instead of "${myAPP}" was the cause, so finally everything is just like expected, thanks to:

(...)

!include "Sections.nsh"

(...)

SectionGroup /e "!My Stuff"

 SectionGroup "!My App" myAPP

  <some sections>

 SectionGroupEnd

 (...)

SectionGroupEnd

(...)

Function ".onInit"

 SectionSetFlags ${myAPP} 27 # equals to "SF_SELECTED (1) && SF_SECGRP (2) && SF_BOLD (8) && SF_RO (16)"

FunctionEnd

(...)

Again, thanks _a lot_, Animaether and trueparuex! 🙂

Best regards,
Martin..
