Function SizeInstFilesColumn

FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT

FindWindow $0 "SysListView32" "" $0

!ifndef LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH

!define LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH 4126 ;(LVM_FIRST + 30)

!endif

SendMessage $0 ${LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH} 0 0xFFFF

FunctionEnd



Section

DetailPrint "Scrolllllllllllling for this long entry, leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeets hope soooooooooooooooo hah"

call SizeInstFilesColumn

SectionEnd



Page InstFiles

Thanks.

Thanks Anders.

This works, how can we add this in uninstall pages as well?

change Function/FunctionEnd to !macro/!macroend and call to !insertmacro

Yes Andres, it works, thanks again.
But the problem is after adding this piece of code my installer becomes very slow and hags often.

If you remove the code again (and only that code), does that speed it back up?

Yes after removing the code, its working fine.

you should only call SizeInstFilesColumn once (in installer and uninstaller) not after every detailprint

Yeah i have done it only once. I have inserted that macro in my installer and uninstaller section alone.

Hi Anders,

I have one more doubt, the above code shows a scroll bar based on the text printed in detailprint, how to make the scroll bar dynamic based on the installation log printed.

Thanks,
Sadeesh
