Textfile to Textbox installoptions

I have been trying to take data from a text file created by the installer and then printing that file to a textbox on my custom finish page. I am trying to use the nsRichEdit which I found on the forum to do this but I'm having a little trouble understanding how the function works. If there is an easier way to do this please let me know. This is all I have so far. I'll read more to try to figure it out but any help would be appreciated.

What I have so far:

Function FinishPage
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $0 ${FINISH_PG} "Field 1" "HWND"
nsRichEdit::Load $0 "$DOCUMENTS\temp\item_list.txt
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY ${FINISH_PG}
FunctionEnd

If it is a regular text box then you cannot use nsRichEdit. The plug-in is for rich edit controls only. For plain text, just read the file into a variable using FileRead (limited to 1024 characters). If that limit is too low, considering using a rich edit control instead (switch to MUI2 and nsDialogs).

If you want to load the license page with an external file you can use nsRichEdit for that too. It will not be limited by NSIS_MAX_STRLEN either (and uses EM_STREAMIN).

Thanks for all the info I decided to just create a file for the user to view as opposed to adding it to the text box in the finish page. 🙂
