Navigate custom pages

I'm writing installer but it needs to have a few custom pages that are showing when specified radio buttons is selected on components page.

I was trying to "call" my function with custom page from specific section that is selected but then whole installer is suspending but I need to kill him from task mgr.

I can try to put custom pages to show in specific order at the beginning of my script, but I'll have all pages even those I don't want to show. But maybe I can navigate them. Maybe it's possible to do something in specific section like when radiobutton 1 is selected then in section 1 of my installer I can put command like page = page + 2 or something like this?

Thanks for help!

You cannot call page functions from a section - sections are all executed inside the INSTFILES page.

You can simply add the optional page normally, then in its prefunction call 'abort' to skip it.

Thanks but I can't get it to work...

I have something like that:

Function MyCustomPage
${If} ${SectionIsSelected} ${sec1}
Abort
${EndIf}
FunctionEnd

Section "statistics / v. lokalna" sec1
SectionEnd

Section /o "statistics / v. sieciowa" sec2
SectionEnd

Function .onSelChange
SectionSetSize ${sec1} 1289000
SectionSetSize ${sec2} 1299000

!insertmacro StartRadioButtons $1
!insertmacro RadioButton ${sec1}
!insertmacro RadioButton ${sec2}
!insertmacro EndRadioButtons
FunctionEnd
and it looks like it's not working for me :- (

Can you help, please?

I have changed it a bit and now it looks like...

Function IP_ADDRESS
${If} ${SectionIsSelected} ${sec2}
MessageBox MB_OK "IP: NETWORK"
${Else}
MessageBox MB_OK "IP: LOCAL"
Abort
${EndIf}
FunctionEnd

Section "local" sec1
SectionEnd

Section /o "network" sec2
SectionEnd

Function .onSelChange
!insertmacro StartRadioButtons $1
!insertmacro RadioButton ${sec1}
!insertmacro RadioButton ${sec2}
!insertmacro EndRadioButtons
FunctionEnd
It looks like for NSIS section ${sec2} is always selected. Help please! :-(
