License page checkbox — NSIS Forum Archive

Nah, but how can U implement scroll detection?

I agree with Sunjammer, you can't MAKE someone read a license if they don't want to, and what will you achieve anyway (besides annoying them)? On the other hand, I sometimes use the license page to display some preliminary information that should be read before installing. In such a case, virtlink's idea sounds good

disable the I Agree-button until the user has scrolled till the end of the license.

But how can you detect when the page has been scrolled to the bottom?
Could you post an example?
Edit:
Whoops, I think he meant this as a feature suggestion, not something that is already possible in the current version.

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

It is a great OPTION, but, as an anwer to Mottel, I don't think that it is possible (not even now, v. 2.0b4) to detect whether the user has scrolled to the end of the textbox.

A scroll check is very annoying. If you reinstall/modify the app, and already know the license, you have to scroll down every time again.

I think it doesn't help either. A checkbox prevents people from just pressing enter. But if they don't want to read it, they will scroll without reading.

I agree with that. I think that the checkbox or the radiobuttons are already annoying enough. 🙂
Great work tough. It brings NSIS a step closer to being an alternative for InstallShield.
