InstallOptions is a NSIS plugin which allows you to create custom
-pages for NSIS installers, to prompt the user for extra information.
-
InstallOptions will create a dialog which will be displayed inside
-the NSIS window. The controls on the dialog can be defined in an INI file.
-
NSIS 2 has a new page system, which allows you to add custom pages
-to your installer without messing with Prev/Next functions. With the new plugin
-system, you also don't have to worry anymore about extracting and deleting the DLL
-file. When you store the INI files in the plugins directory, NSIS will also delete
-them automatically.
-
This new version of InstallOptions has been designed for NSIS 2.
-It supports customized user interfaces and custom font and DPI settings.
-
-
The INI file has one required section. This section includes the
-number of controls to be created as well as general window attributes.
-The INI file also includes a variable number of Field sections which are used to
-create the controls to be displayed.
-
The required section is named "Settings".
-It can contain the following values:
-
-
- NumFields |
- (required) |
- The number of control elements to be
- displayed on the dialog window. |
-
- Title |
- (optional) |

Each field section has the heading "Field #" where # must be sequential
-numbers from 1 to NumFields. Each Field section can contain the following values:
-
-
- Type |
- (required) |
- Type of control to be created. Valid
- values are "Label", "Text",
- "Password", "Combobox",
- "DropList", "Listbox",
- "CheckBox", "RadioButton",
- "FileRequest", "DirRequest"
- "Icon", "Bitmap" or
- "GroupBox".
A
- "Label" is used to display static text. (i.e. a caption for a
- textbox) A "Text" and "Password"
- accept text input from the user. "Password" masks the input
- with * characters. A "Combobox" allows the user to type text
- not in the popup list, a "Droplist" only allows selection of
- items in the list. A "listbox" shows multiple items and can
- optionally allow the user to select more than one item. A
- "CheckBox" control displays a check box with label.
- A "RadioButton" control displays a radio button with label.
- A "FileRequest" control displays
- a textbox and a browse button. Clicking the browse button will display a
- file requester where the user can browse for a file. A
- "DirRequest" control displays a textbox and a browse button.
- Clicking the browse button will display a directory requester where the
- user can browse for a directory.
- An "Icon" control displays an icon.
- Use no Text to use the installer icon.
- A "Bitmap" control displays a bitmap.
- A "GroupBox" control displays a frame to group
- controls.
- A "Link" control displays a static hot text and when user click the
- control the contents of the state is shellexecuted. eg: Http://... or mailto:...
- |
-
- Text |
- (optional) |
- Specifies the caption of a label, checkbox, or radio button control.
- For icon and bitmaps control this specifies the path to the image.
- Note: For labels, \r\n will be converted to a newline.
- To use a back-slash in your text you have to escape it using another back-slash - \\.
- Described below are NSIS functions for converting text to/from
- this format. |
-
- State |
- (optional) |
- Specifies the state of the control. This is updated when the user
- closes the window, so you can read from it from NSIS. For edit texts and dir and file
- request boxes, this is the string that is specified. For radio button and check boxes,
- this can be '0' or '1' (for unchecked or checked). For list boxes, combo boxes and drop lists this is the selected items separated by pipes ('|').
-
- Note: For Text fields with the MULTILINE flag, \r\n will be converted to a newline.
- To use a back-slash in your text you have to escape it using another back-slash - \\.
- Described below are NSIS functions for converting text to/from
- this format. |
-
- ListItems |
- (optional) |
- A list of items to display in a combobox,
- droplist, or listbox. This is a single line of text with each item
- separated by a pipe character '|' |
-
- MaxLen |
- (optional) |
- Causes validation on the selected control
- to limit the maximum length of text. If the user specifies more text
- than this, a message box will appear when they click "OK" and the dialog
- will not be dismissed. You should not use this on a
- "combobox" since the user can not control what is
- selected. This should be set to a maximum of 260
- for "FileRequest" and "DirRequest"
- controls. Ignored on "label"
- controls. |
-
- MinLen |
- (optional) |
- Causes validation on the selected control
- to force the user to enter a minimum amount of text. If the user
- specifies less text than this, a message box will appear when they click
- "OK" and the dialog will not be dismissed. Unlike MaxLen, this is
- useful for "Combobox" controls.
- By setting this to a value of "1" the program will force the user to
- select an item. Ignored on "Label"
- controls. |
-
- ValidateText |
- (optional) |
- If the field fails the test for
- "MinLen" or "MaxLen",
- a messagebox will be displayed with this text.
- Note: \r\n will be converted to a newline, two back-slashes will be converted to one - \\.
- Described below are NSIS functions for converting text to/from
- this format. |
-
- Left Right Top Bottom |
- (required) |
- The position on the dialog where this
- control appears. All sizes should be set in dialog units.
- To get the right dimensions for your controls, design your dialog
- using a resource editor and copy the dimensions to the INI file.
- Note: For combobox or droplist, the
- "bottom" value is not used in the
- same way. In this case, the bottom value is the maximum
- size of the window when the pop-up list is being displayed. All other
- times, the combobox is automatically sized to be one element tall. If you
- have trouble where you can not see the combobox drop-down, then check
- the bottom value and ensure it is large enough.
- Note (2):
- FileRequest and DirRequest controls will allocate 15 dialog units to the
- browse button. Make this control wide enough the contents of the textbox
- can be seen. Note that you can specify negative coordinates to specify the
- distance from the right or bottom edge. |
-
- Filter |
- (optional) |
- Specifies the filter to be used in the
- "FileRequest" control. This is constructed
- by putting pairs of entries together, each item separated by a | character.
- The first value in each pair is the text to display for the filter.
- The second value is the pattern to use to match files.
- For example, you might specify:
- Filter=Text Files|*.txt|Programs|*.exe;*.com|All Files|*.*
- If not specified, then the filter defaults to All
- Files|*.*
Note: you should not put
- any extra spaces around the | characters. |
-
- Root |
- (optional) |
- Used by DirRequest controls to
- specify the root directory of the search. By default, this allows the
- user to browse any directory on the computer. This will limit the search
- to a particular directory on the system. |
-
- Flags |
- (optional) |
- This specifies additional flags for the
- display of different controls. Each value should be separated by a |
- character, and you should be careful not to put any spaces around the |
- character.
-
-
- Value |
- Meaning |
-
- REQ_SAVE |
- This causes "FileRequest"
- controls to display a Save As dialog. If not specified, an Open dialog
- is used. |
-
- FILE_MUST_EXIST |
- Used by "FileRequest" to
- determine if the selected file must exist. This only applies
- if an "Open" dialog is being displayed. This currently does not force
- the file to exist other than through the browse button. |
-
- FILE_EXPLORER |
- Used by "FileRequest",
- enables new file request look (recommended) |
-
- FILE_HIDEREADONLY |
- Used by "FileRequest",
- hides "open read only" checkbox in open dialog. |
-
- WARN_IF_EXIST |
- Used by "FileRequest"
- to display a warning message if the selected file already exists.
- The warning message is only displayed for files selected with the
- browse button. |
-
- PATH_MUST_EXIST |
- Used by "FileRequest"
- to force the path to
- exist. Prevents the user from typing a non-existent path into the
- browse dialog window. This only validates path's
- selected with the browse button. |
-
- PROMPT_CREATE |
- Used by "FileRequest"
- to display a warning
- if the selected file does not exist. However, it still allows the
- user to select the file. This only displays the
- warning for files selected with the browse button.
- Doesn't work along with REQ_SAVE. |
-
- RIGHT |
- Used by "Checkbox"
- and "Radiobutton" controls to specify you
- want the checkbox to the right of the text instead of the left as is
- the default. |
-
- MULTISELECT |
- Used by "Listbox"
- controls. Turns string selection on or off each time the user clicks or double-clicks a string in the list box. The user can select any number of strings. If this flag and EXTENDEDSELCT are not specified, only one item can be selected from the list. |
-
- EXTENDEDSELCT |
- Used by "Listbox"
- controls. Allows multiple items to be selected by using the SHIFT key and the mouse or special key combinations. If this flag and MULTISELECT are not specified, only one item can be selected from the list. |
-
- RESIZETOFIT |
- This causes "Bitmap"
- controls to resize the image to the size of the control.
- Also useful to support custom DPI settings. |
-
- GROUP |
- Add this flag to the first control of a group
- of controls to group them. Grouping controls allows you to create multiple
- groups of radio button and makes keyboard navigation using arrow keys
- easier. |
-
- NOTABSTOP |
- Do not stop on the control when the user pressed
- the Tab key. Add NOTABSTOP to all controls of a group except the first
- one to allow navigation between groups with the Tab key. |
-
- DISABLED |
- Causes a control to be disabled. |
-
- ONLY_NUMBERS |
- Used by "Text" controls. Forces the user to enter only numbers into the edit box. |
-
- MULTILINE |
- Used by "Text" controls. Causes the control to accept multiple-lines. |
-
- WANTRETURN |
- Used by "Text" controls with multiple-line. Specifies that a carriage return be inserted when the user presses the ENTER key
- while entering text into the text box. |
-
- HSCROLL |
- Used by "Text" controls with multiple-line. Show a horizontal scrollbar. |
-
- VSCROLL |
- Used by "Text" controls with multiple-line. Show a vertical scrollbar. |
-
- READONLY |
- Used by "Text" controls. Prevents the user from entering or editing text in the edit control, but allow the user to select and copy the text. |
- |
-
- TxtColor |
- (optional) |
- Used by Link controls to
- specify the foreground color of the text. Format: 0xBBRRGG (hexadecimal). |
