Description
Version: 2.4.5 beta 3.
This plugin is an extension for the original InstallOptions plug-in you find with NSIS package. For those who want to have a more professional looking NSIS page. See a little bit of the feature list below to entertain yourself:
- More controls: Animation, ProgressBar, TrackBar, IPAddress, DateTime, MonthCalendar, UpDown, TreeView, ListView, Image (based on already existing ones) and RichText.
- Extended notification system which you can specify the types of notifications you want a control to support.
- Supports setting colors and font for most of the controls. Alignment works for some controls.
- Supports timeout, which makes the plugin to go to the validation function automatically after the specified time.
- Normal and Balloon ToolTips with color change and a halfway multiline support.
- Automatic detection of number of controls available in your INI page file.
- Supports variables as a value for any value name, so you don't need anymore to write several times into an INI file.
- Flags have been added, like of those Buttons with an image or icon, Checkboxes with "gray" state added...
- ListBox controls have the multicolumn feature which makes each item to occupy less space of the control.
- Height and Width value names, have a better organization of controls rectangles.
- Button and Link controls have the old DirRequest and FileRequest controls abilities so that you can customize the control text and where the result will go of selecting a file or dir.
Documentation is available with the plugin DLL download.
