Description

Version: 2.4.5 beta 2 alpha 7.

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.
