== Latest Beta Version Changes ==
== Lastest Version Changes ==


*Removed GPL'd code from the plug-in. Removed support for GDI+, which in turn, removed newer systems support of .png, .tiff, and .emf files.
After seven years since the last beta version, this is the new InstallOptionsEx version 2.4.5 beta 3.
*Added support for the key "F2" on ''TreeView'' and ''ListView'' controls.
*Fixed the selection of the last item with the "End" key in a ''ListView'' control without the ''CHECKBOXES'' flag and without using ''LargeImageList'' INI key.
*Fixed: When StateImageList points to an invalid file, it still applies the ''CHECKBOXES'' flag normally.
*Fixed: When a label was not changed in TreeView or ListView controls that use the ''EDITLABELS'' flags, it was emptied.


== Things Done for Next Version ==
A lot of bugs were fixed in this version.


*'''BUG FIXED:''' ''Image'' controls implementation was coded poorly.
Two versions of the plugin are available: an ANSI and an UNICODE.
*'''BUG FIXED:''' Dialog box now can be colored (bug introduced IOEx 2.4.1 beta 6).
*'''BUG FIXED:''' ''Filter'' key value had last character chop down.
*'''BUG FIXED:''' ''Filter'' key value's first item in array is the only one detected.
*'''BUG FIXED:''' ''Filter'' key value can overrun the buffer by one byte besides the "BufferSize" limit for characters.


== Things To Do on Next Versions ==
'''Changes since version 2.4.5 beta 2:'''


=== Next Version ===
A big thank to Tallmaris (Leandro Tramma) for the initial unicode compatibility.


==== As Discussed ====
* Added: Full unicode support;
* Added: make_unicode dll function for Unicode build: Convert an ANSI INI file to the UNICODE charset;
* Applied patches from the original InstallOptions source repository.


*'''TODO:''' add "Tab" controls. (?)


==== As Planned ====
== Credits ==
 
*'''TODO:''' Add ability to convert "\\" to "\" in lists.
*'''BUG:''' The ''ListItems'' value name for ''ComboBox'' and ''DropList'' controls can't have the combination "\\" and "\|". This needs to be verified.
*'''BUG:''' When using ''TreeView'' controls with ''EDITLABELS'' flag, and when you change an item name, if you press "ESC" or "ENTER", the installer is dismissed, which is what happens for other actions in the installer. This doesn't happen with ''ListView''.
 
=== Other Future Versions Before Major Release ===
 
*Most of the types of controls available for Windows.
*Support for multiple dialogs at the same time.
*Custom dialogs for pages.
*Create a system for including new types of controls separately from this plugin. (This is NSIS TODO)


=== Post Major Release ===
Original IO version Copyright © 2001 Michael Bishop ([[User:locnar42|locnar42]])


*Sorting algorithms for "ListItems" based controls (this should be a separate plugin).
IO DLL version 1 Copyright © 2001-2002 Nullsoft, Inc., ORTIM
*Dragging of items.
*Menus.


The rest of it I don't publish (I have my reasons).

*Nothing at this moment.

  • Normal and Balloon ToolTips with color change and a halfway multiline support.
