*'''Fixed:''' ''Image'' controls implementation was coded poorly.
After seven years since the last beta version, this is the new InstallOptionsEx version 2.4.5 beta 3.
*'''Fixed:''' Dialog box now can be colored (bug introduced IOEx 2.4.1 beta 6).
*'''Fixed:''' ''Filter'' key value had last character chop down.
*'''Fixed:''' ''Filter'' key value's first item in array is the only one detected.
*'''Fixed:''' ''Filter'' key value can overrun the buffer by one byte besides the "BufferSize" limit for characters.
*'''Added:''' Ability to convert "\\" to "\" in lists.
*'''Fixed:''' The ''ListItems'' value name for ''ComboBox'' and ''DropList'' controls can't have the combination "\\" and "\|". This needs to be verified.


== Things To Do on Next Versions ==
A lot of bugs were fixed in this version.


=== Next Version ===
Two versions of the plugin are available: an ANSI and an UNICODE.


==== As Discussed ====
'''Changes since version 2.4.5 beta 2:'''


*'''TODO:''' add "Tab" controls. (?)
A big thank to Tallmaris (Leandro Tramma) for the initial unicode compatibility.


==== As Planned ====
* 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.


*'''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 ===
== Credits ==
 
*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 ===
 
*Sorting algorithms for "ListItems" based controls (this should be a separate plugin).
*Dragging of items.
*Menus.
 
The rest of it I don't publish (I have my reasons).

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.
