Description

Plug-in is abandoned. Use InstallOptions plug-in instead.

Version: 2.4.4 beta 2 alpha 2 (Fixed).

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.
• All in 23 KB compressed with UPX.

Documentation is available with the plugin DLL download.

Latest Beta Version Changes

• Fixed: Image controls implementation was coded poorly.
• 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.
