Question

I am moving code from CurPageChanged to InitializeWizard.
In CurPageChanged I could do this if Inno has changed to the page I wanted modify the name and descripton for:

WizardForm.PageNameLabel.Caption := 'A message about your license';
WizardForm.PageDescriptionLabel.Caption := 'The message here';

But I can’t do something similar from InitializeWizard without specifying the page I want to change the caption for. I have looked at the Inno Setup source but I can’t figure out what I need to access. How can I change the name and description of a wizard page?

I would have thought something like WizardForm.LicensePage.PageNameLabel.Caption but that doesn’t work. Maybe I’m going about this all wrong. Is there an easier way? I might need to add translations for the name and description as well.

Answer 1

Include a Messages section in your script:

[Messages]
WizardLicense = A message about your license
LicenseLabel = The message here

The way it is supposed to work to support multiple languages is like this:

[Languages]
Name: en; MessagesFile: "compiler:Default.isl"
Name: de; MessagesFile: "compiler:Languages\German.isl"

[Messages]
en.WizardLicense = A message about your license
en.LicenseLabel = The message here
de.WizardLicense = (German translation)
de.LicenseLabel = (Another translation..)

You can of course modify a copy of the corresponding .isl file and use that instead.
