Question

I decided to create custom wizard page in my inno-setup-based installer. But i do not want to create it from scratch. I want to take TInputDirWizardPage and modify it, e.g. add a combo-box. Is it possible? How to do it?

Answer 1

I figured it out myself. So i will answer my own question. Here’s sample code:

[Code]
const DB_PAGE_CAPTION='Select Application Database Folder';
  DB_PAGE_DESCRIPTION='Where should application database files be installed or where     your database files already are?';
  DB_PAGE_SUBCAPTION='In case of new installation select the folder in which Setup should install application database files, then click Next. Or select folder where previous version of application stored database files, then click Next';

var databasePage : TInputDirWizardPage;//this is predefined form declaration
    CheckListBox : TNewCheckListBox;  //this is new element i'm about to add to page

procedure createDatabaseWizardPage; //creating page
begin
databasePage :=CreateInputDirPage(wpSelectDir,
DB_PAGE_CAPTION,
DB_PAGE_DESCRIPTION,
DB_PAGE_SUBCAPTION,
False, '');
databasePage.Add('');

databasePage.buttons[0].Top:=databasePage.buttons[0].Top+ScaleY(70);//moving predefined 
databasePage.edits[0].Top:=databasePage.edits[0].Top+ScaleY(70);    //elements down.
databasePage.edits[0].Text:=ExpandConstant('{commonappdata}\my app');//default value

CheckListBox := TNewCheckListBox.Create(databasePage);//creating and modifying new checklistbox
CheckListBox.Top := 40 + ScaleY(8);
CheckListBox.Width := databasePage.SurfaceWidth;
CheckListBox.Height := ScaleY(50);
CheckListBox.BorderStyle := bsNone;
CheckListBox.ParentColor := True;
CheckListBox.MinItemHeight := WizardForm.TasksList.MinItemHeight;
CheckListBox.ShowLines := False;
CheckListBox.WantTabs := True;
CheckListBox.Parent := databasePage.Surface;//setting control's parent element
CheckListBox.AddRadioButton('New Installation', '', 0, True, True, nil);
CheckListBox.AddRadioButton('Update existing copy', '', 0, False, True, nil);
end;


procedure InitializeWizard;
begin
createDatabaseWizardPage(); 
end;

Thanks everybody! 🙂
