I have added a checkbox to the "Additional Tasks" page of an InnoSetup script with
[Tasks]
Name: "StartMenuEntry" ; Description: "Start my app when Windows starts" ; GroupDescription: "Windows Startup"; MinVersion: 4,4;
I want to initialize this checkbox when the wpSelectTasks
page shows, and read the value when the Next
button is clicked. I can't work out how to access the checkbox `checked' value.
function NextButtonClick(CurPageID: Integer): Boolean;
var
SelectTasksPage : TWizardPage ;
StartupCheckbox : TCheckbox ;
begin
Result := true ;
case CurPageID of
wpSelectTasks :
begin
SelectTasksPage := PageFromID (wpSelectTasks) ;
StartupCheckbox := TCheckbox (SelectTasksPage... { <== what goes here??? }
StartupCheckboxState := StartupCheckbox.Checked ;
end ;
end ;
end ;
The task check boxes are in fact items in the WizardForm.TasksList
check list box. If you know their indexes you can access them pretty easily. Note, that the items can be grouped (what is just your case) and each new group takes also one item in that check list box, so for your case the item index will be 1:
[Setup]
AppName=TasksList
AppVersion=1.0
DefaultDirName={pf}\TasksList
[Tasks]
Name: "TaskEntry"; Description: "Description"; GroupDescription: "Group";
[code]
function NextButtonClick(CurPageID: Integer): Boolean;
begin
Result := True;
if CurPageID = wpSelectTasks then
begin
if WizardForm.TasksList.Checked[1] then
MsgBox('First task has been checked.', mbInformation, MB_OK)
else
MsgBox('First task has NOT been checked.', mbInformation, MB_OK);
end;
end;
procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer);
begin
if CurPageID = wpSelectTasks then
WizardForm.TasksList.Checked[1] := False;
end;
Here is illustrated how the WizardForm.TasksList
check list box would looks like when you'd have two tasks with different groups:
To access the task check box by its description try the following:
[Setup]
AppName=Task List
AppVersion=1.0
DefaultDirName={pf}\TasksList
[Tasks]
Name: "Task"; Description: "Task Description"; GroupDescription: "Group 1";
[code]
function NextButtonClick(CurPageID: Integer): Boolean;
var
Index: Integer;
begin
Result := True;
if CurPageID = wpSelectTasks then
begin
Index := WizardForm.TasksList.Items.IndexOf('Task Description');
if Index <> -1 then
begin
if WizardForm.TasksList.Checked[Index] then
MsgBox('First task has been checked.', mbInformation, MB_OK)
else
MsgBox('First task has NOT been checked.', mbInformation, MB_OK);
end;
end;
end;
procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer);
var
Index: Integer;
begin
if CurPageID = wpSelectTasks then
begin
Index := WizardForm.TasksList.Items.IndexOf('Task Description');
if Index <> -1 then
WizardForm.TasksList.Checked[Index] := False;
end;
end;
Great answer above. Gave me just what I needed.
I had a case where I have a bunch of secondary installers that I used the 'checkonce' option on, but I wanted them to be re-checked if the folder was missing (e.g. the user wiped out the install folder manually), e.g.
[Tasks]
Name: "InstallPython" ; Description: "Install Python" ; Flags: checkedonce
Name: "InstallNPP" ; Description: "Install Notepad++" ; Flags: checkedonce
[Code]
procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer);
var
ItemIx: Integer;
begin
if CurPageID = wpSelectTasks then begin
if not DirExists(ExpandConstant('{app}')) then begin
for ItemIx := 0 to (WizardForm.TasksList.Items.Count - 1) do
WizardForm.TasksList.Checked[ItemIx] := True;
end
end
end;
