I would like to display a little image, when user hovers mouse cursor over a component on the "Select Components" page.
For example, I would like to do something like this:
I found a half solution here: Long descriptions on Inno Setup components.
But I'm missing the image part.
Building upon my answer to Long descriptions on Inno Setup components. You will need to copy HoverTimerProc
and it's supporting functions and global variables.
This answer modifies the HoverComponentChanged
and InitializeWizard
procedures to support the images in addition to description labels.
