Problems using Dialog Designer (1.Abort, 2.Move controls)
by Greg Smith » December 7, 2021 - 23:18

Hi There,

Firstly, thank you for an excellent and time saving tool. I have found a couple of problems:

1. Skipping a page with Abort

When I have two custom pages created with Dialog Designer, and try to skip the first one with custom code that inserts an Abort, the second page crashes. I suspect the problem is that the code to test if the page is wanted is inserted AFTER the code to create the Dialog Page. Either I need to hand edit the resulting code, or I need to persuade you to allow us to add code BEFORE the dialog is created, much as we can with the MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE.

2. On a High DPI display, set to 150% scaling, when I move controls, they leave a mess behind that is not todied up until I click elsewhere in the window.

Should be great to have 2 samples:

  1. sample project created with NSISDialogDesigner (the one that crashes)
  2. same project + your fixes, to show me what's missing

Comparing the two I'd like to be able to find what's missing in the editor and/or if there's a better way to accomplish your requirements.

NOTE: sample projects must be as simpler as possible, with only the elements needed to show the issue.

Well, the dialog designer was built with .NET 2.0, when HighDPI screens were not so widespread.
I suppose .NET 2.0 is not fully HighDPI-aware 🙄

Should have a look at it and upgrade to 4.x, but I can't make any promise...
