Can you create a custom page that looks like the Finish page? - inno-setup

Can you create a custom page that looks like the Finish page?
This is the code for custom page,
UserPage2 := CreateCustomPage(
UserPage1.ID,
'Title',
'Details'
);
This custom page,
Needs to look like this,
The reason for this is because, sometimes when the user runs the installer again they will be able to select few options. Based on the options the installer needs to make few changes to the settings used by the installed program without overwriting the files by reinstalling. So the user should get the Finish dialog after the changes.

Recreate the FinishedPage controls on your custom page.
When entering the page, you need to resize WizardForm.InnerNotebook to cover whole wizard window (except for the bottom button area) and hide the page header controls.
var
FakeFinishedPage: TWizardPage;
FakeFinishedBitmapImage: TBitmapImage;
FakeFinishedLabel: TNewStaticText;
FakeFinishedHeadingLabel: TNewStaticText;
procedure CopyBounds(Dest, Source: TControl);
begin
Dest.Left := Source.Left;
Dest.Top := Source.Top;
Dest.Width := Source.Width;
Dest.Height := Source.Height;
end;
procedure FakeFinishedPageActivate(Sender: TWizardPage);
begin
WizardForm.Bevel1.Visible := False;
WizardForm.MainPanel.Visible := False;
WizardForm.InnerNotebook.Left := 0;
WizardForm.InnerNotebook.Top := 0;
WizardForm.InnerNotebook.Width := WizardForm.OuterNotebook.ClientWidth;
WizardForm.InnerNotebook.Height := WizardForm.OuterNotebook.ClientHeight;
// With WizardStyle=modern and/or WizardResizable=yes,
// we cannot copy the sizes in InitializeWizard as they are not final yet.
CopyBounds(FakeFinishedBitmapImage, WizardForm.WizardBitmapImage2);
FakeFinishedBitmapImage.Anchors := WizardForm.WizardBitmapImage2.Anchors;
CopyBounds(FakeFinishedLabel, WizardForm.FinishedLabel);
FakeFinishedLabel.Anchors := WizardForm.FinishedLabel.Anchors;
CopyBounds(FakeFinishedHeadingLabel, WizardForm.FinishedHeadingLabel);
FakeFinishedHeadingLabel.Anchors := WizardForm.FinishedHeadingLabel.Anchors;
WizardForm.BackButton.Visible := False;
WizardForm.NextButton.Caption := SetupMessage(msgButtonFinish);
end;
procedure CopyLabel(Dest, Source: TNewStaticText);
begin
Dest.AutoSize := Source.AutoSize;
Dest.Font := Source.Font;
Dest.ShowAccelChar := Source.ShowAccelChar;
Dest.WordWrap := Source.WordWrap;
end;
procedure InitializeWizard();
var
S: string;
begin
// ...
FakeFinishedPage := CreateCustomPage(UserPage1.ID, '', '');
FakeFinishedPage.OnActivate := #FakeFinishedPageActivate;
FakeFinishedBitmapImage := TBitmapImage.Create(WizardForm);
FakeFinishedBitmapImage.Parent := FakeFinishedPage.Surface;
FakeFinishedBitmapImage.BackColor := WizardForm.WizardBitmapImage2.BackColor;
FakeFinishedBitmapImage.Bitmap := WizardForm.WizardBitmapImage2.Bitmap;
FakeFinishedBitmapImage.Stretch := WizardForm.WizardBitmapImage2.Stretch;
FakeFinishedLabel := TNewStaticText.Create(WizardForm);
FakeFinishedLabel.Parent := FakeFinishedPage.Surface;
CopyLabel(FakeFinishedLabel, WizardForm.FinishedLabel);
S := SetupMessage(msgFinishedLabelNoIcons) + #13#13 + SetupMessage(msgClickFinish);
StringChangeEx(S, '[name]', 'My Program', True);
FakeFinishedLabel.Caption := S;
FakeFinishedHeadingLabel := TNewStaticText.Create(WizardForm);
FakeFinishedHeadingLabel.Parent := FakeFinishedPage.Surface;
CopyLabel(FakeFinishedHeadingLabel, WizardForm.FinishedHeadingLabel);
S := SetupMessage(msgFinishedHeadingLabel);
StringChangeEx(S, '[name]', 'My Program', True);
FakeFinishedHeadingLabel.Caption := S;
end;
There are some limitations:
The code does not handle correctly image resizes, when the wizard resizes (with WizardResizable=yes) – it's easy to fix though.
The solution does not expect that any page will be shown after this fake finish pages shows. I.e. there's no Back button and it's expected that the Finish button is implement to kill the intallater. After all, this is a follow up question to Conditionally skip to a custom page at the end of the Inno Setup installation wizard without installing?
Though to avoid all these hacks, consider allowing the installation to proceed normally, but without changing anything. It might be easier to implement in the end.

Inno Setup - Transparency under text in page name and description labels

I want make transparency under text here:
As you can see, I have black background what i don't want to have.
Greetings.
The PageNameLabel and PageDescriptionLabel are TNewStaticText components. This component does not support transparency. Though TLabel component, which has similar functionality otherwise, does support transparency (in Unicode version of Inno Setup and with themed Windows only).
So, you can replace those two components with TLabel equivalent. And then you need to make sure, that captions of your new custom components get updated, whenever Inno Setup does update the original components. For these two components, this is quite easy, as they get updated only, when a page changes. So you can update your custom components from CurPageChanged event function.
function CloneStaticTextToLabel(StaticText: TNewStaticText): TLabel;
begin
Result := TLabel.Create(WizardForm);
Result.Parent := StaticText.Parent;
Result.Left := StaticText.Left;
Result.Top := StaticText.Top;
Result.Width := StaticText.Width;
Result.Height := StaticText.Height;
Result.AutoSize := StaticText.AutoSize;
Result.ShowAccelChar := StaticText.ShowAccelChar;
Result.WordWrap := StaticText.WordWrap;
Result.Font := StaticText.Font;
StaticText.Visible := False;
end;
var
PageDescriptionLabel: TLabel;
PageNameLabel: TLabel;
procedure InitializeWizard();
begin
{ ... }
{ Create TLabel equivalent of standard TNewStaticText components }
PageNameLabel := CloneStaticTextToLabel(WizardForm.PageNameLabel);
PageDescriptionLabel := CloneStaticTextToLabel(WizardForm.PageDescriptionLabel);
end;
procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer);
begin
{ Update the custom TLabel components from the standard hidden components }
PageDescriptionLabel.Caption := WizardForm.PageDescriptionLabel.Caption;
PageNameLabel.Caption := WizardForm.PageNameLabel.Caption;
end;
Way easier is to change original labels background color:

Inno Setup - Customize installing page

How can I customize the installing page of Inno Setup?
Here exactly shows the changes that are going to be made.
Before
After
Now, status text 'Installing Collectica' will be static and not dynamic.
Also, adding extra time to the progress bar.
I will appreciate your answers. Thanks
You have to customize WizardForm.InstallingPage:
Hide the FilenameLabel and StatusLabel
Add you custom label
Add the image
For the first two:
procedure InitializeWizard();
var
CustomStatusLabel: TNewStaticText;
begin
WizardForm.FilenameLabel.Visible := False;
WizardForm.StatusLabel.Visible := False;
WizardForm.ProgressGauge.Top := WizardForm.InstallingPage.Height - ScaleY(60);
CustomStatusLabel := TNewStaticText.Create(WizardForm);
CustomStatusLabel.Parent := WizardForm.InstallingPage;
CustomStatusLabel.Caption := 'Installing Colectica';
CustomStatusLabel.Font.Size := CustomStatusLabel.Font.Size + 4;
CustomStatusLabel.Font.Style := [fsBold];
CustomStatusLabel.AutoSize := True;
CustomStatusLabel.Top :=
WizardForm.ProgressGauge.Top - CustomStatusLabel.Height - ScaleY(8);
CustomStatusLabel.Left :=
WizardForm.ProgressGauge.Left +
((WizardForm.ProgressGauge.Width - CustomStatusLabel.Width) div 2);
end;
For the image, see:
Inno Setup Placing image/control on custom page

Image covering whole page in Inno Setup

Following on from this: Inno Setup Placing image/control on custom page.
This is doing what I need:
CustomPage := CreateCustomPage(wpLicense, 'Heading', 'Sub heading.');
ExtractTemporaryFile('image.bmp');
BtnImage := TBitmapImage.Create(WizardForm);
with BtnImage do
begin
Parent := CustomPage.Surface;
Bitmap.LoadFromFile(ExpandConstant('{tmp}')+'\image.bmp');
AutoSize := True;
AutoSize := False;
Height := ScaleX(Height);
Width := ScaleY(Width);
Stretch := True;
Left := ScaleX(90);
Top := WizardForm.SelectTasksPage.Top + WizardForm.SelectTasksPage.Height -
Height - ScaleY(8);
Cursor := crHand;
OnClick := #ImageOnClick;
end;
However I would like the background image to be the full size of the space bellow the heading and above the footer with no side margins. I was trying various stretch/margin/height/width, but the results are messy. What's the best way to achieve this that looks good no matter the DPI?
You can retrieve a size of the (custom) page surface using TWizardPage.SurfaceHeight and TWizardPage.SurfaceWidth.
BtnImage.Height := CustomPage.SurfaceHeight;
BtnImage.Width := CustomPage.SurfaceWidth;
// Needed for WizardStyle=modern
BtnImage.Anchors := [akLeft, akTop, akRight, akBottom];
Though you will see that the (custom) page does not cover whole area between "header" (MainPanel) and "footer" (bottom part with buttons).
If you want to display image across the whole area between "header" and "footer", you cannot place it on the (custom) page. You have to place it on the InnerPage (what is a parent control of all pages with the "header").
BtnImage.Parent := WizardForm.InnerPage;
BtnImage.Left := 0;
BtnImage.Top := WizardForm.Bevel1.Top + 1;
BtnImage.Width := WizardForm.InnerPage.ClientWidth;
BtnImage.Height := WizardForm.InnerPage.ClientHeight - BtnImage.Top;
// Needed for WizardStyle=modern
BtnImage.Anchors := [akLeft, akTop, akRight, akBottom];
But that way the image won't get automatically shown/hidden as the custom page shows/hides. You have to code it. Use CurPageChanged event function.
procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer);
begin
WizardForm.InnerNoteBook.Visible := (CurPageID <> CustomPage.ID);
BtnImage.Visible := (CurPageID = CustomPage.ID);
end;

Inno Setup custom wizard pages ("installation checklist") change text at runtime

I made a custom wizard page, and I want it to show a sort of installation checklist at the end of the install, showing what installed successfully or not.
Something like
Crucial Step......................SUCCESS
Optional Step.....................FAILURE
So I have this code in my initializeWizard()
Page := CreateCustomPage(wpInstalling, 'Installation Checklist', 'Status of all installation components');
RichEditViewer := TRichEditViewer.Create(Page);
RichEditViewer.Width := Page.SurfaceWidth;
RichEditViewer.Height := Page.SurfaceHeight;
RichEditViewer.Parent := Page.Surface;
RichEditViewer.ScrollBars := ssVertical;
RichEditViewer.UseRichEdit := True;
RichEditViewer.RTFText := ''// I want this attribute to be set in CurStepChanged()
Is there a way to add or edit RichEditViewer.RTFText at a later point in time? Page is a global variable but trying to access any attributes gives me an error. I'd like to do edit the text after wpInstalling, so I can tell whether or not install steps were successful.
I'm not a huge fan of this method, but you Can set your RichEditViewer as a global, and then editing it at any point, in any function, is trivial.
var
RichEditViewer: TRichEditViewer;
procedure InitializeWizard();
var
Page: TWizardPage;
begin
Page := CreateCustomPage(wpInstalling, 'Installation Checklist', '');
RichEditViewer := TRichEditViewer.Create(Page);
RichEditViewer.Width := Page.SurfaceWidth;
RichEditViewer.Height := Page.SurfaceHeight;
RichEditViewer.Parent := Page.Surface;
RichEditViewer.ScrollBars := ssVertical;
RichEditViewer.UseRichEdit := True;
end;
procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);
begin
if CurStep=ssPostInstall then RichEditViewer.RTFText := 'STUFF';
end;
Worthwhile to note, the page itself doesn't even need to be global.

Inno Setup Skip custom page after execution of some scripts

so i am currently trying to modify the setup script,
What i was trying to do was after installing i enter in a custom page, this custom page executes 2 scritps(one for creating the database and the other for creating the tables).
while this is executing i want to display a custom label,and a continuous progress bar.
When the execution finish, i want to go directly to the finish page.
I wanto to also remove the next button.
Is this possible?
For the moment i have the custom page with a constinuous progress bar, this page appears after install.i will then add the label after finishing the progress bar part.
here is my code:
[CODE]
var
Page: TWizardPage;
ProgressBar3: TNewProgressBar;
procedure CreateTheWizardPages;
begin
Page := CreateCustomPage(wpInstalling, 'Base de dados', 'A verificar a base de dados');
ProgressBar3 := TNewProgressBar.Create(Page);
ProgressBar3.Left := 5;
ProgressBar3.Width := Page.SurfaceWidth - 5;
ProgressBar3.Parent := Page.Surface;
ProgressBar3.Style := npbstMarquee;
end;
procedure InitializeWizard();
begin
CreateTheWizardPages;
end;
//check the current page,if page equals to wpSelectCompnets, then we add the method on choose to the combobox fo types of installation
procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer);
begin
//msgbox(IntToStr( CurPageID),mbInformation, MB_OK);
if CurPageID = wpSelectComponents then
begin
comboboxTypesInstalacao:=WizardForm.TypesCombo;
WizardForm.TypesCombo.OnChange:=#ComboBoxChange;
end
else if CurPageID = Page.ID then
begin
try
CreateDBAndTables('idontimedb.des');
finally
//close this custom wizard page and go to finish page
end;
end;
end;
Thanks in advance.
