NSIS nsDialog has disabled back/next/cancel buttons?


I'm following the NSIS nsDialog tutorial with a goal to gather some user input I will use to write into a config file later. The NSISEclipse plugin has generated an MUI2 template that has gotten me started and successfully installs the files.

I have used the nsDialog tutorial to generate a dialog that does get emitted exactly where I want it to, but for some reason the "Back/Next/Cancel" buttons are all grey. I don't see where in the nsDialog documentation it says to enable/disable those buttons.

Here's my code:

Var Dialog
Var Label
Var MyTextBox
Section configLocationDialog
   nsDialogs::Create 1018
   Pop $Dialog
   ${If} $Dialog == error
       Abort
   ${EndIf}

   ${NSD_CreateLabel} 0 0 100% 12u "Hello, welcome to nsDialogs!"
   Pop $Label

   ${NSD_CreateText} 10% 20u 80% 12u "Hello World"
   Pop $MyTextbox

   nsDialogs::Show
SectionEnd

And, the dialog once displayed:

dialog with disabled buttons

What do I need to change to tell NSIS to allow back/next/cancel?

EDIT More code was asked for. Here's the whole thing as it exists now.

Solution

  • Calling nsDialogs::Create/Show in a section is never valid, they can only be called in the create callback function of a custom page.

    Some buttons will be disabled after the instfiles page (Already installed, cannot cancel or go back) but this is done by NSIS itself, not nsDialogs...
