NSIS installer nsDialog checkbox not appearing as I think it should

I'm adding a custom page to an NSIS installer and I'm having trouble adding a checkbox. All the examples I've seen look the same, which is what I'm doing, but I can't see what could be wrong. (I've only been using NSIS for an hour or so!).

!include MUI2.nsh
!include WordFunc.nsh
!insertmacro VersionCompare
!include LogicLib.nsh
!include InstallOptions.nsh
!include nsDialogs.nsh

Var Heading

Function installOptionsPage

    nsDialogs::Create 1018
    Pop $Dialog

    ${If} $Dialog == error
        Abort
    ${EndIf}

    ${NSD_CreateLabel} 0 0 100% 50 "Installation Options"
    Pop $Heading
    CreateFont $0 "$(^Font)" "14" "500"
    SendMessage $Heading ${WM_SETFONT} $0 1

    ${NSD_CreateLabel} 0 50 100% 20 "Would you like to install as a service?"
    Pop $ServiceQuestion
    CreateFont $0 "$(^Font)" 11
    SendMessage $ServiceQuestion ${WM_SETFONT} $0 1

    ${NSD_CreateCheckbox} 50 50 100% 15 "Checkbox Test"
    Pop $SvcCheckBox
    ;GetFunctionAddress $0 OnCheckbox
    nsDialogs::OnClick $SvcCheckBox $0

    nsDialogs::Show

FunctionEnd

When the page appears the check box isn't there:

nsis nsdialog check box problem

Solution

  • My issue was rather silly. The Label was simply above the check box, rendering it invisible. My mistake.
