colors and bold text messagebox pulgin

Tilmeez · 16th August 2010, 16:34

Hi Guys,

I am new to NSIS and also to this forum.

I am required to make some phrases bold & red and some phrases bold & green in a single messagebox::show. I've been searching for the solution but haven’t found it yet.

Your help will be appreciated. Thanks

I doubt that'd be easy to do... you can typically only change the font properties for the whole control, and not per-word. The MessageBox plugin only offers a single text control.

Might be worth looking into alternatives.. putting the message in a regular ol' page, using nsWindows, displaying a bitmap with one of the banner plugins.. etc.
