Need some help with radio buttons..

[RUU7]

Hi y'all,

I need some help with my radio buttons on a Custom Page.

I found a thread here, concerning radio buttons and packages. Everythings works like a charm, BUT no radio button ist checked by default.

Okay, right, I could just do it with the default Radio buttons Page, but I really don't like the look, so I decided to add a Custom Page and design it by my own.

I just copied the code from the example and added it to my new Custom Page On Next actions.

Here's the code:

SetupData.SetPackageProperties("complete", 	{Install = DlgRadioButton.GetProperties(CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_01).Checked});
SetupData.SetPackageProperties("iDesktop", 	{Install = DlgRadioButton.GetProperties(CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_02).Checked});
SetupData.SetPackageProperties("jScripts", 	{Install = DlgRadioButton.GetProperties(CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_03).Checked});
Screen.Next();

What could I do, to have a radio button checked by default, when the screen appears? All of them are unchecked and I don't find any option, where I could change it.

So, as you can see, I really need your help

Helping answers are very much appreciated!

In the radio button screen, select the "attributes" tab.
on the right side, there is a drop down box labeled "Default selection"

Thank you for your reply!

Unfortunately, I do not have a radio button screen, because i added a custom screen and 3 radio buttons instead and there is no selection at all.

There is no way to do that, isn't it?

My Sincerest apologies! I missed the key phrase that indicated you had a custom screen...

The way to handle that is in on preload just scan to see if one is set; if not; set the default...

Remember to store the selection of that in "on Next" and "on back" so that "on preload" can reselect the users selection....

Ah, okay. No problem at all. Will try that. Thanks!

Hi jassing,

I literally not a coder person but I tried and I obviously failed. :/

That's my code:

On Preload:

result_complete = DlgRadioButton.GetProperties(CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_01);
result_iDesktop = DlgRadioButton.GetProperties(CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_02);
result_jScripts = DlgRadioButton.GetProperties(CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_03);

if (result_complete) then
 DlgRadioButton.SetProperties(CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_01, {Checked})
end;

if (result_iDesktop) then
 DlgRadioButton.SetProperties(CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_01, {Checked})
end;

if (result_jScripts) then
 DlgRadioButton.SetProperties(CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_01, {Checked})
end;

3 Radio buttons on a Custom screen:

- CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_01
- CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_02
- CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_03

I added 3 packages to my installer:

- complete
- iDesktop
- jScripts

I need to have the first radio button (CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_01) checked when the screen appears.

It does not work and I don't get it at all. Could you please help me again?

Would be very much appreciated!

Your preload will have something like this:

if (result_complete) then
 DlgRadioButton.SetProperties(CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_01, {Checked=true})
end;

You're "on next" or "on back" will have

result_complete = DlgRadioButton.GetProperties(CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_01).Checked

To report back:

thank you very much, jassing, but I'm really not a coder and I just gave up at this and went back to the radio buttons page, which is working great now.

Thank you very much for your efforts!
