procedure InitializeWizard; var CustomForm: TForm; begin CustomForm := CreateCustomForm; if CustomForm.ShowModal = mrOK then MsgBox('You entered: ' + EditUsername.Text, mbInformation, MB_OK); end; | Feature | How to use | |---------|-------------| | Events | In Object Inspector → Events tab → Click OnClick → Generate code stub | | Image/Logo | Use TImage control – point to BMP/PNG (must be included via [Files] in script) | | RadioGroup | Add TRadioGroup – set Items property (one item per line) | | Font customization | Select control → Font property → Choose size, style, charset | | Preview mode | Form → Preview – test click behavior (non-modal) | | Load/Save .isf | Native project format saves control layout without generating script | Part 7: Common Issues & Solutions | Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | ISFD doesn’t start / crashes | Run as Administrator. Set compatibility mode to Windows 7. | | Generated code gives errors in Inno Setup | Make sure you’re using Inno Setup 5.5+ (Unicode). For ANSI, avoid Unicode characters in captions. | | Controls not visible at runtime | You forgot Parent := Result for each control. ISFD usually includes it – check generated code. | | ModalResult doesn’t close form | You must set ModalResult := mrOK or mrCancel on buttons. | | Form size is wrong | In Inno Setup, form scaling is affected by WizardForm font. Set Scaled := False on your form. | | Can’t find ISFD 2.0.8 | Try version 2.0.7 or 2.1 – they are very similar. | Part 8: Alternatives & Why Choose 2.0.8 | Tool | Pros | Cons | |------|------|------| | ISFD 2.0.8 | Lightweight, pure Pascal output, no runtime dependencies | Unmaintained since ~2016 | | Inno Script Studio | Full IDE with built-in form designer | Paid, larger footprint | | ISTool | Form designer included (basic) | Very outdated | | Manual coding | Full control | Slow, error-prone |
Then call the form from InitializeWizard or a custom button: inno setup form designer 2.0.8 download
Add the generated code inside the [Code] section. For ANSI, avoid Unicode characters in captions
EditUsername := TEdit.Create(Result); with EditUsername do begin Parent := Result; Left := 20; Top := 45; Width := 200; end; | | ModalResult doesn’t close form | You
BtnOK := TButton.Create(Result); with BtnOK do begin Parent := Result; Caption := 'OK'; Left := 220; Top := 240; ModalResult := mrOK; end;
