TLabel or TNewStaticText - change .Font.Style on Focus like Cursor changes with .Cursor

Question

Is it possible to change .Font.Style on Focus TLabel or TNewStaticText like it happens with cursor when we use .Cursor?

Answer 1

There is no built-in support to track mouse hovering in Inno Setup at this time. However, by intercepting window procedure of the controls you can track this by yourself. For the following example you will need the InnoCallback library:

[Setup]
AppName=My Program
AppVersion=1.5
DefaultDirName={pf}\My Program
OutputDir=userdocs:Inno Setup Examples Output

[Files]
Source: "InnoCallback.dll"; DestDir: "{tmp}"; Flags: dontcopy

[Code]
#ifdef UNICODE
  #define AW "W"
#else
  #define AW "A"
#endif
const
  GWL_WNDPROC = -4;
  WM_MOUSEMOVE = $0200;

type
  WPARAM = UINT_PTR;
  LPARAM = LongInt;
  LRESULT = LongInt;
  TWindowProc = function(hwnd: HWND; uMsg: UINT; wParam: WPARAM; 
    lParam: LPARAM): LRESULT;

function SetCapture(hWnd: HWND): HWND;
  external 'SetCapture@user32.dll stdcall';
function ReleaseCapture: BOOL;
  external 'ReleaseCapture@user32.dll stdcall';
function GetMessagePos: DWORD;

  external 'CallWindowProc{#AW}@user32.dll stdcall';
function SetWindowLong(hWnd: HWND; nIndex: Integer; 
  dwNewLong: LongInt): LongInt;

  ControlList[High(ControlList)].WndProc := SetWindowLong(Control.Handle,
    GWL_WNDPROC, WrapWindowProc(WindowProc, 4));
end;

// function to restore windows procedures to all controls in the list
procedure RestoreWndProcs;
var
  I: Integer;
begin
  for I := 0 to High(ControlList) do
    SetWindowLong(ControlList[I].Control.Handle, GWL_WNDPROC, ControlList[I].WndProc);
end;

// helper function to create a TPoint structure from the result of GetMessagePos
// function call
function MakePoint(Value: DWORD): TPoint;
begin
  Result.X := Value and $FFFF;

// helper function which substitutes PtInRect Windows API function which I wasn't
// able to import for some reason

    // set mouse capture for this control to be notified by the WM_MOUSEMOVE even if
    // we leave the control
    SetCapture(ControlRec.Control.Handle);
    // get the current cursor position and control rectangle (both screen relative)

    GetWindowRect(ControlRec.Control.Handle, R);
    // check if the cursor is inside the control; if yes, then...
    if PointInRect(R, P) then
    begin
      // if the hovering flag was not yet set, it means we just entered the control
      // with the mouse, so let's change the style and remember the hovering state

  AttachWndProc(StaticText2, @StaticTextWndProc);

Answer 2

for me the following command: High(ControlList) giving me the following error: Unknown identifier "High", I believe that High it's only available for Unicode Inno?? ( Correct me if I'm wrong :-). )

I made it work , by replacing the High(ControlList) with GetArrayLength(ControlList)-1.
