[HR]
About FMXPixie
FMXPixie is a DLL library that brings HTML-based user interfaces to Inno Setup.
It allows you to build custom installer layouts using HTML and CSS while keeping installation logic and setup operations in Inno Setup itself.
The library provides a way to create modern, customized installer interfaces without building every visual element as a separate FMX control.
Features
- HTML content loading with support for a base URL.
- CSS styling, classes, and dynamic element modification.
- Element interaction, mouse hover, and click event handling.
- DOM element selection and manipulation.
- Zoom and scrolling control.
- Customizable scrollbars.
- PNG and PDF export.
- Additional FMX-based controls, including SVG, tag bar, and Markdown views.
Integration
FMXPixie is designed to work with Inno Setup through a DLL and a Pascal Script wrapper.
The FMX interface runs separately from the standard Inno Setup wizard interface, allowing you to build a custom presentation while using Inno Setup for the installation process.
Requirements
Windows and a compatible Inno Setup environment. Use the appropriate DLL build for your target architecture.
