help - checkbox option text in sdFinish
I have the sdFinish dialog displayed at the end of my istall. I have an option which reads "I would like to register to recieve email notifications about product updates."
But, the option is truncated when this dialog is displayed during installation because it is too long. I looked around in the documentation but I could not find any help to display the entire checkbox option text either in a smaller font or in two lines. I tried using a "\n" but the option text is still displayed truncated and doesn't display the entire message in the next line. Is it possible to edit the text properties in sdFinish options? Can i display the entire text in two lines? Any ideas?
Thanks

It should at least be possible with a custom dialog. You can check this dialog in the ui editor, there you can see that the chckbox label has a fixed height and if the text is too long, parts are hidden. So, if you create a custom dialog with labels of greater size, they should show everything.
However, I also wondering if there is no other way to do that. Didn't found anything.

I got the same issue here.
I created a custom dialog and created a checkbox with a long text. However it will display only one line, even though I have set the height to a very BIG number.
I think this is the flaw of the custom dialog code.
I have to create a blank checkbox without a text, and then create a text box with the long text.
