Looking at making the Gui Management UDFs, GuiComb, GuiList, etc... work with non-AutoIt controls, this would require adding a couple of optional params to most if not all functions.

This would take some time but I think it would be worth the work, it would make the Functions a little more versitile.

looks like it would require switching over from the Autoit GUICtrlSendMsg() to using the "SendMessage" DllCall using a handle instead of a ControlId. or have the functions accept either one...

LRESULT SendMessage(          HWND hWnd,
    UINT Msg,
    WPARAM wParam,
    LPARAM lParam
);

Yep that would be the plan, for example:

Func _GUICtrlComboAddString($h_combobox, $s_text)
    Return GUICtrlSendMsg($h_combobox, $CB_ADDSTRING, 0, $s_text)
EndFunc  ;==>_GUICtrlComboAddString

would become:

Func _GUICtrlComboAddString($h_combobox, $s_text)
    If IsHWnd($h_combobox) Then
        Local $a_ret = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $h_combobox, "int", $CB_ADDSTRING, "int", 0, "str", $s_text)
        Return $a_ret[0]
    Else
        Return GUICtrlSendMsg($h_combobox, $CB_ADDSTRING, 0, $s_text)
    EndIf
EndFunc  ;==>_GUICtrlComboAddString

More code involved but it works both ways.

Changed how I am changing the functions, most won't need params added

If anyone is interested in helping test the functions here's what I have so far.

feedback/comments welcome.

Possible memory leak and code corrections.

Thanks Gary -- fantastic work!

Is there any way to easily select an item in a single-selection list box by index?

Potentially relevant functions offered by GUIList.au3:

• _GUICtrlListSelItemRange
• _GUICtrlListSelItemRangeEx
• _GUICtrlListSetTopIndex

_GUICtrlListSetTopIndex() didn't do the job. _GUICtrlListSelItemRange() and _GUICtrlListSelItemRangeEx() 'DOES NOT WORK WITH SINGLE-SELECTION LIST BOXES'. I can use _GUICtrlListSelectString() but this approach requires reading the string with _GUICtrlListGetText() first, and surely there's a way around that.

Call me crazy but there doesn't seem to be a _GUICtrlListSelectIndex() in that file...

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Gafrost

So when are these going to be replacing the UDF's in the Beta release?

Gary, for the newbs like me who don't know which way to vote, can you explain exactly what it is that you are trying to achieve by converting some AutoIt GUI controls so that they can be used with non-AutoIt controls? For a start, what are non-AutoIt controls?

Cheers

Vote don't matter, it's been done

As to what am trying to accomplish, for users who are trying to manipulate controls outside of an autoit gui script, they now have the udf's to accomplish most of the tasks.

Gary, the GUITreeView UDF library for foreign TreeViews doesn't seem to be included with the latest beta. Where can I obtain a copy of the library in the meantime?

It is a shame that we can only edit the first column. $LVS_EDITLABELS ideally should enable editing for all columns and rows.
