How do you retrieve the index number of a selected item in a created list

[Cheblon]

I need to get the index number of a selected item in a list box. The list box is created by me and so for some reason the command ControlListView doesnt seem to work.

GUICtrlRead works but only returns the value in the list and not the index number of that item.

Any help is great, thanks.

_GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices()

Look at it in the helpfile. Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

It worked but now it no longer responds to the list item changing.

I am using the method below to check for the item change:

while 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $lstSUname     
        MsgBox(0,"",_GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($lstSUname))
EndSwitch
WEnd

I am new to user functions so if there is another way of checking the item change please say

Thanks again

If it's a list box you are using then look at the example in the help for

_GUICtrlListBox_GetSelItems

If it's a Listview then you have a parameter missing in _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices, see the help.

I am using a ListView. Is there a way to check when the selection has been changed?

Look at the example for _GUICtrlListView_Create(). Run this in Scite, if you don't have Scite, get it. Down at the bottom you will see message pop up everytime you click an item on the listivew. You can change that code to do whatever you want to.

Edit: Scite
