Bugfix on 8 Jun 2004, 10:37 PM--_GuiLB_GetSelItemsText For-loop bounds were wrong :D

Updated 9 June 2004, 10:43 PM--some additional functions

:D We can now get all selected items in a multiple-selection list box! Above code contains an example :huh2:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....stBoxStyles.asp

$LBS_EXTENDEDSEL = 0x0800;

Allows multiple items to be selected by using the SHIFT key and the mouse or special key combinations.

$LBS_MULTIPLESEL = 0x0008;

Turns string selection on or off each time the user clicks or double-clicks a string in the list box. The user can select any number of strings.

Yeah, I tried the last style in your last post earlier.

Here's what I did:

- create a msgbox: MsgBox(0, "Test", GUIRead($list_1))

- create a button

- start script

- Select multiple items

- click on the button

Result:

- Msgbox only shows the value of the last clicked item (whether selected or not)

Since my first post is getting long, I'll probably change it to a link to the code.

Anyway, here's a the list. Is any useful function missing?

Edit: List removed because it appears in jpm's next post :D Reduces the amount of scrollling you need td do.

Thanks--that will help!

By the way, I've purposely skipped messages like LB_GETLOCALE and LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT because they don't seem very useful to me :huh2:

I think I'll work on the input/edit messages then tab messages next.

I can agree. I did not conduct an analysis of what is useful but what can be done with the autoIt3 wraper I did :huh2:

Do you mean something like this?

Opt("GUINotifyMode", 1)
GuiCreate("MyGUI")

GuiSetControlData($list_1, "zero|one|two|three|four|five|six|seven")

_GuiLB_SetSel($list_1, 1, 1)
_GuiLB_SetSel($list_1, 1, 2)
_GuiLB_SetSel($list_1, 1, 4)
_GuiLB_SetSel($list_1, 1, 5)

GuiShow()
While GuiMsg(0) <> -3
    sleep(100)
WEnd
Exit


; Set's the selection set of the specified index; $flag == 0 means unselect, $flag == 1 means select
; Perhaps I could also have $flag == 2 to mean toggle.....
; An index of -1 means to apply $flag to all items.

     If $index == -1 Then

              GuiSendMsg($ref, $LB_SETSEL, 0, $index)

Hmm, given my rather lengthy post (due to functions depending on other functions and needing to include the right constants), I think I might develop two sets of libraries:

1) The current implementation where code is designed to re-use other functions and all contstants are declared in one group

2) A new design where each function is entirely self-contained an contains any contants it needs (so you only need to copy the functions you need).

Here's a not-fully-tested-yet http://www.autoitscript.com/fileman/users/public/CyberSlug/lb_wrappers_self-contained.au3 :ph34r:

I've also decided to add wrappers for LB_SETLOCALE and other functions that "don't seem very useful to me"

And I've figured out some uses for LB_SETITEMDATA which I hope to post in an example soon....

I uploaded a list http://www.autoitscript.com/fileman/users/public/CyberSlug/guiDefaultStyles.txt. (Disclaimer: might contain bugs)

It's not exactly related to GuiMsg Wrappers, but I wanted to post this info without starting a new thread. I hope to incorporate this information into AutoBuilder.....

I've also found WinSpy++ and CopyText to be quite useful for style stuff
