Listview difficulty

[ajit]

Hi

I have a listview with an input for search (Find).

I want the listview to scroll and select item (as I type) when it finds an appropriate match in search input box.

_GUICtrlListView_GetISearchString($listview) searches it when focus is on the listview but I need focus on input (Find).

I am not getting a clue on how to go about it.

Please help me out.

Thanks in anticipation.

The code herebelow:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>

#include <GuiListView.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <array.au3>

Global $listview, $Row_Changed

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "WM_NOTIFY")

$main = GUICreate("Find n Replace", 500, 190)

$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView("Find|Replace", 10, 60, 480, 100)

GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, 0x101E, 0, 250)

GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, 0x101E, 1, 250)

$item0 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("She's|She is", $listview)

$item1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("He's|He is", $listview)

$item2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("patien |patient", $listview)

$item3 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("surger|surgery", $listview)

$item4 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("year old|-year-old", $listview)

$item5 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Vicodyn|Vicodin", $listview)

$listview = GUICtrlGetHandle($listview)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Find:", 10, 7, 25, 16)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Replace:", 10, 32, 45, 16)

$Label_Row = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 60, 5, 630, 20)

$Label_Row2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 60, 30, 630, 20)

GUISetState()

_GUICtrlListView_RegisterSortCallBack($listview)

_GUICtrlListView_SortItems($listview, 0)

_GUICtrlListView_GetISearchString($listview)

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $msg

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exitloop

EndSwitch

If $Row_Changed Then

;GUICtrlSetData($Label_Row,_GUICtrlListView_GetSelectionMark($listview))

$index = _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectionMark($listview)

$dat = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($listview, $index)

$dat2 = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($listview, $index, 1)

GUICtrlSetData($Label_Row, $dat )

GUICtrlSetData($Label_Row2, $dat2 )

$Row_Changed = 0

EndIf

WEnd

Func WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)

#forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam

$tNMHDR = DllStructCreate($tagNMHDR, $ilParam)

$hWndFrom = HWnd(DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "hWndFrom"))

$iIDFrom = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "IDFrom")

$iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "Code")

Switch $hWndFrom

Case $listview

Switch $iCode

Case -155

$Row_Changed = 1

Case $NM_CLICK

$Row_Changed = 1

EndSwitch

EndSwitch

Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG

EndFunc

ajit,

This is not quite what you said you wanted, but perhaps you might find it interesting as it is not too different. The listbox will fill with matching strings as you begin typing in the input box. Clicking a string in the list puts it into the input box directly.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Global $INPUT, $LIST, $LIST_DATA = "", $KEYWORD[100], $NEW_DATA = "|"

$MAIN = GUICreate("Example", 200, 150)

$LIST = GUICtrlCreateList("", 5, 30, 190, 60, BitOR(0x00100000, 0x00200000))

    EndSwitch

    ; Show/hide list depending on input content and list data

        $sCurr_Input = GUICtrlRead($INPUT)
    EndIf

WEnd

Func CheckInputText()
    $l = StringLen(GUICtrlRead($INPUT))
    $NEW_DATA = "|" ; Start with delimiter so new data always replaces aold
    $READ = GUICtrlRead($INPUT)
    If $READ <> "" Then
        For $INDEX = 0 To 99
            If StringLeft($KEYWORD[$INDEX], $l) = $READ Then $NEW_DATA &= $KEYWORD[$INDEX] & "|"
        Next
        GUICtrlSetData($LIST, $NEW_DATA)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>CheckInputText

Func Keywords()
    For $INDEX = 0 To 99
        $KEYWORD[$INDEX] = Chr(Random(65, 90, 1)) & Chr(Random(65, 90, 1)) & Chr(Random(65, 90, 1)) & Chr(Random(65, 90, 1)) & Chr(Random(65, 90, 1))
        $LIST_DATA &= $KEYWORD[$INDEX] & "|"
    Next
    GUICtrlSetData($LIST, $LIST_DATA)
EndFunc   ;==>Keywords

I had this ready coded from another topic - I hope it helps.

P.S. Please use Code tags. Put [autoit ] before and [/autoit ] after your posted code (but omit the trailing space - it is only there so the tags display here).

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your help. It is very close to what I needed. I will try to modify to use in my code.

Thanks again.
